I first wrote about Mikey Weinstein and the @militaryreligiousfreedom.org, which has been fighting for the rights of Jews, Muslims, atheists, and others to be free from religious coercion within the U.S. military, nearly 20 years ago and I am glad to see him out here still fighting the good fight.

what they mean is _wealthy_ taxpayers. because, again, they're okay with the government giving your money to _them_. they're not okay with the government giving their money to _you_. subsidize profitable businesses downsizing left and right? yes, please! feed poor people? oh, you must be kidding!

i'm gonna fuckin lose it man

a tablet contributor who writes exclusively since october 7 about how the left turned its back on jews for not defending israel's right to do genocide against the people they've been denying basic human and civil rights for 77 years

The fact that the New York Times wrote this paragraph, wow

“I feel like people mistook my 250k for enthusiasm” is something I’ve often found myself saying out loud

Hmm

Federal Housing Finance Agency Director William Pulte: “[I]n keeping with President Trump’s vision to make the United States the crypto capital of the world, today I ordered the Great Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prepare their businesses to count cryptocurrency as an asset for a mortgage”.

Wow! Looks like Cuomo will drop his NYC mayoral bid!! Will not run on third party line in November! 🤯🤯 nypost.com/2025/06/25/u...

Love too reinvent antisemitism from first principles.

i was also initially freaked out by chants of "globalize the intifada" and then for nearly two years watched people protest peacefully while they were brutalized and denied their civil rights and... i got over it. it's not their chants imperiling us. it's israel's genocide doing and our denials.

goddamnit marianne, i thought you were one of the insufferable but cool ones

it makes a lot of sense that rabbi marc schneier is big on cuomo because schneier is also a sex pest who was booted from the r.c.a. for cheating on his wife with a congregant and the cofounder of his foundation for ethnic understanding, russel simmons, has also been accused of sexual misconduct

i wrote this in my piece today (shameless plug: www.discourseblog.com/p/zohran-mam...) but one of the things i think worked for zohran is that he actually *likes* the city that he wants to represent. cuomo talks about nyc like the worst place on earth. zohran seems to love what's best about it.

A smattering of UN human rights experts have published joint allegations against the US government for disappearing people to El Salvador. These only become public 60 days after transmission, so that’s we’re only seeing this just now. spcommreports.ohchr.org/TMResultsBas...

Waiter, more right-wing tantrums, please!

“I’m explicitly admitting there is no threat and it’s an absurd notion but because a religious group is delusional about the fake threat 400k of my neighbors are assholes” I thought this was a perfect shitpost but he’s serious

NEW: 911 audio and EMS records from ICE detention centers reveal a surge in medical emergencies — including staff sexual assaults, suicide attempts, and head injuries. Records also show calls over severe pregnancy complications. Free to read: www.wired.com/story/ice-de... w/ @dell.bsky.social

nyt: ew he's a dirty socialist mamdani: *wins* nyt: he's not even a _real_ socialist, he's just a bourgeois poseur

hippity hoppity time for chippity choppity

@nadler.house.gov jerry! jerry!

andrew cuomo setup state-run grocery stores in regional rest stops and shopping malls throughout this state called taste ny to sell new york-produced food and craft beverages that costs as much to administer as it brings in in profits and doesn't help struggling new yorkers in food deserts but OK
