Yeah loved this piece! @lithub.com.web.brid.gy does not miss

The attacks on Mamdani show that Jewish leaders will sacrifice almost anything to preserve Israeli impunity. They'll support a sexual harasser + an anti-Muslim bigot. They care more about preserving Jewish supremacy in Israel than defending legal equality in the US

Goddamn everything but the circus.

A way to stay sane in 2025:

The can-do let’s-help spirit of the OG internet community is still here, and never has it been more present than in this saga. Scroll back through Cat’s posts for the full beautiful story, it’s the best thing you’ll read (nonfiction) in 2025. 🥹

A response to Cosgrove et al: “If you can’t re-examine your relationship with Israel, and even re-tool it, after these two years, why should I listen to your moralizing about antisemitism?”

I highly recommend this book. It helped me to understand a framework of what forgiving people in my life might look like, and it also helped me accept that some wrongs are not able to be fixed.

makes me weep to think of the gifts robbed from us because unaffordable housing has made it difficult for people to pursue their passions and hobbies

Art matters! Joy matters!

five days and a few hours to go and at this point I'm just gonna be shameless: if you can help signal-boost this thing, I'd be grateful. I've done very well through my own channels, but haven't had much luck breaking out beyond them. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

I am a fan of @theradr.bsky.social's On Repentance and Repair: Making Amends in an Unapologetic World for the personal to the political. Rooted in Jewish thought but more broadly applicable (however, rooted in Jewish thought may be an asset for a Nazi-related transgression).

To become dependent on ChapGPT is to evacuate yourself from your own life. YIKES, no thanks. I’m gonna be alive inside every damn thing I do, even and especially the ish I don’t wanna do.

I write this for a few reasons. 1) Accountability on something specific. 2) To model to swaths of Jewish leadership that *it's possible* to take accountability for genocide complicity. 3) To talk about repentance & repair work post-genocide. It all still matters. It doesn't stop mattering now.

Portland sure put a bird on it!!! 👏🦄💪🦖🐥

TOMORROW @ 4PM Trump got Kimmel fired because he didn't like his jokes. In response, comedians are roasting Trump at ABC's NYC HQ and demanding media companies stand up for free speech. The show is free and open to the public.

"It's our job not just to oppose the administration and the those who support it and further its propaganda efforts, but to be the opposite of them in this crucial way. To tell the truth wherever and however we can..."

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

I was ready on January 20.

Texas Republicans have locked Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier inside the state house chamber and refuse to allow her to leave. They are requiring Democrats to sign “permission slips” and have a police escort in order to leave the chamber, and she refuses to sign it.

Jim Henson Pete Seeger Fred Rogers Dr. Seuss Molly Ivins And I want them all to team up to protest what’s happening in the world right now.

“I don’t know how I flew, but I somehow stayed alive.” Sometimes the NYT is still worth reading. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/w...

The usual rule of thumb is: When a news headline asks a question, the answer is always no. But when the NYT headline asks, "Is There a Smart Way to Cede Power to Donald Trump?" the answer is, "Go fuck yourself."

I would just assume everything was as it should be, myself.

So I'm just blocking this shithead and I know my followers don't need to hear this but I worry wider liberals find this kind of argument convincing and this is what they think it is all about so I'm going to break it down. Bathroom bills aren't just about 'getting to use your choice of bathroom'.

Oh my god my kid is playing with one of my old matryoshka sets & whatever game they’re playing, it involves the second-largest one standing in front of the others yelling at the biggest one “if you want to hurt my babies you gotta go through me!” I’m dying, quietly, so as not to disturb the battle

I need the phrase (or its equivalent in everyday casual speech) of “What the fuck” in as many languages as possible. Go.

This is incredibly beautiful storytelling.

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

No Other Land is available to rent directly from the filmmakers (until May 9th I believe) and all proceeds will go directly to those in Masafer Yatta at supportmasaferyatta.com. You can also donate on that same page directly if you've already seen the film or want to give a larger or smaller amount.

Do not, I implore you DO NOT listen to the haters who say the latest seasons of Doctor Who aren’t good because they are wrong and most of them are saying that for reasons you can easily surmise from certain keywords they use.

I missed this on the actual date. This is why they say better late than never.
