that is the thing about clusterfucks. the more entities that are involved, the harder it is to just say "hey my guy, i'm done"

Big “12th deposition of the case and the lawyers fucking hate each other” energy

JOKES ON YOU I ACTUALLY AM AN NPC

This shameful Islamophobic nonsense must be called out unequivocally.

They pretty straightforwardly decided to go in on this together, and now that it's turning into a shitshow want people to blame the Jews.

Who COULDN’T use some good news? ‘ Scientists with the Yurok Tribe say that two of dozens of condors released to the wild in Humboldt County since 2022, to reestablish the endangered birds, have paired up, built a nest in a redwood tree and appear to be tending to an egg.” #californiacondor

On the 6 US troops who died at Shuaiba port in Kuwait: Troops asked for more drone defeat capabilities, none came. It was recommended that the makeshift tactical operations center not be used because it was hard to defend and concentrated too many troops in one place. www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-st...

normal people i know and would generally say that I respect[ed] are now dropping stuff like "the jews bought all the houses, that's why it's all so expensive", in casual conversation. it's absolutely fucknig shocking

people saying “criticizing Israel isn’t antisemitism” in response to this are telling on themselves heavy

My radical take is that the people primarily to blame for the inevitable wave of anti-Semitism we are already starting to see are in fact the people being anti-Semitic

What a stupid time to have a degree in International Relations.

And please note that evacuation is never gratis—you always have to pay. Anyway, feeling awfully embittered toward the US regime at the moment.

a (Jewish) friend just sent this to me and it has made me laugh and laugh and laugh. Happy Purim everyone!

If only we had had some sort of nationwide official proceeding to determine whether or not Kamala Harris should or should not be leading us Alas,

The horrific thing about Watto is like the only other option besides “skeevy Jewish slave trader“ is “skeevy Arab slave trader” and uh, both of those are both George. In related news, I’m glad that Lucas no longer has a hand in the media at all so

these days people mostly admit that antisemitism happens, now its a fight about what "the real" antisemitism is, which is always over there, done by other people unlike whoever is talking and Jews focusing on antisemitism from the wrong source are underhanded screamer who are weaponizing it

We are all mad and fighting right now. Please stop and watch this video again.

Vore or blood libel, everyone’s least favorite game

Bravo, leftists. Pure genius move. And unlike most of the GOP's bullshit, all of these claims are both accurate and in context. This is but a taste of what awaits EVERY Democratic candidate this fall.

I am going to blame antisemitism in the US on Americans, not another country.

from my very narrow pov at some point we switched from “it is not antisemitic to criticize israel” to “it is impossible to be antisemitic while criticizing israel” and things have gone very steeply downhill since then

Today I learned that Jewish Voices for Labour have thoughts on AIPAC and 1) why? 2) yeah those thoughts aren’t great

What is a Jew? - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate

Apparently it’s National Pig Day, which is all the excuse I need to re-post this adorable ancient Cypriot pig rattle from Portsmouth Museum.

If you want to épater la bourgeoisie you gotta être la bourgeoisie, baby.

Glad I made this now

a reminder that Graham Platner is the grandson of the designer of the "Windows on the World" restaurant at the WTC, has considerable family money, and his main business is selling oysters to his mom's two restaurants. These people are fucking marks.

Archduke Franz Ferdinand has entered the chat

bsky.app/profile/quas... it's literally in your replies you dink. He deleted his posts after he was caught but there are still sceencaps

My wife grew up as the only Jewish kid in a small town in Maine, with everything that implies, and you can imagine she feels some type of way about Platnermania.

I have a personal issue with the genre of scary Black people in thumbnail videos 1) it’s racist 2) the first amendment auditor who targeted my office only put Black people in their thumbnails and never any of the white people who confronted them.

So Graham Cracker went on a show that 1. smeared Somalis, you know likely the largest single ethnic minority in the state of Maine and 2. spread the conspiracy theory that lead to the full on ICE/CBP invasion of Minneapolis was he a "fan" of that episode?

the guy had a literal Nazi tattoo, you fucking moron

Fuck off no he has not

The horror of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza has enabled me to convince many of my Boomer Jewish relatives to be more critical of Israel, and not to reflexively assume pro-Palestine activism is antisemitic. If Platner becomes the leading anti-Israel voice in the Senate, that work disappears overnight.

What the hell is wrong with you? For those who don't know, "Parshat Zachor" is the special section of the Torah that we read once a year, with the commandment not to forget Amalek's attack as we left Egypt. It was read in shuls around the world YESTERDAY. Of course the scroll was at that spot

This isn’t going to matter because the antisemites have learned that as long as they say “Israel” or “Mossad” or “Soros” instead of “the Jews,” various sorts of progressives and leftists will defend them no matter what they say after.

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

Let’s see how much Ryan Grim defends him and we’ll know.

Okay I should stop having fun

Collins absolutely has a massive trove of Platner dirt ready to go the day after the primary, it's going to be a bloodbath

And this excellent point is roughly where I get my vague insistence on narrowing the definition of antisemite as a noun

Sub post because I don’t want to drive more views to the thread. Sorry for fighting with dipshits and making your mentions explode

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

That may be true. And also as a Jew who is worried for my own safety and the safety of my family by the aggressive mainstreaming of violent antisemitic conspiracism across the political spectrum, this is an insanely callous response.

a thing that doesn't really get enough discussion about platner is that, even if you assume the latter here is true (and i do), it's going to make him strongly susceptible to malign influences if he gets elected to the senate; the framework to think about him isn't fetterman, it's gabbard

The two options at this point are (1) that Platner is a straight up Nazi, (2) he is the dumbest motherfucker in the state of Maine, the second is arguably better in some abstract sense but both are disqualifying

As predicted, the Missouri GOP saw what Kansan republicans forced through and are now trying the same. If you are a resident, please voice your opposition to the following 3 anti-trans bills IMMEDIATELY as they will be filed tomorrow, March 2nd: HB 2075: witness.house.mo.gov/Default.aspx...

Shoutout to everyone in the national media who has spent months glazing this guy and treating people who suspect he’s a legit ideological antisemite like they’re hysterical
