Our @jewishnews.bsky.social front page this week:

it's so funny how north sea oil has become such a meme for the online right. it doesn't matter either way, we already used it all! we spent it on tax cuts in the 80s.

a gentle reminder that the UK's healthcare spending per capita is at the OECD average, and pensions as % of GDP are well below it

@tyron.bsky.social tyron I thought you would like this cover of a pro social democratic song www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSDv...

“…in the end, I think we have to approach human rights issues with certain principles. We have to say something is right, and we stick by what is right” www.politicshome.com/news/article...

@danwaterfield.bsky.social @cjterry.bsky.social @nutedawn.bsky.social @cjterry.bsky.social @jayzedbee.bsky.social dan is homer simpson in this meme

depends what liberal congregations. some are still very judgemental about this issue

@cjterry.bsky.social @danwaterfield.bsky.social @deargodwhatnow.bsky.social @lines.ink @nutedawn.bsky.social

Jewish leadership in the diaspora, as well as wider society, should do more to confront the antisemitism rapidly escalating

I did appreciate the Russian doll with Orbán on the outside and Putin inside at the Tisza party 😀

@nutedawn.bsky.social @deargodwhatnow.bsky.social @cjterry.bsky.social nute: must defeat socialism the people of new york: free childcare! lower rents! free buses!

But this time also the Supreme Leader hardened his heart and would not open the Strait.

@lawrencemckay.bsky.social want to help me make this map for the UK?

@nwylabour.bsky.social @cjterry.bsky.social @nutedawn.bsky.social do you agree that the major policy consensus from 1997 onwards has been driving too much equality across the realm which has hurt aspiration and distorted the labour market

This is basically the rahm emanuel theory of 2028

@isaacgantwerkmayer.bsky.social I had a question do you identify as reform / orthodox / masorti (or something else) and what draws you to this denomination / position?

@danwaterfield.bsky.social @deargodwhatnow.bsky.social @cjterry.bsky.social @nutedawn.bsky.social @abradacabla.bsky.social "stats for lefties"

@lines.ink you like Mamdani so you might like this meme

@nutedawn.bsky.social @abradacabla.bsky.social nute's life story

@nutedawn.bsky.social @cjterry.bsky.social @danwaterfield.bsky.social nute you are a catholic. are you in favour or against moral relativism and the cultural decline that has followed?

No party of the right in the UK has an offer for people under 45 so the younger bits of the onlime right now spend most of their time trying to get stuff taken away from various groups to assuage their status anxiety

IG is one of the biggest vectors of antisemitism The image on the left is an ai generated, purporting to show a man cutting down a tree in Central Park saying ‘god promised me this tree 4k years ago’. The entire page (called @rabbishimon) is just ai videos designed to confirm antisemitic priors.

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising fighters sought battle with Nazi soldiers to die gallantly with weapons in hand if their deaths were already assured. Hamas outright said they wanted GAZAN CIVILIANS to die for their political goals, and fled from any open confrontation with the IDF. Like cowards.

@deargodwhatnow.bsky.social @nutedawn.bsky.social @cjterry.bsky.social @danwaterfield.bsky.social @abradacabla.bsky.social eric adams (who dan and nute formally endorsed in the mayoral election) is now albanian

@alonlevy.bsky.social Alon I can't reply to you but do you mean the Democrats? Also my family are involved in Standing Together do you feel they are a net harm? Would you suggest more reading I can share to rels

least antisemitic bluesky leftist

How is a video that has Judaism as Baal, showing a literal blood libel, and with a representation of Orthodox Jews buying the U.S. President antisemitic, they ask?

@cjterry.bsky.social @danwaterfield.bsky.social @nutedawn.bsky.social @abradacabla.bsky.social to win in 2028, democrats and the western world should look to jimmy carter. what do you think nute?

Similarly: Hebrew is in many ways diasporic! love, your local historian

Bluesky is closing a lot of accounts by the most marginalized people in the world*. It needs to do it even more to eliminate spam. *Coerced workers at Burmese scam farms

@cjterry.bsky.social @deargodwhatnow.bsky.social @nutedawn.bsky.social BREAKING: President Ossoff negotiates peace on Earth "In the end, that is God's greatest gift to us, the bedrock of this nation; the belief in things not seen; the belief that there are better days ahead" [wakes up] Jacob: :(

@deargodwhatnow.bsky.social @cjterry.bsky.social dan I am guessing you went to jewish summer camp like all the cool jews. everyone in jewish circles is like where do you live in barnet or finchley road and it makes me feel left out

Bundism failed! It might be a *noble* failure, a doomed moral victor, but an ideology that cannot sustain itself is a FAILURE, no matter how much you love its core premises or want to see them win.

🚨 NEW REPORT! 🚨 What is the state of the UK academic job market in politics, and what does this mean for the field and #highered? In a new @psaecn.bsky.social report, @lawrencemckay.bsky.social @williamlallen.bsky.social and I find worrying trends in job adverts and HESA data from 2012-25 #PSA26

@bouledenerfs.bsky.social @cjterry.bsky.social @puzzledbyadream.bsky.social this is scarily close to my TL www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lbfb...

I do understand this view. Austerity as implemented was a disaster (as I said very publicly for a decade) But we are not seeing/have not seen a huge increase in inequality and the idea that there's some soak-the-rich get-out-of-jail-free card just doesn't add up

@nutedawn.bsky.social yesss you finally changed your christmas pp

NASA woke up the Artemis II crew with Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club 😭

TONIGHT IN TEL AVIV: Ben Gvir’s police violently broke up an anti-war demonstration, arresting Standing Together co-director Alon-Lee Green & activist Nadav Oren. No matter how much they try to silence us, we refuse to stop protesting against Netanyahu’s cynical forever war!
