The American left needs to wake up to the rising antisemitism on its own side through turning Israel into a litmus test. Failure to do so will lead to drastic ramifications. ==> As Israel becomes Democratic litmus test, Jewish progressives warn about a tilt into antisemitism

Said user is blocking me. I would like to know how liberal Jews, liberal Zionists, and those of us who are center-left are right-wingers. Because last I checked, I'm left of center. There's a reason why I don't feel safe or welcome in left-wing trans spaces. They don't share my values.

The case is a procedural case about whether one has to exhaust the permit process and be denied before they can sue. This guy wanted to turn his home into a shul because he moved a mile from the nearest shul. ==> He was barred from hosting a home minyan. Now the Supreme Court will hear his case.

Pennsylvania man arrested for alleged antisemitic threats against Gov. Josh Shapiro

Based in part on Conquering Gotham: Building Penn Station and Its Tunnels by Jill Jonnes, The Rise and Fall of Penn Station tells the story of the original Pennsylvania Station.

Shimon Blau did the impossible in less than a week and now it's just a question of whether he got the minimum amount of valid signatures needed to qualify as an independent candidate for Colorado's first congressional district.

Egypt has now joined Turkey in blocking an LGBTQ cruise from docking. I've said it before and I'll say it again, anyone who thinks they can wipe Israel off the map and replace it with a secular Palestine is just deluding themselves. There wouldn't be any LGBTQ rights nor would it be secular.

The Invite, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, is an English-language remake of 2020 Spanish comedy The People Upstairs.

Something I learned today is that America's time zones were established because of railroads.

"Less than 24 hours until the draft coming up on Saturday." Umm, today is Thursday.

As far as I can tell from Googling the only reasons someone might connect this poll to AIPAC are - The firm conducted the poll, Tavern Research, has four publicly identified owners & one of them has an obviously Jewish name - Tavern's sole investor is Bloomberg Beta, founded by Michael Bloomberg

Before Grand Central Terminal became an iconic landmark, the site was home to the earlier Grand Central Station, built by railroad tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt.

The film makes no mention of the Populist Party's antisemitism. the antisemitic undertones in William Jennings Bryan's 1896 convention speech, or the Populist Party base being absorbed into the Bryan wing of the Democratic Party when the Populists folded up shop in 1909.

The destruction of Israel as a sovereign state is not an acceptable political position, it marks you as a rube, whether that means you're KKK or a "populist" "socialist" ie a fucking Nazi

No Nazi scum should ever be allowed to hold office in America, but especially not on the Democratic side, and it was really depressing to me that so many people were okay with letting it happen. I'm still in shock that we had the good fortune to be saved from ourselves before it got too far.

I highly recommend the Chicago Architecture Center tour of Union Station.

I don't even know what to say www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/u...

Hello! If you are cheering for people to die, there is something wrong with you. It doesn't matter what party you belong to or what God you pray to - it is sick to hope someone dies. If someone harms you personally, fight back, but this cheering for the death of others is pure evil.

Inching closer to 100 pages into American Patriarch. Reading at a quick pace so far.

Never go full antisemitic in your speech suspending your campaign.

I didn't have a 20 minute conversation with Mitch McConnell and I'm feeling like chopped liver.

My statement on Graham Platner ending his campaign:

Ten years feels awfully soon to adapt the animated Moana into a live-action film, but sure enough, the result is a beat-by-beat carbon copy of the original.

The world premiere exhibition, Star Wars: The Experience, an epic journey through the legacy of Star Wars, will open at The Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on February 13, 2027, as part of the Star Wars 50th anniversary celebration.

If you live in Colorado's first congressional district, a candidate looking to run as an independent for Congress needs your help. He still needs about 1000 signatures and needs to do so by the Thursday deadline.

The Gilded Age remains one of the most consequential periods in American history, reshaping the nation’s economy, politics, and society in ways that continue to resonate today.

I was today years old when I learned that Aaron Burr started up The Manhattan Company that later merged with Chase National Bank.

I signed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States when nobody was looking.

Sorry but I’m taking this as barely a step above Holocaust denial when he has no smoke for places like say Pakistan or Afghanistan. I believe Israel has a right to exist. I believe in a 2-state solution & throwing Bibi in a prison cell. jewishinsider.com/2026/07/abdu...

I've officially started reading American Patriarch: The Life of George Washington by H.W. Brands.

Dinosaur Wars explores the epic late 19th century battle waged over dinosaur fossils by rival paleontologists Edward Cope and O.C. Marsh in the American West.

Let it be said that this most recent sexual assault disclosure is what led to endorsements being rescinded by many people and organizations. They were fine with the Nazi tattoo and derogatory slurs. They were fine with accusing Israel of controlling politicians. Where was the moral compass then?

Too bad it's just a social media post about a phone call and not an in-person visit with photos or video ==> Prominent Republicans say they spoke to Mitch McConnell Tuesday, Day 24 of his hospitalization

BRB, on the phone with FIFA.

Just as a reminder, I wrote this in early June.

Dinosaur Wars explores the epic late 19th century battle waged over dinosaur fossils by rival paleontologists Edward Cope and O.C. Marsh in the American West.

Just finished reading American Maccabee: Theodore Roosevelt and the Jews. Will start on my next book later on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Because of course. They aren't refugees. They're racists.

I will never cover anything adapted from a Stephen King title ever again. He has no moral compass.

The Odyssey: the first reactions are from junket press and those who attended the world premiere. The rest of us haven't even had a chance to see it.

Fuck you.

It's not every day that you get to take a selfie with a two century old copy of the Declaration of Independence. Do you think they'll let me examine the back to see if there's a map?

Rather than simply recounting the familiar story of prospectors chasing fortune, The Gold Rush examines how the discovery of gold reshaped California and, ultimately, the United States.

DMFI and J Street are NOT AIPAC. Please stop being antisemitic assholes.

This bizarre fixation on AIPAC is really, really weird. (I know why I am going to point out that it is strange. WHO obsesses like this? 🙃)
