How on earth can support for an 80-year-old project of statecraft possibly constitute a “core pillar” of our 4,000-year-old heritage?

Those in charge of “The World’s Only Jewish State” openly hold the majority of The World’s Jews in utter contempt

Yechiel Leiter, who is the Israeli ambassador to the United States, earlier today said that Bernie Sanders is not a Jew but instead a "a Communist, who may have Jewish pedigree". "That doesn't make him a Jew."

May 19 birthdays are quite the rotation

Nakba denialism is morally indistinct from Holocaust denialism.

If they would happily vote for Carlson over AOC, they are definitionally not “on the left.”

Let’s see, who’s in a better position to inherit the Sanders movement: the charisma-less guy who’s backed by tech capital, or the democratic socialist with generational star power?

Drug-addled neo-Nazi trillionaire imbecile: “This movie I haven’t seen is a desecration of this book I haven’t read.”

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

This This and This ... are not 3 things... they are one thing

If CLE I’m going Hart on Harden, Bridges on Mitchell, Brunson on Wade, OG on Mobley, KAT on Allen, and I’m excited to see Deuce on Strus, for both the perimeter stops and the rhyme. If DET it’s gotta be OG on Cade, Bridges on Robinson, Brunson on Thompson, Hart on Harris, KAT on Duren. Right?

From the most revolting Nazi on the NYC Council, a masterclass in how Islamophobia and antisemitism go hand in hand. Rather than just be a repugnant anti-Muslim bigot as such, Paladino instead scapegoats Jews for her noxious racism. Don’t exploit our fear and heartbreak for your own hatred, toad!

The world is disgusted by Israel’s genocide against Gaza and horrified that apartheid exists well into the 21st century. And yet our government continues to fund and support Israel’s actions, even though it’s illegal, against our own interests, and costing us our own standing on the world stage.

McMorrow’s team vastly overestimates how protective the voting public is of the title “physician.” Honestly, they probably overestimate how much of the voting public regularly *sees* a physician.

For my latest column in @thenation.com, I wrote about the symbiotic relationship between the neo-Nazi right and the Jewish institutions that insist on equating Zionism and Judaism.

A most joyous double חי birthday to @jfrejnyc.bsky.social, whose membership recruitment video I am extraordinarily proud to appear in (alongside @abbystein.bsky.social and others)! Watch the video below and click the link here to join: JFREJ.org/join

In 2011, Pelosi was saying “It is clear we must enter an era of austerity; to reduce the deficit through shared sacrifice.” The counterfactual posed here works even better if the Democrats of the time had been decidedly opposed to strangling the economy with austerity.

Possibly some recency bias at play here, but I feel like the last 6.5 games may be the best basketball I have ever seen the Knicks play. Dare I hope??

May the memory of Abe Foxman’s long smear campaign against the movement for Palestinian human rights and the damage it did to our ability to combat actual antisemitism be a blessing upon us as we seek to undo his loathsome work, which was so important to delivering the current global fascist surge.

The genocide is ongoing

Santa Fe, where the gentle sounds of wind chimes blend with the gentle sounds of wind chime ring tones

BBC Projected National Share of the vote for the local elections with the change from last year. Despite the fanfare in the media for Reform this echoes their steady decline in the polls. Reform 26% -4 Green 18% +7 Labour 17% -3 Conservative 17% +2 Lib Dems 16% -1

Trump Media, the parent company of Truth Social, just reported its 2026 Q1 results. It lost $405 MILLION on $900,000 in revenue.

So you’re telling me an extremely deadly, newly human-to-human transmissible virus for which there is neither cure nor vaccine is breaking out at a time when our public health system is being run by a crackpot eugenicist whose brain was eaten by worms? 🆒

I cannot quite believe I am writing this but apparently Nigel Farage has been invited to speak at the big Jewish communal rally against antisemitism on Sunday (as well as Starmer, Badenoch, Davey but seemingly not Polanski). What next, invite Oswald Mosley to address the people of the East End?

As you’ll likely recall, the British establishment press crushed Corbyn under the weight of accusations of antisemitism. That same press today: bsky.app/profile/benp...

And to think they could have had Jeremy Corbyn

Seems sound

Man oh man would I be delighted to find out yougov.com/en-us/articl...

relentless poll chasing + contempt for your political base + a total absence of principle or vision = political disaster www.nytimes.com/2026/05/05/o...

This reflects a genuinely concerning and worrisome trend, and I really wish the ADL had not so badly torched its credibility in the past few years that anything it puts out is now inherently suspect. We need an actual reliable record of this, and the ADL cannot be the source of that.

This chart is wild: white evangelicals disliked Trump posting an image of himself as a Jesus-like figure *just as much as other religious groups.* Note: In poll after poll, white evangelicals are typically an outlier in polls focused on Trump and favorability — but not here.

"conservative in some ways, believed in rule of law and judicial independence and science, and wasn't constantly tapping into our worst impulses" describes the Democratic Party.

Obviously, either synagogues don’t believe that protests actually endanger their congregants or they don’t care about their congregants’ safety; otherwise, they wouldn’t keep hosting land theft expos, which they know reliably generate protests.

It is obscene and sacrilegious to do the cursed work of occupation and apartheid in a holy sanctuary. Selling stolen land in houses of prayer is a grave desecration of Jewish tradition.

We call this thread Commie des Garçons

Adem Bona tonight: 0 points, 0 assists, 1 rebound, 2 turnovers, 5 fouls, 3:47 playing time

When the Knicks are playing like this, there is no one they can’t beat. The issue is, they just don’t always play like this.

Hack-a-Mitch is pathetic, cowardly basketball. You can’t depend on your team of professional basketball players to win by playing basketball? Total loser nonsense.

Praying for Rudy Giuliani. Complicated man, but he taught me that marriage and family don't mean anything. You can just do whatever you want. Humiliate and lie to everyone you're supposed to love whenever you want, or are bored. Honestly fuck them. Also he taught me everything else is like that too.

I repeat. The only time he won, it was because he joined a team that had already won without him and would go on to win again after his departure. The rest of his career has just been bouncing around from failed “superteam” to failed “superteam.” No leadership, no grit, no heart. Born loser.

Now Toronto! What’s up with these fourth quarters?

Orlando out there looking like Atlanta

There are many ways to die by the sword

Maybe Plattner pulls a Fetterman, maybe he grows the Bernie wing of the caucus, but either way: May he confiscate that seat from the fascist ruling party come November amen amen amen

Just refusing to sit with my fear that the process of de-MAGAfication and codifying a Third Reconstruction is at least like a 25-year arc and the planet won’t give us that long. Gotta compartmentalize sometimes, you know?

In the same day, Josh Gottheimer both voted with Republicans to give Trump warrantless surveillance powers over Americans, and also introduced a resolution to condemn Hasan Piker

Hawks don’t even have Risacher in for garbage time
