“Just a kid from Brooklyn”
Nixon gave us the Madman Strategy. Trump gave us the Mad Manchild Strategy. Think of it as the diplomatic equivalent of a toddler throwing a tantrum in the grocery store aisle: everyone sees the crazy, but it just earns eye-rolls and zero concessions.

Disgusting. The Monthly Review—a socialist journal that is widely read in academic left circles—has published an 8,000-word essay denying the Uyghur genocide in China.

Netanyahu is in big trouble. Israeli opposition lawmakers sharply criticized the government's decision to agree to a two-week cease-fire with Iran. Opposition leader Yair Lapid said, "There has never been such a diplomatic disaster in our history."

It's surreal to see Mehdi Hasan expressing outrage over Trump's incendiary threats to wipe out Iran, when just yesterday Mehdi was arguing that Israel doesn't have a right to exist.

A data visualization specialist compiled all of NASA’s Artemis feeds into a single mission-control-style dashboard (including the status of the onboard toilet 🤷♂️) Anyway, it’s quite spectacular and worth checking out if you want to keep track of the entire mission in real time.

Bad news: The wider public has learned one of our most coveted secrets. Coca-Cola with yellow caps are Kosher for Passover because they use real sugar instead of corn syrup. As such, this year, it’s harder than ever to find pesadich Coke on supermarket shelves.

Why this kosher-for-Passover Coke with the yellow cap is going viral — MarketWatch
The limited-time Coca-Cola product is made with cane sugar rather than high-fructose corn syrup. Some people can’t get enough.

The Sarajevo Haggadah is one of the oldest and most beautiful illuminated Jewish manuscripts in the world, created in Barcelona around 1350. It escaped the Spanish Inquisition, and survived WW II and the Bosnia War. I saw it in person, 40 years ago, while studying abroad in Yugoslavia.

The Trump administration presents its foreign policy as realist. But as
@profpaulpoast.bsky.social
writes, combining that with Hegseth’s Christian militarism is not Christian realism—it’s something far more dangerous.

Hegseth’s Christian Militarism Is Dangerous for America
Hegseth’s efforts to undertake a modern-day crusade are part of the Trump administration’s broader embrace of gratuitous violence.

Amid all the shouting over Piker’s views on the Middle East, virtually nobody seems to notice that he’s a shill for China, which is helping to finance genocide in Sudan while also committing genocide against Uyghur Muslims. This ideologically driven hierarchy of human rights activism is a disgrace

In response to a generic “Happy Passover” post, it’s just a sea of “Christ is King” comments, comments about Israel, memes about Chasidic Jews & memes about Netanyahu controlling the Instagram account.

For those new to the concept of human rights, launching missiles at cities without any clear effort to target military structures is a war crime. It’s true if Israel does it, if Iran does it, anyone. (1/8)
