Almost like support for Israel doesn’t equal support for actual Jews and they support Israel for a very specific, anti-semitic reason🤔

Oh, but Heritage created Project Esther to stop antisemitism. Wait, it wasn’t really about that but about dividing the left-liberal coalition to get votes for billionaire oligarchs?!?!!?! No! Someone tell all the people like Blackman www.axios.com/2025/03/25/p...

On Bari Weiss. Yes.

What’s happening at Heritage: Right-wing Jews at Heritage are leaving because they have realized that the Christians at Heritage are antisemitic—despite the rightwing Heritage support for Israel, and the nominal stop antisemitism efforts like Project Esther.

Trump is losing, and desperate. He needs to find a way to distract from his failure—his falling approval, the House starting to jump ship, the Streisanded Epstein files, impeachment articles blossoming. He tried a prime-time address which failed. Now this. Let’s turn the screws until he cracks.

How it started. How it's going.

This is the purest defeatist bullshit. No! No one will pay a price unless we fight to make them pay that price. There will be consequences for MAGA and Trunp and his fascists only if we make them happen. The time to organize for that is now.

People often ask why Democrats don’t have something like TurningPoint USA — so before the year ends, let me introduce you to Voters of Tomorrow. We’re on campuses across the country, organizing over 10,000 Gen Z members to engage our generation. 🧵THREAD

Casten did not say this.

if you want to make change you have to understand what motivates other people

This is one part of what it looks like when the government has been taken over by a fascist movement that's trying to push out its reactionary vision of national rebirth—women & racial minorities purged from positions of authority & re-subordinated, etc—through all cultural & professional spaces

On the Yglesias debate today: I disagree with a lot of the takes about him. First, he is smart and works hard and his blog can be good. So, the problems? He’s become nihilistic about politics so he is now self-serving, he butters up the wealthy and powerful, and he uses social media to troll.

doomers and futility junkies: please do not do that. Don‘t just say things will never work. if you’re doing to do that, also propose something that will work

Keep track of that number. I guarantee a lot of GOP Senators/Reps have a threshold for turning on Trump. It may not be exactly 25% but I have no doubt there’s a number of

Holy smokes. Finally, at long last, elected Democrats are coming out against quantbrain “popularism”. This is from a rank and file House member, and therefore it is the first leak in the dike. It is Dem leadership in both houses —like Jeffries and Schumer—who have forced this on us.

Have seen this sentiment a lot. But it’s wrong because it inverts the core, fundamental causes. Nixon wasn‘t pushed out by his own because they wanted him out. Republicans were FORCED to push him out, by the weight of public opinion, which got his approval down to around 25%.

Infuriating. Criticizing Van Hollen? The goal of the Ezradonorglesias moneychasing pundit blob is to cut off any resistance whatsoever. They prefer Cortez Masto’s approach, which is utter and complete capitulation.

Yglesias referring to Senator Van Hollen as a "safe seat clout-chaser" is so despicable. VH took a stand to prevent Abrego García - an innocent man - from being disappeared into CECOT for life.

A biting critique of Big Philanthropy and local news. "These funders — including the American Journalism Project, which drove the creation of Houston Landing — have increasingly been picking the winners and losers in American journalism, with no consequences when their calls go badly wrong."

NB: When I, a professor of law, profess that an act is unlawful, I am not doing it to inform the lawbreaker, but rather to inform you, the reader. So the question “what, like you think he cares?” is inapposite. The question is whether *you* care. I think you should, which is why I bother.

“Illegal.” In direct violation of statute. The name cannot be changed without an act of Congress.

The problem isn't that we can't talk to each other The marketplace has heard the ideas Large supermajorities reject them Yet our anti-democratic political institutions allow the 20-25% that like those ideas to capture & control all the institutions The problem is the anti-democratic institutions

I hope Merrick Garland is very uncomfortable today. He is a major reason so many people are suffering now.

Democratic leaders should now be saying: when we retake power we are kicking Andreesen, Ellison, and UAE out of control of TikTok.

three words: ”Prepare for prison”

“European and American liberal democracy is so dangerous to their project, in fact, that the MAGA ideologues seem to be planning to undermine it.”

i know it's a sucker's game but imagine the coverage if the brown killer were on the loose and any other president / head of FBI were in charge and making no progress.

Every single person in this picture should be in prison by 2030, just as Bolsonaro is. We cannot avoid imposing consequences and still have a democracy. We should dedicate ourselds to that effort and demand our representatives call for it too.

👇🎯 The sneering disdain & barely veiled antisemitism Jessep shows when he asks, "You, Lt. Weinberg?" - specifically singling out the silent Jewish lawyer who isn't even lead counsel - was a masterpiece & made it quite clear exactly who he was & who we were supposed to compare him to in our minds.

yes. And there was a long window between Election Day and RFK Jr’s confirmation hearing in which this info if made public could have changed the course of history and saved the lives of children. 1/

“The Second Amendment” by Michael Waldman, a worthwhile read, details how most Originalist scholars found Scalia’s Heller opinion to be problematic. The next Dem president needs to expand the Supreme Court with jurists committed to overturning every single one of the Roberts’ Court trash precedents

Some good news from this mess: There ARE no 2nd Amendment rights. For anyone. No citizen or noncitizen has any right to a gun. We are going to reform the court and overturn Heller and fix this corrupt decision.

"@vanhollen.senate.gov's visit to El Salvador played no role..." This is wrong, and moreover it is seemingly intentionally stupid. No one believes that public opinion does not affect fascism. Or that public opinion does not affect the courts. Ask Brett Kavanaugh.

"Conservative lawyers, stand up for your principles! Do what our billionaire donors want! Billionaires are good, democracy is bad, Trump is a dictator and that's good, brown people should suffer, we are better than liberals, and nyah we have the votes!" Stand up for your principles, conservatives!

when in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them...

there is something to this. Average people are stepping up and acting, or speaking up and leading, at risk to themselves. It is leaders who seem to be afraid

John Podesta is a political consultant who co-founded a lobbying firm that raked in cash from corporations. Podesta has been in politics for decades. He watched as corps and the Supreme Court destroyed labor rights. He let it happen! He’s blaming “faculty” to deflect blame from HIMSELF. 1/

We need Democratic leaders to confront this gutter rhetoric about hate with our words about rule of law. We need them to say, “When Bovino becomes prosecutable, he’s going to get prosecuted and jailed. And Bovino needs to be prosecuted now.”

i too have seen posts from self-described leftists i do not like on the internet. i am not sure that they govern the democratic party

what is happening at Brown is horrific. And the Supreme Court conservatives helped cause it by making up a new second amendment in 2008

It’s been reported that Fetterman’s dad spends all day watching Fox and is extremely pro-Netanyahu. 1/

Other nations are seeing the massive problems with the US MBA media. And one of those major problems is our corporate/mainstream/MBA media generally will not be adversarial with Republicans. That’s bad for their business.

No way people can look at the ABUNDANCE 2025 event roster, with all the usual donor funded goobers from Reihan Salam on down, and say it’s not donor-led with a straight face.

His approval rating is 36%. Never mind Europe, Americans don’t want Trump to serve as the leader of America.

Did not expect to be demanding something needs to be *more* Orwellian

Right. But we don’t need them! Nixon was removed at a 22% approval rating, because his party threw him overboard. Which means we can write off, for persuasion, one quarter of the country. We just need to focus on persuading that 15-20% slice between 25% for Nixon and 45+% for Trump. 1/
