Ngl it's kind of funny realizing I have a measurable (and significant) effect on my employer's stock price and getting to watch them realize it too live

If American Jewish orgs want to maintain that it is antisemitic to accuse American Jews of being more loyal to the state of Israel than to the US - and I think they should want that - then they need to denounce Avigdor Lieberman for telling American Jews that Israel is "where they belong."

I keep saying the antidote to Zionism is a diaspora that is safe for Jews. Anti-Zionists who fail to fight Antisemitism are the best allies people like Lieberman could hope for.

right, like, people keep saying “they don’t intend to have to win elections”, which would be news to donald trump, who seems pretty fucking panicked that they can’t win elections

Who is that woman? Gather my children, to hear of Niuta Teitelbaum “she is reputed to have killed two Gestapo agents and wounded a third. When the third agent was taken to the hospital, Niuta disguised herself as a doctor, snuck into the agent’s room, and shot the third agent, and his guard dead.“

Historian David Wyman estimates that approximately 200,000 fewer Jews would have been murdered in the Holocaust if the US had not passed the Immigration Act of 1924. That is what JD Vance is out there defending right now.

Most important thing about Islamaphobic smears is they’re Islamaphobic smears, and Cuomo and backers push them. But also, like a pebble in my shoe— Al Qaeda and ISIS are fundamentalist Sunni! Mamdani is relatively secular Shia and standing for election in America! Jihadists would readily kill him.

Please check all that apply

so voting matters, huh

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer. Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss. 'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

Holy shit dick Cheney finally stopped haunting the halls and died

People like to say “propaganda works,” but I think that’s not right. It’s not propaganda that convinces people, which is why progressive efforts to do propaganda always flop. It’s people’s sense of what the broader social consensus is. People migrate to ideas they perceive as smart and popular.

I really wish we could make the necessary and important point about how much hateful Islamophobia is being directed at Mamdani without saying, "Actors could never get away with saying it about the Jews!" Because, you know, Mel Gibson still gets plenty of work.

$5M in Shein stock is crazy. to put it in perspective, a child would have to work three billion hours in a Shein factory to earn a 1/10000th of this

New York City, like any place, is not perfect, but it is the only place on earth where I've ever been wished "Shanah Tovah" in a Yemeni bodega. Please don't let this guy ruin that. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/01/n...

"GE Appliances" is a subsidiary of Haier. Y'all's washing machines are not made by the same corporate entity that makes airplane engines. Even the airplane-mounted gas turbines aren't made by the same corporate entity that makes gas turbines for electrical grid power generation

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy - they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”

From a veteran and the president of the oldest synagogue in Maine: "Graham Platner lacks judgment and integrity needed in a Senate candidate" #mepolitics www.bangordailynews.com/2025/10/31/o...

"Jews didn't throw a big enough shitfit against right wingers and now the antisemitism is everywhere!" No guys, Jews are a marginalized population who have often been forced to make transactional decisions about what to prioritize, it was on YOU to marginalize antisemitism. Did you?

graham platner candidate suitability panel interview footage leaked

A town in Poland organized an event to celebrate the Polish Jewish composer Louis Lewandowski. They had to cancel the event after a Polish member of the European Parliament organized a harassment campaign, calling to "stop the Judaisation of Poland." notesfrompoland.com/2025/10/24/p...

Yes, this is nightmarish. Yes, the fact that these parents did nothing but a misdemeanor, and have no recourse makes it egregious. But I did a study a decade ago that found that a fifth of kids had a parent incarcerated at some point. The horror is not new, just expanding.

I actually do think we should have a litmus test that having ever had Nazi iconography on your body is instantly disqualifying for public office. I'm not saying you cannot possibly atone for that, apologize, make teshuvah, and live a good life, but I don't want to vote for you for public office.

shocking to me is how many supposedly brilliant pundits when surrounded by people going "come on, be cool, this guy's cool, yeah he keeps saying the holocaust was good, black people are subhuman, but you're not going to get weird and crazy about it, are you?" just got "right right, I'll be cool"

Phew managed to make it another day without getting a nazi tattoo. It’s hard out here. Just nazi tattoos roaming the streets attaching themselves to people. Stay woke

I shouldn’t have to have someone interpret tattoos on a half naked white man sitting for an interview before we all agree this is absolutely absurd and we all need to just move on from this guy. You cannot expect Black or Jewish people to put with this fucking ridiculous nonsense. Come on now

He covered up the SS tattoo with a tattoo of Fenrir? Seriously?

In light of the growing normalization of people with overt Nazi iconography and pasts in the US, I am thinking of Susan Sontag's classic essay about how Leni Riefenstahl was gradually re-embraced by the postwar film world. www.nybooks.com/articles/197...

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time. All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner." It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

In light of everything today, don't think you should be defending Platner about anything, much less mentioning him in the same sentence as Mamdani.

"The ACA isn't a perfect law but it did a bunch of important things we can't replicate other ways" is a true statement but "Suck it ACA-heads your bill sucks" ain't it, y'know?

I agree the ACA is a work unfinshed in many key ways but a lot of that is that it was assumed that Republicans wouldn't waste a generation's worth of time resisting it or any equivalent plan to cover all of the people the ACA covers, and that there would be opportunities to update the bill

I'm against complicated sterilization procedures like Pasteurization. I think milk can be made safe using natural methods, like just applying a gentle heat of 161 F for 15 seconds or so. Then just cool it off and you're golden. Why doesn't big dairy want us talking about this??

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Harvard, MIT, Stanford and other schools earned robust returns last year, though battles with the Trump administration are keeping universities on edge.

"Are numbers real" a live debate
