Part of what's striking about Abulhawa's antisemitism is how intentional it is. There are often difficulty in discussing whether an incident is intentional, but this isn't one of those cases; the explicit invocation of Easter and "defend Christianity" is direct and disconnected from her figleaves.

THREAD As antisemitic conspiracy theories & language evolve, we must keep up. Abulhawa's post is a perfect example of a new dynamic. Connecting the idea of "Jewish supremacy" with "the Epstein class" is an old form of antisemitism grafted onto new conspiracy theories. Let's explore why:

"To have your child abused while in the government's care, to not understand what has happened or how to protect them, to not even be told about the abuse, it is unimaginable," said an attorney representing the girl. https://to.pbs.org/3PV4hr9

Great example of bad science policy communication 👇🏽 This post does not communicate that they don’t propose cuts to the Artemis program. In fact it proposes an increase to their budget. The cut is to the science programs: the curiosity and saving planet earth programs. 🔭🧪 #scicomm

Volodymyr Zelenskyy received a Torah translated into Ukrainian as a gift for Pesach. www.jpost.com/diaspora/art...

Awful story. A graduate student appears to have died by suicide after an encounter with federal agents.

One thing I find striking is the number of people using LLMs basically like Google, and they would be totally satisfied with the first Google hit. If I were Google (and I’m not), this would be something I’d emphasize more and take the LLM out. Just remind people that they own the best search tool.

The idea that mocking the religion of the Iranian people while threatening to commit war crimes (and that’s what Trump is doing) is going to strengthen the resolve of Iranian hard liners who see him as increasingly desperate. Media let these dumbass shills get away with way too much.

“I’m not worried about whether the thing I’m doing is a war crime.” Right in the file for US Nuremberg.

I have sent numerous emails to county debate organizers and Maine State Dems about participating in the debates and keep getting stonewalled. It’s infuriating to keep watching Janet Mills refuse to show up for Mainers while I’m outside trying to bang down the door.

The argument in mainstream politics has always been that “moderates are reasonable and listen to experts,” but that’s just not true and this is a good illustration of such a case. Moderates are often detached from reality; tax policy is one of those areas.

DO NOT reply to this and say “oh that’s just instagram” or “instagram is bad you shouldn’t be on it anyway. This is not just instagram. This is AMERICAN SOCIETY. This is wide-spread anti-Jew hatred. And every single post she makes results in these exact replies.

Just going to leave this here.

Nothing I could say about the GOP base is as illustrative as the fact that Trump understands that posting black people in what his audience considers a “white space” will make them incandescently angry bsky.app/profile/atru...

I wish I didn’t know people like this, but I do.

A few years ago, I was asked for a paper for a conference on Christian nationalism and sent them a prospectus for an analysis of the range of these views and strategies for breaking down the coalition... but people weren't interested. This should've been a part of anti-extremism work years ago.

Yeah... though I've got to be honest, the Town Halls have been really bad. But you can't win an election if you're playing "hide the candidate."

The purpose of expanding the Court isn’t just a matter of adding a bunch of liberal justices, but also because a larger number of justices dilutes the powers of any individual justice or voting block.

I used to write the WaPo editorials on US-Africa policy, as well on as human rights and politics on the continent. To describe hundreds of thousands of deaths on the continent as “messy” is an absolute abomination.

Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. I'm not a huge decorum guy but I do find myself nostalgic for the version of confrontations between states that did not feature emojis

You have lived through one of history's greatest crimes. It was caused not by vast forces of history but one man's twisted racist imagination and malevolent disregard for the world's poorest people.

“The Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Budget proposes to eliminate the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and provides $38 million to conduct an orderly shutdown of the Agency.” — NEH.gov The NEH has $207 million for FY2026. War in Iran? 1 billion per day. We go through 4.83 NEHs a day for what?

I think these beliefs should be mentioned alongside Phillips’ belief that the 2020 election was stolen by 2000 mules. They’re both as credible.

This is one of the new talking points in a lot of tech (to the point that the FCC is putting together an accelerated framework). I work on these issues; some people are really bullish. But with Musk we can always count on the most irresponsible, half-baked version.

A great letter from a wide range of experts. The US should join the international legal order the ICC and affirm the accountability of Americans (including Trump) to international law. That should be a major Democratic policy priority.

Over 100 international lawyers (including me) warn that U.S. strikes on Iran violate the UN Charter and may be war crimes. Read the letter here: www.justsecurity.org/135423/profe...

Fishback is a failed VC who had his firm shut down because backers were worried about criminal liability, lied about being affiliated with DOGE, and groomed and assaulted an underaged girl… so, about right for the groypers.

During an appearance on a right-wing podcast yesterday, Ohio GOP gubernatorial candidate Casey Putsch said Nick Fuentes "brings a lot of receipts," said "you can't argue that he isn't smart," & praised his "courage." Putsch also said Fuentes' groyper followers are "thinking for themselves."

"Frankly, I'm tired of the slander," remarked her colleague Jimmy Pogrom, who is running for governor of North Carolina as a Republican. "They don't even answer any of the objections raised on the Nude Africa forums. At least not on the substance."

I think this argument is correct, but even if it weren't, it'd still be the most fiscally responsible decision to give access to transpo. Why? Because means testing invariably costs more than just including people in the service. We've seen this with school programs for years.

Since this ruling, I have heard from so many of my Jewish students about their fear that they could be put on a similar list, since our school has also been investigated by the government. They are so much more terrified of that than antisemitism on campus. thehill.com/homenews/edu...

The other point, obviously, is that he is declaring in advance that he won’t comply with this law, which sends a message to the country and to posterity: “You will never find out what we did here.”

NYT: young people at CPAC are "J-pilled," defined as slang for "skepticism of Israeli influence" Then a few grafs later they quote a groyper who says "at least 60 percent of the young people here" are fans of Nick Fuentes, who wants to deport all Jews from America www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/s...

The Chief of Chicago PD denying the existence of a law he's responsible for enforcing, in respect to a direct question, seems bad. This guy may not be good at his job.

Every smart law person I’ve talked to has basically said, “the fact that this isn’t a 9-0 dunker is a national embarrassment.” That should be a low bar for flagrant nonsense.

Yearly reminder that Christian Seders are antisemitic supersessionism

This 🧵 provides useful context on the Piker stuff, but there’s an additional piece of context about Third Way: the org has routinely demonstrated a commitment to ignoring racism/misogyny/antisemitism of potential crossover groups they chase, as is clear in their work on Gen Z Trumpers.

BookTok is one of those things that - every time I hear about it - just leaves me bumfuzzled. Why have these people decided to engage in a book discourse when they want to read as little as possible.

This is the right approach to understanding/explaining Trump. There’s no “strategy” in firing Bondi; it’s strategically a huge blunder, and a clear product of his own psychological fragility. Now he needs to send a sycophant to the confirmation process, as his approval is 💩. Bad strategy.

Clearview AI has a long record of these failures and a massive contract with ICE. It was built with financial backing for Thiel and largely on datasets from Meta. So… pretty much exactly what we’d expect.

facial recognition is dangerous when it works and dangerous when it doesn't work it should be banned in almost every use case

Male supremacists Joel Webbon and Wesley Todd want women to “shut up.” I wrote about this and the abuser politics on the right. www.liberalcurrents.com/abuser-polit...

This is up there with “a non-Cardinal becoming Pope” in terms of things that are theoretically possible on some understanding of the rules, but only actually possible under very circumstances.

100+ year old Pasteur Institute in Tehran was a premier infectious disease research institute and vaccine manufacturer It is a reason Iranian kids like me born in 60s had access to measles vaccines soon after they were developed in the west

Sorry to be a stuck record, but "graham youre a heidegger scholar" at least deserves to be an honourable mention

You know, Tom Cotton probably should’ve watched what happened next in “The Dark Knight” before tweeting this.

"Trump leads like Nixon" is quite a take from Issa. Fortunately for the CA congressional delegation, this'll be the last year with Issa in the delegation.

Age-minimum bans harm LGBTQ+ kids during a time in our politics when they're especially vulnerable and under direct attack from the federal government. www.lgbttech.org/post/lgbt-te...

Congressional Republicans proposing that we approach the Iran war like Vietnam and Iraq, conflicts that famously went great.

If all goes according to plan, in a few hours, a crew of astronauts will begin a journey that will take them on a loop around the moon. Here's a video that NASA put together to help people visualize the journey through space, first orbiting the earth before looping around the moon and flying home 🔭
