Incredible that the Democrats look at polls like this and say "fuck them kids, they don't vote anyway" (where "kids" means anyone under 45). Just keep chasing those old bigots, millions of whom die off every year. It's got to pay off sometime!

Imagine looking at what UK Labour has done to itself with this very same strategy and thinking that's what the Dems need more of.

One of the towns we've been researching for Dreams on a Pillow -the Palestinian-made game about a young woman escaping the Zionist atrocities of the 1948 Nakba- is Naqura, on the Lebanese side of the border with Palestine. As of this week, Israel has destroyed it. www.france24.com/en/middle-ea...

Lol. The radical extreme-left swamp that Allen wallowed in? Posts calling for Trump to be impeached and to abolish ICE. He even reposted someone that "referred to an immigration processing facility as a 'concentration camp.'"! Not exactly "up against the wall motherfuckers", but I guess it will do.

IRL, Meyer Lansky broke up Bund rallies, ran weapons & hooked up the Office of Naval Intelligence with the NYC Longshoremen (a mobbed up union) to protect the harbors. Valentine may have been based on Mickey Cohen, who ran book and beat up Nazis while working for Bugsy Siegel in LA.

Just a reminder that these people will always sell you out whenever the price is right.

We're in the waiting days to see whether the FDA will ban shocking autistic and other disabled kids as punishment, which only one school, in Massachusetts, continues to do. The decision is slated to come before May. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“For two years, Amal received direct threats from the Israeli regime. In one interview, she recalled a call from a Mossad agent who threatened to sever her head from her shoulders if she didn’t stop reporting from the south …. they wanted her to know that she was being surveilled”

Since you're gone The nights are getting strange

A great thread showing that you never know what will spark a lifelong passion, and it's never too late to discover a new one.

Hilarious to see Peter Beinart labeled "far left" simply because he supports a binational state.

Part of my job is to ensure that critical applications can survive disasters, even "smoking hole" ones like these. But since insurance generally doesn't cover losses due to war or terrorism, companies still bear the financial cost. Maybe they should do more to support an equitable world order.

“If bullies think they’re going to stop the work, they don’t know me. I’m from Boston.” Such a great project, something that should be mandatory for all major roadways. And as always, fuck Christopher Rufo.

I love when billionaires talk about making a larger pie, as if they wouldn't still take the lion's share of the pie and leave us the crumbs.

This week, less than a third of the daily trucks stipulated by the deal entered Gaza, and less than half were aid. People need to be able to buy scarce essentials. Can you hit "weekly" or "monthly" on a five for these 21 families? Then act for their lives. chuffed.org/project/hope...

In the next few days I need $3400 or my household (3 people + a cat) will be evicted. I'll have to go back to Texas and my wife would lose her insurance. cash.app/$DragonAField venmo.com/u/Caeli-Field www.paypal.me/caelifield #MutualAid #HelpFolksLive2026 #TransCrowdfund #Crowdfund #HelpFolksLive

In Scarsdale the trashing of a flyer showing all of Palestine belonging to Israel, and having no mention of Jews, is called "unacceptable antisemitic conduct" by the school superintendent, and the school board president has to "focus on healing my family" after his daughter praised the action.

'“[If] we don’t stop it in Austin ISD, we are going to see more of this across the state,” Hall said. “We need to make a statement and set an example.“' This is the core of the conservative mindset: the fear of difference and the loss of control, especially over their children.

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

I remember the rise in the 1980s of the New Age eugenics that posited that people only got sick because of their own choices. Thousands of MLM supplement ventures later we're seeing it newly embraced by MAHA and tradwife influencers selling the idea that bad things can't happen to "good" people.

"'Cause there's too much to do before I die" You did plenty Dave, RIP.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil is confirmed to have been killed by the IDF. Al Akhbar, her outlet, as well as LBCI and Al Jadeed, have confirmed it. The IDF, the world’s leading killer of journalists, was blocking rescue operations.

Israeli prison guards recently attacked Marwan Barghouti with a guard dog, among many other beatings. This is a 66-year-old man, weakened by years of mistreatment at the hands of a regime that will do anything to destroy him and the cause that he has devoted his life to.

“Open The Road!” These brave children held a protest after being tear-gassed by IOF/IDF for attempting to cross a razor wire fence in Umm Al-Kheir, West Bank. (Footage: independent journalist Andrey X for Caravan Collective, in Palestine)

Aw man I got blocked by @nordicweaselgames.bsky.social and those are my favorite weasel games! They beat Gallic weasel games to shit.

Really, who wouldn't want to be in a Shanghai noodle factory nowhere doing nothing?

I thought this point Eric made about how libraries are early introductions to a social contract was really interesting, too:

A great dispatch from the Texas border, where Texas Republicans, led by AG Ken Paxton, have targeted a key nemesis of the far right and Christian nationalists: Catholic Charities.

Palestinian children in the West Bank were prevented from going to school by Israeli security forces who closed a road in the middle of the night and set up razor wire. The children tried to cross through the razor wire and were reportedly tear-gassed. Photo by @the_andrey_x

Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones and worse And for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe And we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing

"🔥 Why does this matter? Because Gaza’s youth are unstoppable in their drive to learn and work. They push forward, even when everything seems against them. With your support, you can help turn their determination into real opportunities and lasting change." chuffed.org/project/spar...

I wonder if all the people saying "don't give money to individuals in Gaza, give it to Oxfam or Save the Children" will listen to what the leaders of Oxfam and Save the Children have to say about why they aren't able to help the people of Gaza? www.un.org/unispal/docu...

Good report by Jack Power on the conflicting currents within the EU member countries over continued support for Israel. Tomorrow is a big day.

The Palantir manifesto has the heritage of the War on Terror written throughout it. Which makes an awful lot of sense considering who staked Palantir at the start.

To answer your question, yes, some Pro-Israel Michigan Dems are crashing out tonight.

I'm so tired.

The Strokes closed their Coachella set with a powerful montage of the governments that the CIA has overthrown, the leaders the US has assassinated, the war crimes America is now committing in Iran, and the genocide Israel is committing in Palestine and Lebanon.

This is what Israel has done to Bint Jbeil, my hometown in southern Lebanon

The defensiveness in the Palantir post is so characteristically transparent. The "snickers at Musk's interest in grand narrative" aren't because he dares to be ambitious. He's ridiculed because the deep thoughts of him and his cohort are literally like children playing "what if we ruled the world?".

"Too many have forgotten...that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict." Clearly the "version of peace" that people like Thiel and Karp celebrate doesn't count the millions that the great powers have murdered in the Global South.

We have to understand and absorb the fact these people are not going to do anything for us they don’t have to do

It’s a good time to buy prints of my work. I’m running a 10% discount. (I’m super broke and could really use your support and I’d rather you get something cool than just donate. Prints start at $5) seanbecknercarmitchel.shootproof.com/gallery/2938...

Thank you Judge Kasubhai! During his confirmation process, Kasubhai was attacked by Republican senators for his courtroom policies respecting trans and nonbinary people's pronouns. We need and deserve judges who respect all people for who they are.

UK Labour just piling up their Ws.

"We will remain and they will disappear" - Meead Abu al-Rub, lawyer with the Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission.

"Logging here and there is fine, but I'd prefer to do prometheus metrics or OTEL tracing since they're better designed for high-scale systems." Definitely this. Focus on meaningful granular metrics driving proactive alerts, plus tail-sampled distributed tracing linked to judicious logs.
