Yup. The VP really only has two jobs outside the EC. 1) Have a heartbeat if the President dies and 2) vote if there’s a tie in the Senate. Thankfully, she never had to do the former and she did the latter more than any other VP in history.

When the (((AIPAC))) code becomes too bothersome.

Per i24: One American pilot rescued in Iran. Search underway for the other.

While this post is hopeful, I have a feeling that soon we will see another example of how, in America, all religions are equal, but one is more equal than all the others.

Also a lesson in how to handle the very friendly question.

חספ טוב?!? Tell me you don’t have a Jew on staff without telling me you don’t have a Jew on staff.

You know a case is going bad for the government when a justice suggests the prosecution seem to have violated the principals behind the Declaration of Independence. 😬

Wondering how long it takes for “Israel’s Knesset passes 2026 budget” to be reframed as “Netanyahu delays elections.” www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

In the Fediverse, I always thought it was people who don’t know how to code and don’t have Linux installed on any computer. 🤷‍♂️

Note that this takes a GOOD aspect of the Israeli system and tries to twist it against Israel. This is just bigotry. In Israel, failure to pass a budget forces elections. This is what Netanyahu is trying to avoid. He isn't trying to "postpone" anything. He's trying to prevent an early collapse.

It was a pickleball “accident” and (((they))) have kosher dill pickles…don’t you see it sheepies??? 🥴

I see that conservative opinion pieces from English speaking Israeli outlets are now all the rage and the only possible understanding of the Israeli-Diaspora relationship in my TL. 🙄

Leftists on Twitter want to bring back book burning for Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis and think white people are proper immigrants while everyone else is a "diasporoid," which is the leftist way of saying Untermensch.

That people are surprised by this proves how little they’ve been listening.

Tell me you don’t know how to pronounce Miccosukee without telling me you don’t know how to pronounce Miccosukee.

AIPAC is a prominent, bipartisan U.S.-based lobbying group that advocates for strong U.S.-Israel relations. While it acts in the interest of strengthening ties with a foreign nation, AIPAC is registered as a domestic organization, funded entirely by U.S. citizens. Which your bullshit.

Little did we know that he also needed to be neutered.

This is mortifying.

And I seriously doubt most of the people who invoke the discourse know that it has a well established history in Soviet antisemitic propaganda. www.tabletmag.com/sections/art...

Yeah, this is complete ahistorical nonsense (Ariel Sharon repeatedly told Bush not to invade Iraq, for example), and I can only assume that Kent already has appearances booked with Tucker, Megyn, Candace and the whole deranged conspiracy theory podcast network.

You can see, from here, a clear strategy for how the isolationist, Tucker Carlson wing of the MAGA movement is going to reconcile their support for Trump with their disdain for the Iran War, and it is going to lean hard into "The good czar was betrayed by his bad Jewish advisors."

And now comes the day where the left eagerly and aggressively defends a white nationalist that weaponizes antisemitism, including blaming Jews for past US actions that were entirely unrelated to us (other than to be hit by SCUD missiles).

I see we have moved from uncritically and eagerly quoting IRI state media to uncritically and eagerly quoting IR and IRGC officials.

“If what Iran’s foreign minister is says is accurate” is doing a metric fuckton of work in his post.

Because, for him, his antisemitism is a feature, not a bug.

I’m probably not going to post a lot because this platform is pretty awful for nuance, but it really is amazing seeing how many people eagerly and uncritically parrot IR state media on things like civilian casualties when the regime has a history like Flight PS752 and just massacred its own people.

The advent of AI is bad enough, but it requires a whole level of reorientation on social media for me. LLM - Large language model or Legal Letters Masters? AI - artificial intelligence or some guy in a Paul Simon song? Every. Damn. Time.

I think it’s really a bit much to say that 9/11 wouldn’t have happened had Gore been elected. Pursuing Al Queda and its danger was happening under Clinton and the failures of US intelligence were not at the political appointee level. Our *reaction* to Al Queda and pursuit of Bin Laden would

This is revolting. 'Tax the Jews' chants break out at event held by Jewish mayor of San Francisco www.jpost.com/diaspora/ant...

Seeing a lot of commentary about the USPS decision this week. So, I’m going to try a public service and explain what it is and isn’t about. The default is the government has sovereignty immunity and can’t be civilly sued for money damages. Under the Federal Torts Claims Act, Congress has limitedly

TMC with a move of counter programming genius.

There’s also a significant aspect of ethnoreligious and historical indigenousness in the face of multiple exiles and indigenous erasure.

I’m sure the replies to this thread will be a sober, fact based discussion that doesn’t involve *any* double standards, dehumanization, or demonization. 🫠

I mean…yeah. 🤷‍♂️ bsky.app/profile/bame...

The really amazing aspect of antisemitic rhetoric on this platform is that there only seems to be some general pushback to it when it moves from Soviet-style antisemitism/Zionophobic rhetoric to classical antisemitism rhetoric, as though that’s the point where the Judenhass becomes “too overt.”

“Here’s some antisemitic rhetoric against the Jewish state that I believe, but I fear it’s making people who agree with me antisemites” is quite the claim. Decoding antisemitism online Racist state/apartheid analogy link.springer.com/content/pdf/... Genocide link.springer.com/content/pdf/...

I am so sick of people who know nothing about Jews or Judaism making some “Judaism is a beautiful ancient religion” comment as an excuse to use the next breath to engage in antisemitic and Zionophobic rhetoric.

OMG!!!!😱

Why, other than chutzpah, when your Tarriffs are struck down, do you immediately announce a new 10% tarriff? Because Nixon. From the footnote in the Court’s opinion explaining why Kavanaugh was wrong about Nixon’s 10% global tarriff:

I realize that we are numbed by the sheer Idiocracy of this Presidency, but can we please take a minute to recognize that the President of the United States just accused the US Supreme Court of being controlled by foreign powers?

The men’s curling team is choking hard. Guess the playoffs aren’t happening.

The US Women curling team beats Canada and then has three straight steal by winless Italy. Yikes. 4-0 Italy in the 6th end. Crazy.

I think we know who won’t be getting the Pierre de Coubertin Medal this Olympics… 🥌
