How is this guy ambassador to Malaysia?

This is really sad. The Brewer’s Art was such a fantastic bar. It had great food and great drinks and had several distinct atmosphere, between the three rooms upstairs and the basement bar.

The Brewer’s Art, a Mount Vernon mainstay, abruptly closes after 30 years www.thebanner.com/culture/food...

What a huge bummer this is!!

"We understand that some people are connecting our villainous dancing drunken hasid with a Jewish name who makes his entrance to Hava Nagila to Jews and we are shocked, shocked that anyone would take this as antisemitic"

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

Happy Tu BiShvat! Remember to enjoy some fruits from trees. I know my dog loves a date from time to time. He can’t have all the 7 species but he does love this one.

I promise it is possible to talk about Epstein without slipping into antisemitism I promise all you have to do is make an effort

A picture is worth a 1,000 words.

This is an incorrect read of the civil rights movement. Black people were murdered with impunity, Black churches were bombed for voter registration drives, synagogues were bombed for raising funds for said churches.

“Oh my God, he looks like Leap Day Williams”

The funding gap represents more than an administrative shortage; it reflects international attention drifting away from Sudan's crisis:

See now I don’t actually know who is in favor of restraint at this point?

This is correct. The CR that funds DHS is two weeks. This is very short. Thune is the one who caved. We now must hope that Dems keep the pressure on. And we must pressure them to do so.

Could we go a week without some sort of anti-Jewish violence happening?

BREAKING: The decision by the Trump administration to send 375 members of the Texas and Illinois National Guard to Chicago cost taxpayers $21 million, according to a new report by the Congressional Budget Office. @wttw.bsky.social

Wow! This is amazing. Please make Springsteen’s “Streets of Minneapolis” trend. Here are the lyrics.

Springsteen also wrote American Skin (41 Shots) about Amadou Diallo

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

I’m glad there is an apology for posting Jew-hate on Holocaust Remembrance Day, but this is notably not an apology for the Jew-hate itself, just the timing of it. The article itself, which perpetuates ancient antisemitism, remains unchanged.

Thank you. In addition, remember that your Jewish friends follow the legalism of the Pharisees to this day. Please be respectful of our religion 365 days a year, and not just international Holocaust Remembrance Day.

So after repeatedly using Nazi slogans the administration now can’t even name a victim of the Holocaust.

Which lives were lost, JD?

Nine DAs are coalescing to work on prosecuting federal agents for 'overreach': —L. Krasner in Philly —J. Creuzot in Dallas —M. Moriarty in Minneapolis —L. Conover in Tucson —S. Descano in Fairfax (VA) —R. Fatehi in Norfolk (VA) —S. Morales in Portsmouth (VA) —P. Dehghani-Tafti in Arlington (VA)

They aren’t going to hammer any scandal that implicates them for abetting it, so Trump being 50,000 times more senile than Biden on his worst day is a nonstarter.

I remember her throwing a fit about a Santa who was Black a 10+ years ago and I knew then she was a nihilist.

These views of the Pharisees and Sadducees is classic Christian anti-Judaism, which led to the Holocaust.

Gentiles, I wholeheartedly encourage you to memorialize trans, gay, Roma, disabled, and political victims of the Holocaust, today. They deserve to be remembered. But, maybe, don’t treat this like a zero-sum game where it must be “reclaimed” from Jewish people.

Pretty much every facet of antisemitism can be expressed as some sort of double bind

If you're going to have some weird fantasy about how you would have hid Anne Frank or another Jewish child you're going to have to reckon with the fact that a lot of "good people" who hid Jews eventually sold those Jews out.

As a 3G Holocaust survivor I think it's bad that Anne Frank has morphed into a universal symbol for victims of human rights violations and I wish people would stop namechecking her every time they want to highlight something as bad

People love dead Jews. Living Jews, not so much. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/beco...

A lot of people willfully misunderstood “don’t take the bait” as “stay indoors” and not “please don’t shoot at federal law enforcement”

people were mad about the exhortations by state officials to stay calm but if mlps had not stayed calm they would not have routed them

Benefit of the ice is that now he can run on top of the snow!

Your regular reminder that Andrew Solender's beat PRIMARILY consists of writing things that go viral from Dem rage-posting, and that EVEN Solender has a piece that shows how dated this story is.
