Have you learned nothing?

Don’t miss the forest for the trees. Yes the premise is stupid. The important thing is that this admin is trying to criminalize civil society. It was a clear goal before they even took office. It’s what they did in Russia. The SPLC is, for historical and contemporary reasons, a prime target.

Hopefully they don’t change

This meme is the whole Torah; the rest is commentary. bsky.app/profile/i-ro...

If I may expand on this a little, I think it's important to remind people every time they hear the euphemism "school choice," it means the creation of segregated white (often religious) private schools funded through the destruction of public schools. No exaggeration; it's the vouchers origin story.

Do you feel like you have a voice in the policies of a health insurance company? Of a supermarket? Public schools are the only way to guarantee parents have a say in their kids’ education beyond enrollment. Public school boards have elections and accountability.

The U.S. fucking blew up school with over 150 kids in it. Instead of reinforcing the idea that most Americans won’t care because the victims weren’t white Christians, how about opposition leaders who show some appropriate outrage over this crime against humanity?

And this one last night at a synagogue in London

glove slap, baby glove slap

First & foremost, @lindseyboylan.bsky.social is more than deserving of this endorsement. Second & just as important, fuck this headline. Lindsey didn’t accuse Cuomo of harassment. Cuomo harassed Lindsey. Period. She is not an accusor. She is a survivor-advocate. Show some respect. Report the truth.

The strait of Hormuz was open: the straight of Hormuz had always been open.

Yikes. She has a name and it’s Ofsteve.

The absurd use of euphemisms has led some to challenge traditional conceptions of what the fuck we’re doing here.

I wonder how long the markets can keep pretending not to see that the president and his associates are doing rug pulls with a treadmill.

All of his businesses and property should be nationalized and dissolved and he should be stripped of literally every single asset and dollar. Put him in public housing and let him live off of whatever UBI the next Congress passes.

It’s borderline impossible to amend the U.S. Constitution at this point (absent catastrophe before or after) and that seems really bad.

Such BS 1. Overstating AI/robotics impact to pump stocks/IPOs. 2. Silicon Valley business model is making other people bear what used to be your costs. See, e.g., DoorDash and “No tax on tips.” 3. Promising you’ll get money for losing your job, then refusing to pay is a classic Musk tactic.

My thing with Graham Platner isn’t even about Graham Platner. His ascent signals that certain stuff that would have been disqualifying for a Dem candidate a few years ago is now okay again. We used to have a zero-tolerance policy towards guys w/Nazi tattoos. I thought that was a good thing.

this image haunts me, usually with the question of "how many of them were later murdered by those who had done far less for their country?" it was taken in 1924-04-20, and depicts Jewish soldiers of the Lithuanian Army, alongside the girls who just prepared their seder.

Another thing to call out here. We're still in Every Accusation is a Confession territory. Vought dismisses Harvard's stat and claims they're biased because they'd benefit from "federal largesse." Vought thinks universities mislead the public and fake data because that's what he does.

Her exact words were “fuck his ass” #DoctorJesus

“Fresh concerns” is not just a euphemism here, it’s wrong. A concern is apprehension about something uncertain. There is nobody concerned here, because there is nothing uncertain about it. It’s indisputably illegal and unethical as it has been all along; people either care or they don’t.

the idea that taxing billionaires will give us a bright new socialist future is nonsense, the reason to have a tax code that treats them with maximal hostility is because their wealth is a threat to democracy and stability

NYers, this is the chance to kick out failson Tom Suozzi and all his anti-trans, “oops I voted for ice,” bs.

He's a nazi.

This also raises new concerns among Democrats about Joe Biden’s fitness for office.

Seems like this will definitely raise some new questions about Joe Biden’s mental fitness.

What @joshkovensky.bsky.social is writing about here is also what the state trying to cut Islamic schools out of the new voucher system last month was partly about—and why Abbott himself doubled down on it until the lawsuits came 1/2

this is what the school privatization movement wants. instead of public schools serving as a benefit to communities, a pipeline from taxpayers to misuse.

Phenomenal work by Joe Dana at 12 News KPNX Arizona in thoroughly investigating and dismantling a report by pro-voucher group EdChoice about Arizona’s disastrous school voucher program. Extra kudos for presenting it without cagey euphemisms.

A perfect illustration of the idea that proximity to power is not the same as having power. This guy is going to The Hague one day, make no mistake.

There was another attempted arson at a synagogue. This was in the UK. Two people threw molotov cocktails at the building, though fortunately they failed to explode.

I’ll never not find it jarring that Katie Miller is perhaps the most Serena Joy of all the MAGA women. This is undisguised Nazi/White Nationalist antifeminism! and it’s coming from someone who presents as (and is) very Ashkenazi.

Every time a useful idiot rewrites the history of the Soviet Union, the communist spirit lives on!

<ghostly Stalin> What was destroyed? Emblems? Archives of our crimes? So what? The USSR is not material! Every time you defend a rape victim-blaming rich guy with a Nazi tattoos because he hates on billionaires… Every time you say the crusades were a mossad false flag… the Soviet spirit lives on!

Quick aside: Do not believe a single billionaire who says they support universal basic income. For example, Elon Musk, who often talks about AI driving a need for UBI, has done this bait-and-switch many times. He offers employees buyouts and severance, then fires them and refuses to pay.

Yeah, Mackenzie Scott is a fascinating case. She is literally ignoring the SOPs of philanthropy in order to give away wealth as quickly and efficiently as possible and she’s still getting richer. At her level it is impossible not to make money. Tax billionaires, A LOT.

just saw that ai video of groundhogs getting nails trimmed and reminds me that although i love living in California I hate that this place has the ai companies but no actual groundhogs.

kinda funny how Republican voters are inarguably happier when a Dem is president. they don’t actually want to be in charge of shit, they want to roll coal and whip themselves into a frenzy over wholly imaginary liberal tyranny. now they’ve caught the car and it fuckin sucks

Most of the people in my extended family who were murdered in the Holocaust were not killed in concentration camps. They were forced to wait in line, usually undressed, for their turn to be shot standing over pits dug the day prior outside of the towns and cities where they lived.
