I know it's been said a million times but honestly, honestly, the US-Israeli war on Iran is genuinely one of the most fucked up things I have seen in international affairs in my life. It is genuinely shocking to me, in a way I think it would be bad to lose sight of, just how bad this has been.

Don’t run universities like a business run it as a public good

Breaking: Tennessee Republicans pass new 9-0 gerrymander after SCOTUS destruction of Voting Rights Act eliminating state’s only majority-Black district & last Democratic seat. Splits Memphis, which is 63% Black, into 3 districts to disenfranchise Black voters. Quite literally a return to Jim Crow

Really vital reporting on an understudied weapon.

Disenfranchisement of Black voters is happening at a speed and scale unprecedented in my lifetime.

The Trump Administration has been using law enforcement to target elected leaders, particularly Black elected leaders, since they singled out Ras Baraka and LaMonica McIver when they tried to inspect a detention center.

lmao far right content makers are getting almost all of their revenue from rich benefactors and supplement sales, not paid subscribers. It's smoke and mirrors.

Protect employees’ rights! Gov. Spanberger, it’s time to sign the collective bargaining bill. All public sector workers deserve the right to collectively bargain – and you can make it happen! #VEAVotes app.sosha.ai/s/EeaY5ErN

Labor author & historian, @kimkelly.bsky.social talks about the importance of channeling momentum into action, and how May Day Strong can help do that. #mayday #workersoverbillionaires #kimkelly

The ADL permanently sacrificed its reputation to get in good with a massively dangerous antisemite and white nationalist. They defended him and stood up for him even after his Nazi salute. Here's how he repays them. This is what happens when you think you're using bigots. They're always using you.

tiny blue penguins!!!!!!!!

"Campus antisemitism is a genuine problem that has, since the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023, been manipulated by the American right as part of a sustained effort to delegitimize universities. Jewish students are not the constituency this campaign is designed to serve." forward.com/opinion/8197...

ICE is alive and well in Los Angeles, aided and abetted by the County, and the City. They're trafficking people, who increasingly have nothing left to lose. part 1

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

God help us.

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

Leaving out key parts of a direct quote from the president is lying.

The NYT is being disingenuous here. The AMA has *always* said that gender-affirming surgeries should generally be reserved for adults. That's part of why so few kids get them! The AMA reiterated this position and the NYT is characterizing it as a policy change. It's not.

I was sufficiently struck by the way in which the Israeli government is using historic antisemitic tropes in its messaging against Iran that I wrote about the trend, and what it says about the relationship between Israel and the Diaspora: forward.com/opinion/8151...

If ICE in the airports does materialize this should be yet another sign to journalists to stop using terms like "immigration enforcement" or "immigration crackdown" with regard to ICE. They are merely Trump's paramilitary force to be used as he pleases.

If someone yelled "9/11 was bad" at my wife while she's wearing a hijab, our being angry about that would not mean we co-signed 9/11. If you cannot understand that an anodyne (or even correct!) moral sentiment can be weaponized by racist assholes, your brain is cheese.

Jews are targeted in shuls & online. Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps. Muslims are openly targeted by politicians. Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI. Trans & queer people are being outlawed. We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

I’m outraged and heartsick that someone attacked a synagogue in Michigan, and I’m outraged and heartsick that the IDF dropped charges against Israeli soldiers who we know sexually assaulted Palestinian detainees, and I’m outraged and heartsick that some will suggest one of these mitigates the other.

Ben Shapiro is obviously correct about the absurdity of Third Temple claim, but his entire project is in crisis. He thought he could let the bigots in but that Jews would still be allowed to pass as good allies of the Christian right. Turns out when you open that door, you can’t close it again.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

Anyone who still claims CBS has not been captured is ignoring very clear evidence to the contrary. Not only is the network pushing falsehoods (no, Iran doesn't have nukes & no, the US hasn't been at war with Iran since 1979), it is overtly partisan.

This isn’t about drivers licenses.

It's very bad! And the well-resourced Jewish communal organizations that should be on top of this burned all their credibility defending Israeli war crimes and are still primarily focused on playing Israel's lawyer rather than addressing the rapidly spreading gangrene.

all the the mighty and morally superior “West” knows how to do anymore is murder children

BREAKING: US and Israel Ilegally Attack Iran In launching the strikes, Trump told Iranians: 'When we are finished, take over your government.' By @minnahfarshad.bsky.social and Team Zeteo, read here: zeteo.com/p/breaking-u...

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.

And, ironically, this attempt to attribute everything bad and corrupting to a single Big Bad, which can be combatted and defeated more easily than the diffuse and complicated sources from which it actually comes from, structurally parallels a lot of antisemitic conspiracies about Judeo-Bolshevism.

The organization that recently received the largest grant in National Endowment for the Humanities history apparently believes that the Soviet Union "created Jewish opposition to the Jewish state." The Tikvah Fund thinks there was zero Jewish anti-Zionism prior to 1917, apparently.

police tech is a multibillion dollar industry with marketing teams, PR templates, and a well trod employment pipeline between tech sales and police jobs. journalism sometimes just… repeats the claims. we made a guide to help reporters see through the spin: justjournalism.org/page/selling...

Her community rallied so fast and so diligently. This is a victory to uphold and celebrate. Reminds everyone that it's worth fighting back.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Absolutely. Sometimes, you don't get the chance to meet them, let alone work with them, although they're your institutional colleagues. That's because they are rarely on campus. And their TT positions are upheld by adjuncts, lecturers AND the tenure-line faculty who do the most teaching & advising.

A higher percentage of American Jews (39%) believe Israel to be guilty of genocide than identify themselves as Zionists (37%). This is not the impression one would get from most media coverage of American Jews. Sources: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... www.jta.org/2026/02/05/u...

They’re trying to run the Kilmar Abrego Garcia playbook with a five year old boy in a bunny hat because nobody can find peace if they embarrass the Trump administration publicly. Normal people didn’t like it with Garcia and they really aren’t going to like it for Liam.

yeah seeing the "Minneapolis took off because the so-called 'activists' got out of the way and let normal people in" takes is really frustrating. that's not at all an accurate look at what's happening in Mpls or anywhere else. All these movements rely on cores of people who have experience.

I thought for sure this was an old quote. He said this statement this morning.

Ive studied tear gas for years, here's the things the feds dont understand. Getting tear gassed sucks in the short term. You cry, you choke, you throw up, you suffer. But in the long term? You're fucking pissed off, you go out again and shout your anger.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

ICE is assaulting and at war with americans. we are all their enemy. no other way to look at it at this point

A little girl in Portland, OR after being tear gassed by ICE. what the actual fuck.

Tear gas will radicalize you. It's a bond that many of us share.

They used "anti-semitism" as a pretext to deport foreign-born students and chill free speech, and their deportation chief -- the one with the nonstandard Hugo Boss-style greatcoat -- was spouting anti-semitic insults at a US attorney

CAN WE ALL CAPS THIS "A chronic mistake organizers make is basically organizing people around their lack of agency."
