Just saw people arguing that the shooting in Sydney wasn’t antisemitic because Chabad is a Zionist movement, and killing Zionists is fine. Fucking ghouls. Get fucked.

The former head of the FDNY slammed a Queens judge for pitting the Fire Department against the safe streets movement in a ruling that erased a bike lane.

That canary is choking to death. We were going to share this denver post opinion piece but every time we say anything about antisemitism here (or anywhere for that matter) there's a 50% chance we get brigaded with...you guessed it. So, we initially decided against it, but fuck it here it is

The chabad rabbi killed at Bondi Beach

Say his name as many times as you can

I'm sharing this not for the Bondi Beach conspiracy theory but for "Israel has been exposed as Zionist." This is what I mean when I say anti-Zionists live in an epistemic bubble, one in which "Zionist" means something so indescribably evil rather than what Israel openly describes itself as.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I found this terribly sad. A young woman with her life ahead of her, and she becomes one of the last American victims of the Long War.

I agree with this, it’s a serious problem that both sides don’t distinguish between Israel proper and the West Bank. NBN helps people move to anywhere, which includes settlements (though ones that will likely end up in Israel.) The protestors likely believe ALL of Israel is “occupied.”

At night, to stop replaying torture sessions in her mind, Elizabeth Tsurkov recited whole chapters of her PhD that she wrote in her head in captivity. Like Deborah Amos, I was elated that Tsurkov not only survived, but that she remains herself—as fiercely intelligent as ever. A must-read:

Yet another surge of antisemitic attacks on Hillel — which for over a century has provided space & community for Jewish college students — in addition to another surge of antisemitic attacks on & protests of synagogues. Targeting Jewish students & places of worship is never ok.

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman. Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often. www.propublica.org/article/texa...

I saw a comment that said that many Jewish Israelis will leave Israel/Palestine if they lose Jewish supremacist privileges and I think this wildly misunderstands why Jews are there in the first place

Urbanism—the notion that cities are good, that we should build housing in the dense walkable neighborhoods where people want to live, and that urban governance should prioritize city residents’ quality of life over suburban drivers’ convenience—remains a radical political program in America.

In addition to being straight-up Nazi rhetoric, the "undocumented immigrants caused the housing crisis" lie seems designed to drive me, personally, insane.

The attorney general and the FBI director, a manosphere podcaster bro, pulled into the situation room a member of Congress best known for getting kicked out of a Beetlejuice musical for drunkenly giving her date a handy, in order to pressure her about the president's child sex trafficking scandal.

It's alarming to see the ADL announce a "tracker" of antisemitism aimed at Mamdani and the Conference of Presidents issue an extraordinary set of statements while not applying equal scrutiny to Trump - despite his long record of using antisemitism and bigotry for political gain.

New housing stops landlords from raising rents—take it from the CEO of AvalonBay, one of NYC's largest landlords: "We're well-positioned… we face significantly less new supply. Land entitled for multifamily is hard to come by, the amount of time it takes to get those entitlements… sets us up well.”

Take it from trusted NYC leaders @bradlander.bsky.social @marklevinenyc.bsky.social @drichardsqns.bsky.social Antonio Reynoso: Vote YES on Affordable Housing Ballot props 2-5!

“Why won’t more liberals endorse our candidates when they are the nominee?” -the DSA “Liberals are our enemy” -also the DSA These people are so unserious. [reposting to include the screenshot]

So all living Israeli hostages have come home. A huge emotional weight off our shoulders. We can no longer postpone the next steps. Many of us, perhaps even most of us, are going to stay on the streets for our remaining and ongoing struggles: ⬇️

It’s deeply encouraging to see footage of hostages reuniting with their families and to see Israeli forces withdrawing from Gaza. There are obviously many more steps to achieving a lasting peace but today’s developments should give us all a profound sense of hope.

Difficult to overstate how jubilant the Israeli populace is. Dozens of thousands in the streets watching live the return of the hostages.

Man it really sucks that people heard “Jews and Israelis aren’t synonymous” and interpreted that to mean “you can be as antisemitic as you want if you just say Israeli instead of Jewish”

the joke here is: "the eternal degenerate Jew has no culture to call his own, he is but a parasite, what he has he steals and degenerates" leftists sharing it are sharing nazi content. fuck you all strasserist fucks

Also, it’s such a sick joke that ICE is here to keep us safe. This was a video of a perfectly safe day in the city - couldn’t feel safer - until a bunch of armed thugs run out of nowhere to start a fight and kidnap random pedestrians, which is one of the most terrifying things I can imagine

She has a point. And if she were president, not only would students like Rumeysa Ozturk & Mahmoud Khalil have stayed free, but Netanyahu would not be on the brink of formally annexing part of the West Bank. Things are never so bad they can’t get worse. And we’re living “worse.”

Multiple things can be true: Political violence is toxic & Charlie Kirk’s assassination must be condemned. Kirk was exceptionally talented & helped build a movement. That movement brainwashed many young men with bigoted, violent poison. Condemn his murder, but do not lionize him.

Losing my goddamned mind. We can condemn political violence without valorizing a destructive, hateful bigot.

We must stand resolutely against political assassination and political violence of all kinds, and just as resolutely against everyone who exploits acts of violence as the pretext or excuse for political repression of political opponents.

Very, very bad stuff coming from leading right-wingers

If you think this is good for anyone, you're a fucking idiot and you should have more people in your life who love you enough to tell you you're a fucking idiot. This is bad for everyone. All of us. Only more suffering will come from this.

Sigh… All folks had to do was vote for the pantsuit lady in 2016 and the super qualified Black Lady with a degree in economics in 2024. It was not a messaging problem. It was too many voters thinking it wouldn’t effect them problem. 2024 was the easiest choice 🤷🏾‍♀️ www.nytimes.com/2025/09/08/u...

To put it in American, there‘s 2 billion parking spots in this country but only 300 million cars, so obviously when “theres no parking at Trader Joe’s in LA during Saturday afternoon” the solution is to just park your car at a Walmart in Nevada

Homeless people are not the only people who need homes. There are tens of millions of people who would like to move out of their parents’ houses, ditch their roommates, or leave a bad home situation but can’t because our housing shortage makes rent too expensive.

“The fact that a concept as tepid as ‘Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ caused our nation’s racists to become so enraged that the backlash to it threatens to end the American democratic experiment once and for all has made me reassess the virtues of the term.”

the reason this discourse will never end is because it is completely untethered from any kind of evidentiary standard. as long as there is a 19-year-old barista somewhere saying “cultural appropriation,” guys like nichols will complain that “democrats” use alienating language.

the government is trying to disappear a man who can testify to torture committed at the direction and payment of the government

Good thread and I think makes clear the only plausible reading of this doc is not “language dem candidates shouldn’t use” it’s “language dem candidates should publicly yell at their base for (hypothetically?) using so they look cool to imagined centrist voters and savvy politicos”

This guy's a vet and a lawyer who threw a sandwich and offered to turn himself in, so they sent a paramilitary platoon with a camera crew. They have FBI and U.S. Marshal badges; apparently those agencies do no real work beyond camera stunts, harassing minorities, and filling concentration camps.

This is unconscionable. And illegal.

More than this? Whether or not Jews had “a right” to a state? Israel EXISTS! It is home to millions of Jews. Half of the entire Jewish global population. The VAST majority of these Jews came to 🇮🇱 to flee persecution elsewhere. Zionism is akin to Patriotism.There are MANY political views within it

Because this project will be fully grade separated, it should be built as automated light metro (e.g., Toulouse Metro, Milan M5, Honolulu Skytrain). This can enable: —More reliable & often faster service —More frequent service —Shorter platforms (& thus cheaper-to-build stations)

Building *slows* gentrification; and *not* building makes it much worse: "The findings suggest that not allowing more homes to be built—even for high-income residents—pushes up all rents, making it harder for low-income tenants to remain in their neighborhoods." -- www.pew.org/en/research-...

Humanitarian aid must flow. The hostages must be released. The war must end. Hamas must no longer run Gaza. Israel needs a new government dedicated to peace. A Palestinian state must be created, side by side with Israel. Peace & human dignity are the only answers.

"Wesley LePatner, a senior executive at Blackstone who was among those killed in the shooting on Monday, was a mentor to women in her workplace and her synagogue, according to friends, who praised her skills in balancing work, community and family." www.nytimes.com/2025/07/29/n...

A man legally purchased a weapon of war in another state on the other side of the country. Then he drove to our city to murder innocent people mere blocks from where I was. The good guy with a gun — a trained police officer, a father of two with a third on the way — was the first to be murdered.

The big news yesterday was the out-of-town gunman driving to the city with his Nevada-licensed assault weapon to kill four people, plus himself, inside a skyscraper. buff.ly/dj3pg2G

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.” Better for the climate, better for health, better for livability & quality of life. Common sense. Such a no-brainer, it’s remarkable that more cities HAVEN’T done the same.
