the israeli state does very very bad things very often

your donation isn’t actually being “matched”

i like to call this "electoral college brain," when politicians (or hell just regular people) confuse the fact that the electoral system privileges closely competitive interior states with some deeper, fundamental meaning

the left nimby program in a nutshell 1: "decommodify housing" 2: sadly, no new housing is built 3: i inherit my parents' house

I have never been led astray by my instinct that there are probably no good political streamers

I say again that anyone who thinks Jews, or any minority group, are better off in a world where senior politicians feel comfortable with overt racism is an idiot of the highest order.

If someone yells "free Palestine" at me because I'm visibly a Jew, they are not expressing solidarity with the concept of a free Palestine, they're expressing hostility towards me based on a racist assumption that I am opposed to a free Palestine.

when is zohran going to do something about the price of shmura matzo

Folks really really really need to stop handing it to Joe Kent. He's a virulent antisemite! There's no principled nuanced point here about Jews, Zionism, the State of Israel, AIPAC, etc. He just thinks "The Jews did this".

Joe Kent is neither the worst person you know making a good point nor a broken clock; he’s a notorious antisemite and white supremacist who is blaming Jews to get out of a real job that’s quite difficult right now as we increasingly explode the world and create the conditions for terrorism.

not great to change basically all your foreign policy positions from reasonable stuff into this conspiratorial nonsense because a hack from The Intercept took a break from defending leftist men accused of sexual harassment to attack you for being anti-Hamas lmao

The thing about Zohran doing this is that he may not get immediate credit from Jewish organizations, but telling these psychos to fuck off and thus polarizing his own broad left-wing coalition against them is in and of itself beneficial.

This was *the* case pro-Israel defenders would point at to say "See? Israel takes human rights violations seriously!" And after all that — including mobs of Israeli rioters and politicians storming a military base to protest the arrest of these soldiers — it's being dropped.

An unfortunately large number of middle-aged Jews who have spiraled into being insanely racist in the last few years.

A Jewish communal organization that really cared about fighting antisemitism would look at Zohran Mamdani and say, "He's much better at distinguishing between Jews and the state of Israel than many other critics of Israel." Instead, the ADL and AJC acted like he was the next coming of Karl Lueger.

Anyone have friends in Yerevan, Armenia? Asking for a story. If not, will you repost for signal boost?

good.

"No new wars" really just meant "f*ck Ukraine" and everyone knew it.

personally I think if the Maine primary voters choose Platner, we will be entirely justified in judging them as people who, at the least, are fine with anti-semitism.

Press gave Biden far worse coverage for a small number of American soldiers dying while leaving a war than to Trump for a similar number dying while starting a war for no reason. It makes you think!

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

I think Platner is actually a very talented political communicator and that this talent is tied to a dude who is either Nazi-adjacent or a stone cold dipshit with horrendous instincts - or both - is Not Great

Some of yall are getting a little too comfortable with your antisemitism that yall are trying to cloak around being anti-impearlist.

We stand in solidarity with all people caught in the crossfires of Trump and Netanyahu’s reckless attacks on Iran and the ensuing escalation of violence throughout the Middle East. 1/7

For what it’s worth, I don’t have any tattoos.

*I do think the Greens have some terrible policies on everything ranging from natal policy to geopolitics but they are not like an inverted Reform, as I think MIC have shown, Reform voters do stand apart in many ways from those of other parties.

Anyway the risk profile for Platner isn’t Fetterman, it’s Gabbard

A great rebuke from @nanagongadze.bsky.social about our constant, misplaced search for symbolic resistance in Russia kyivindependent.com/the-film-awa...

a significant reason Mamdani can get away with this and other Dems can’t is less that he’s charmed Trump and more that he’s charmed you, dear reader, which is why you’re not yelling at him for being a collaborator or an appeaser right now

every faction in politics will invent their own bespoke conspiracy theory to avoid confronting the inescapable truth that we just need to make it easier to build denser housing

this is fine. good, even.

whatever it takes. as long as it takes. slava ukraini. 🇺🇦

You do not have to give it, ever, to Tucker Carlson.

That is a disastrous performance from Arsenal. And frankly the scenes at the end smack of team who are losing their rag and feeling the fear.

in woke 2 we are doing away with 90s-00s new atheism

it really is amazing how well the “are you pro Ukraine and pro Palestine” thing works as a basic moral litmus test

the fundamental divide in the democratic party isn't between "moderates" and "socialists" but between fight and don't fight. the new crop of dems understands that fight is the only option. we can disagree about policy later, as among friends--but we have to crush these people now

This is the kind of American I am.

A country with a literal “Revolution of Dignity” will not back down when it comes to commemorating innocent people killed in war - and they do not accept false equivalencies or regulations about expression

I have to say, I do not love this new trend of large liberal accounts with millions of followers identifying Jews.

I meet new MPs all the time and I am constantly astonished by the careers they describe pre-politics, the specialist knowledge and what they gave up to be in Parliament. Yes, there are a handful of hopeless wrong uns. But pick one out of a hat and you find a serious, committed person 9/10 times.
