On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

That machine kills fascists.

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

Nothing is wrong in this post I would only also add a significant part of the pseudoscience was directly created to absolve white men of sex crimes "It's not his fault, he has an addiction!" Said by the same people who think you can beat heterosexuality and good manners into children

This is true. Porn addition is not a real thing any more than video game addiction or shopping addiction. Theres no serious support for it in the literature it's just a political decision to marshal the moral stigma around drug addiction to further specific moral goals.

"This person who looks white cannot be in any way Middle Eastern by virtue of looking white" is the most tired talking point out there. Every Middle Eastern culture and society - Muslim, Christian, and Jewish - has a segment of the population who could pass as white in the US. Every single one.

Ironically, I have heard “This person is too blonde/red-headed to be authentically Middle Eastern” deployed against both Palestinians and Mizrahi Jews. Which just points to how stupid it all is in societies with tremendous phenotypic diversity.

And here are some Arab-Americans in Congress … almost like these are complex ethnic identities that don’t map easily onto race!

In honor of The Discourse, I have cooked up a pot of Mujadra using Claudia Roden’s recipe in The Book of Jewish Food.

Say it again for the cheap seats.

I broadly agree, but also think this is too generous to the leftists sharing the meme in question. They aren’t resharing a Nazi meme about Jews stealing food cultures because they’re being tricked; they’re sharing because a segment of the left agrees Jews are parasites without culture of their own.

It's fascinating how antisemites are some of the most Ashkinormative people out there. I swear some of these fucks are positive Moses came down from Sinai wearing a streiml and looking forward to fruit blintzes and flanken in the pot.

nefariously stole hummus, pita, fattoush etc. from their Arab neighbors. Every other Eastern Mediterranean people has a version of some widely enjoyed dish (see: doner vs. shawarma vs. gyro) but apparently when it's Jews, that makes their version stolen rather than shared.

We could have a serious discussion about how reactionaries in Israel are leading a concerted effort to erase Arab contributions to Israeli food and culture (e.g. trying to rebrand Jerusalem salad/salat aravi as "Israeli salad") but instead people go all in on the conspiracy bullshit that Mizrahim

Every democrat should be talking like this. Not the feckless mueller time version of this that we’ve had for years, but actual promises of actual consequences As long as it goes unpunished we’ll never be free of this

Niche content but excited I just learned AJ Dillon is a Jew of Color. I already love JOCs but that he is also an Eagle.... #flyeaglesfly www.jewishboston.com/read/matzah-...

I'm going to reiterate people call Israeli culture at large and cuisine in particular appropriation because they don't want Israeli culture to exist and their project is the genocidal act of unmaking it.

Post they’re quoting is blocked for me, but I see that the internet is doing the ancient Jew-hate trope of “unlike anyone else who lives in a place, when Jews live in a place and make the same food as everyone else, they’re STEALING!!!”

It constantly amazes me how many people took “criticism of Zionism isn’t inherently antisemitic” to mean “it’s ok as long as you say ‘Zionist’ instead of ‘Jew’ ”

I wish I could say I was shocked: Israel is signaling out, and treating more harshly, all the Jewish/Israeli participants of flotillas. If any other government targeted Jews differently, we would rightly call them antisemitic 😠 Update: she has now been released. Still ^ @heliof.bsky.social on IG:

In honour of spooky month, share a 4 word horror story that only someone in your profession would understand. "New Windows upgrade released"

Gonna need Christians to face the fact their deicide accusation is still causing real, actual violence to Jews in 2025

And in the case of the Minnesota murders, the inversion of reality couldn’t be more stark: The killer was a classic far-right domestic terrorist who was directly inspired by Donald Trump. www.npr.org/2025/06/16/n...

“Can you explain this gap in your resume?” Me thinking quickly on my feet to explain the period when I worked for ICE: “I was selling drugs… ,uh, to children.”

No jury is convicting this guy.

Here's one, @legendofphotos.bsky.social. Just popped out of nowhere to preach non-religion at Dr. Prescod-Weinstein.

🧵 regarding the shutdown: The Democrats aren’t being clear enough about this but we can be: this shutdown is about saving lives. If we don’t reverse the Medicaid cuts (and the ACA subsidies on insurance bought through the exchanges) that Republicans made this year, people will die.

every single dem should be taking notes. this is how you message around trans issues (of note: i believe he is the only cis candidate for office to have trans people consult on his lgtbq+ policy platform)

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

They’re actively working to resegregate housing, and our “allies” refuse to name racism while they’re doing so...

My endocrinologist explained my blood sugar jumps 30 points before I've eaten breakfast because of a cortisol reaction because waking up & getting out of bed is stressful. I've never felt so seen.

I'm so proud of everyone from my old neighborhood of Rogers Park in Chicago. I see what you have been and are doing. I am so proud of how organized the community is and how much more so everyone is becoming. It is inspiring. Just one example... And this is something EVERYONE can do. Everyone.

I don't think for me it is so much "criticism" as "if you were a comic I still listened to before you went this thing, that's not what you are anymore, so long and thanks but no thanks." There are plenty of other funny people out there to listen to. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Huh: TikTok took down my 8-second video featuring this image of Debbie Brockman — the news producer just detained by Trump’s CBP agents — saying it violates the “joy of TikTok”

Now with #AltText

The Virginia Senate just told UVA it’s not getting state funding if it accepts the compact since UVA exists to serve Virginia, its residents, & their interests—not be a tool of the federal govt.

Starting to wonder if any of these pisspots aren't babyrapers.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do. In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap. Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption. My full statement:

With SCOTUS set to legalize conversion therapy, I think it's important for states to get around this decision by implementing new legislation applying private rights of action to practitioners of conversion therapy by their victims with large damages and long statutes of limitations.

Dig a landlord used ICE to clean out a Black building and nobody but one paper covered it and none of the “Allie’s” are making those folks lives hell Yall play if you want to But when I say we have no real open people first strategy? THIS WHY I THINK THAT

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

It is very important to make as legible as possible as often as possible that various administration administration officials are either straight-up delusional or lying through their teeth, every single day
