FBI says teen was planning Islamic State-inspired hammer and knife attack on Jews, Christians and LGBTQ+ people

Last summer Tablet ran a deeply Islamophobic piece comparing the Perelman Arts Center to the Kaaba because it's cube shaped and near Ground Zero. This sort of thing isn't new for them

"When I look at Mamdani, I don’t see some radical departure. I see him an heir to the Yiddish socialism that helped build New York," writes @mollycrabapple.bsky.social.

All my jesters become my investors when I launch the anti-antisemitism crypto coin of success

Not sure how you can view this as anything but an explicit attempt to build an American SA

Eric Adams is going to use cryptocurrency to fight antisemitism. Eric Adams is going to use samurai swords to fight food waste. Eric Adams is going to use 100 rubber duckies to fight prostate cancer. I would believe literally any combo of words hellgatenyc.com/eric-adams-s...

How am I supposed to be a journalist that covers Holocaust memory AND promote my work on LinkedIn when the platform hates the keyword 'Holocaust'?? It's giving censorship /s

Good look at the Working Families Party, which recently swept the Jersey City mayoral and council races, winning every ward seat of the municipal government

this seems specifically designed to break mail-in voting (where deadlines are defined by postmark)

Now that the holidays are over I can share that I gifted my avid knitter wife a 'sponsorsheep' of one of the gay German sheep — Horny, who apparently is not the devil in disguise

This is one of the funniest things I've read all year, and it applies to more than just journalism

Pope Leo said in a Christmas Eve sermon that the story of Jesus being born in a stable because there was no room at an inn should remind Christians that refusing to help the poor and strangers today is tantamount to rejecting God himself. For @reuters.com

!! Here’s a link to full video of the 60 Minutes segment that Bari Weiss killed last minute, via @jasonparis.bsky.social: is.gd/paU8Ko (It was uploaded to the Global TV app in Canada, seemingly by accident, and has now been taken down)

UnitedHealth sued The Guardian after we reported on bonuses it paid nursing homes that cut hospital transfers for seniors. We kept reporting. Now we’re publishing this on allegations that delayed or denied transfers led to the deaths of nursing home residents: www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

I spoke to people who are standing up to ICE - from a real estate appraiser chasing ICE on his bike to a fetish shop owner distributing whistles and an undocumented social worker putting money in detainees’ commissary accounts

Very excited to see this announcement of the next EIC at my former shop @forward.com: forward.com/communicatio...

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.

Not enough Americans internalized the lessons of Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas and it shows

Ambivalent about the snow today, it seems.

Irvington, NJ also used its city's opioid settlement funds to throw a concert DJ'd by a city government official whose only job is just to be a DJ

Can't wait to read about what happened in these negotiations, but it seems clear that Steve Cohen absolutely does not give a fuck about the Mets anymore now that he's won his casino war

"Zine-makers and enthusiasts say that people are likely embracing the pen-and-paper medium again due to social media censorship, surveillance, doxing and the alleged suppression of certain topics on algorithms."

New: Pregnant immigrant women are showing up to deliver their babies w/ surveillance smart watches on their wrists as part of an ICE monitoring program. They’re too afraid of being detained to have the watch cut off even when it’s medically necessary. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

“Drop the arrogance, drop the exceptionalism.” One year after Trump’s re-election, the Guardian asked activists and opposition leaders from Hungary, El Salvador and Turkey what their experiences have taught them about authoritarianism – and what they wish they’d understood sooner.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

Nominating this for top 5 Guardian headlines of the season

It's become normal now for high-level political figures to argue that an entire generation was brainwashed through fake videos into mass anti-Israel political mobilization by TikTok. Complete conspiracy thinking, rooted in zero evidence, based on nothing

The 'I love Hitler' group chat boys of the New York Young Republican Club are inviting an AfD leader to come kiki to their gala: www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

“The alt-right label doesn’t make sense anymore because there is no longer any need to describe these views as an “alternative” to the mainstream right. Many are now the Republican Party’s stated positions.” www.vox.com/politics/470...

I am looking to speak with individuals about their affordability concerns/issues they're experiencing this holiday season and the impact on their families Please reach out to me at [email protected] www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021...

I spoke with @sbworkersunited.org @juliesulabor.bsky.social about their ongoing strike for a first contract at Starbucks and the four long years they've been fighting www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

aaaaaand the cat is out of the bag

Can someone who knows NJ political insiders really well do an analysis piece about what all of these Sherrill transition appointments signal? jerseyvindicator.org/2025/11/21/n...

Not only is the Trump-MBS relationship emboldening authoritarians to harm journalists with impunity, but it’s also significantly harming climate action by emboldening petrostates to sabotage global action against fossil fuels

Today @us.theguardian.com is launching the "Building Power" project, which will spotlight grassroots efforts to protect civil rights in the United States. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"Fuentes’s fixation with Israel is not rooted in concern about the war in Gaza but a belief, in his telling, that Jews are responsible for most of society’s problems." Must read piece in @us.theguardian.com today: www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

🔴 Scolding a U.S. reporter for asking questions about MBS ordering a fellow journalist to be bonesawed to death signals to dictators everywhere that they can murder journalists with impunity. Read our full statement below:

"In an extraordinary moment in front of the press, Trump criticised the murdered columnist, whom he said “many people didn’t like” and denied US intelligence agencies’ conclusion that his murder was orchestrated by the crown prince," writes the Guardian's global affairs correspondent Andrew Roth.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi. I hired and worked with Jamal for a year. www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Extremely relatable knitter husband image in Ken Burns’ American Revolution documentary

Is there some sort of pattern here? Help me, it's so hard to see.

I spoke to Mahmood Mamdani about his new book, his expulsion from Uganda, his son Zohran, and *that* NYT article.

If you're interested in the debate about whether Zohran Mamdani should keep Jessica Tisch as police commissioner — and in the future of policing in New York City — this @attackerman.bsky.social piece is very much worth a read. www.forever-wars.com/mamdanis-nyc...

If recent events have caused you to lose trust in The New York Times, might I suggest a subscription to @us.theguardian.com.

Wtf is up with this random bashing of New Jersey by Kathryn Ruemmler in the Epstein email trove that the House released yesterday?

Yeah

The spyware that is now in ICE's hands has been (by another government) against journalists and activists in Italy, as well as a top CEO, and a political consultant. Matteo Renzi, Italy's former prime minister, calls it the Italian Watergate. Now it's landed here: www.theguardian.com/technology/2...
