279 - Sovereignty For Sale

278 - Sign of the Times

A movement to create whites-only communities. IDF using Gazans for target practice. The New York Times oped column runs the gamut on genocide. And Japanese plastic that dissolves in the ocean (or Chris’ armpits).

Watervliet server gets in hot water with some elderly ladies. UPenn throws trans people under the bus for a pittance. Trump’s new bill squeezes immigrants with new fees and fines.
