Please remember you are likely to see even anti-war and anti-intervention Iranians celebrate Khamenei’s death (if confirmed) as he has been a source of death, tyranny, destruction, and has held Iran back.

Christians United for Israel has over 10 million members. As of 2020, the estimated population of Jews in the U.S. is 7.5 million. But, sure. Keep talking about AIPAC. It allows you to blame Jews for the world’s problems.

have a feeling that the fact that democrats seem to be genuinely coalescing around the party line that it doesn't matter how vile the target was, this war is illegal is really going to cast some light on who among us is incapable of holding two ideas in their head at once

*taps the sign*

I realize it isn’t the biggest crisis right now, but it is exhausting to simultaneously be accused by populists of right and left of being primarily loyal to a country where I deliberately choose not to live - even while the government of that country thinks I’m disloyal to my people.

Literally every country involved in this stupid war has a government I’d love to see removed from power, and for none of them is the right way to do it military action by the other two.

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

People wonder why I spend more time talking about how to move Democrats left and get them to step up to meet the moment instead of worrying about the Republicans, but this is basically why 👇 Republicans cannot be reasoned or negotiated with on any level whatsoever. They have to be actually STOPPED.

Almost certainly true, and another opportunity to remember that Netanyahu would willingly trade away the safety of every Jew on earth to save his own political career and avoid going to prison for his crimes.

If only the Union for Reform Judaism were willing to be half as critical of the Israeli government as the Israeli government is of Reform Jews.

Two categories of analysts who might take a step back, away from the microphone or keyboard, this weekend: —Those who assured us that Trump was the real anti-war candidate. —Those who assured us that invading Iraq was necessary and would work out great.

if the media had any integrity — and it doesn’t anymore — they’d be pointing out on a loop that Obama made a deal with Iran, Trump cancelled it because Obama is Black, and then Trump started a war on the pretense there is no deal

What "it's a distraction" people fundamentally need to understand about fascism is that fascism's entire mode of operation is diverting popular anger/anxiety/despair into channels of violence against the Other (both internal and external). It's not flailing, it's the whole strategy.

May Gd hear the cries of the bereaved, and may the murderers know no peace. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/...

Today would be as good a day as any to piss on John McCain’s grave, if you happen to be in the Annapolis area.

"We’ve been told to aim our reporting at a particular part of the political spectrum," producer Mary Walsh wrote.

This has nothing to do with opposition to the Israeli state's actions. In decades of work on related areas -- I have ONLY seen white supremacist Neo-Nazi actors use "goyim" like this. You can't fight the antisemitism label (or help Palestinians) by using genocidal, antisemitic Nazi language.

Here's your reminder that the Trump regime is still hiding FBI interviews with a woman who says she was sexually assaulted by Donald Trump when she was a minor. Trump hopes we forget about this. We won't.

This is a comeback in the sense that glass is a liquid.

FedEx said that it will return any tariff refund it might get to shippers and customers who paid them. on.nbcboston.com/Gn6UgdS

This. This is the question we should be asking when a group of bad actors in leftist spaces are identified. Not "are we sure they're leftists?" (I think it starts with taking the allegations seriously.)

I think all of this (including Bouie’s original thread) is important to note. Conservatives are uniquely, tragically bad at producing art. We can have a long conversation about why that is, but it is.

Something I've been thinking a lot about in TTRPG design and theory lately is what I'll call "New Hammer Syndrome". A system becomes popular, and an under-pinning concept becomes the new "hammer" that turns all of TTRPGs into a certain kind of nail.

The birthright citizenship IS an easy case. That’s the point. That’s the flex. “No matter what rights you think you have, no matter how universally acknowledged you think they are, no matter how central to American values those rights are, WE decide whether or not you have those rights”…… /1

QFT. Again, the people fluffing him online are overwhelmingly goyishe white men, mostly cishet.

You'll note that the 'You need to vote Labour to stop Reform!' guys aren't elated that Reform got trounced. They seem a little gutted, actually?

Check out this whole thread. Minneapolis and Saint Paul are still hurting. Folks are cautiously coming out of shelter, but need food to get them through until paychecks start up again or new jobs are found. ZCC is my mutual aid! Laura and I have been working together! Please share widely!

When Black people advocated against police brutality and overreach that included disability justice.

NYPD arrested a young man named Gusmane Coulibaly for throwing snowballs at them. Watch the language on how they frame this. "violently smashing snowballs." gtfoh And yes he's Black

So I wrote the thing. Trigger warning. Too many parallels to ignore.

Read Kim's excellent new article, but more importantly, you should give to this GFM. With the amount of $$$ that these women have brought to the state of Nevada, with the sheer amount of traffic they've worked through, they've only raised a little more than a third of their goal in 8 days. Misogyny!

It's not state-run media, guys. If it was state-run media it would switch to supporting Democrats when they were in power. It's right-wing media.

Begging my comrades in IL to stop this.

It's a common misconception that Germany was broken into two countries after WW2 to limit the power they'd grow to have if they remained together. That's not at all what happened. (1/)

Anyway the risk profile for Platner isn’t Fetterman, it’s Gabbard

BREAKING: Protests have erupted at Columbia University after the school says DHS agents detained a student after making "misrepresentations to gain entry" to building.

For those who still think Graham Platner's Nazi tattoo says nothing about his politics - here he is approvingly citing far-right conspiracist Stew Peters, who denied the Holocaust in 2024.

It was never about the dozen trans athletes out of millions. The conservative project always has been to erase trans people from public life, and if the opportunity presents itself, to exterminate them.

But there are only so many times you can accidentally get Nazi tattoos and accidentally promote high profile well-known white supremacist podcasters etc. etc. before people giving you the benefit of the doubt start to look incredibly gullible.

Maybe this was a total accident and the Platner campaign genuinely somehow had no idea who Stew Peters was and also decided to share his tweet without even taking 2 seconds to look at his most recent posts! Maybe they are totally innocent and people on Bluesky are being mean & unfair!

Now that people criticized the tweet, it has been deleted. I look forward to learning why Peters’ posts were showing up on his team’s radar & how they decided to share it. Presumably they will claim ignorance. I guess Platner is incredibly unlucky to keep accidentally stumbling into Nazi stuff.

It's that simple.
