Thread of the day. Future gens - if in a free society - will wonder why we let Nazi-curious enthusiasts define antisemitism, grossly trivialize it to crush opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and then weaponize it to destroy our rights. My fellow Jews who support this are cutting our throats.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

It makes sense the ADL doesn't want voices like mine represented at a conference on antisemitism. Like many Jews I am diametrically opposed to their approach, which has rolled out the rug for authoritarianism & made all of us less safe. My remarks- benlorber.com/2025/03/25/r...

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 13 hours — taking aim at Trump, Musk, and America's 'moral moment'. Just after hitting the 12-hour mark, Booker said, "I am standing here because of a national crisis that is growing."

"In Gaza, human shields are used by Israeli soldiers at least six times a day...Today, almost every platoon keeps a "shawish," and no infantry force enters a house before a "shawish" clears it. This means there are four "shawishes" in a company, twelve in a battalion, at least 36 in a brigade. 1/4

I would like to read an essay about how anti Me Too backlash is central to understanding what Democratic elites and journalists mean when they talk about the party becoming “too left.” They will never say it out loud, but it’s 100% there.

- Rumeysa Öztürk has never been charged with a crime. - Mahmoud Khalil has never been charged with a crime. - Momodou Taal has never been charged with a crime. - Badar Khan Suri has never been charged with a crime.

"We're all trying to find the guy that did this." Singal is a pathetic hack trying to push the same narratives that caused this while trying to absolve himself of the blame. It's his fault this is happening.

An article that makes you sick to your stomach.

a cage full of shaved men in bunks stacked up to the ceiling is the modern day death camp. they are invoking the cruelty, the sadism, the AESTHETICS of Nazism and turning it against young Latino men. it is disgusting and it offends me in my deepest self.

The Palestinian co-director of Oscar-winning film "No Other Land" Hamdan Ballal was beaten up by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank and taken away by Israeli soldiers, his colleagues and eyewitnesses said.

Exactly this. Anyone who thinks Bibi commits these atrocities for ideological reasons doesn’t understand Bibi. He’s been indicted and 10/7 happened just as he was trying to push through VERY unpopular judicial coup/reforms (people protesting in every city in massive numbers for 9 mos leading up +

If you are an American conservative, there is nothing anyone can say or think about you that can possibly be worse than what you actually are.

Hey @repmoskowitz.bsky.social NOT IN OUR NAME a legal green card holder Who was a student of the university in question Exercising his 1A rights Shouldn’t have his civil rights abrogated because you disagree with him, no matter how shitty your politics are. That’s not how rights work.

yeah the obsessive focus on antipalestinian policies is all about their grotesque apocalyptic vision for the earth and the bloody prerequisites for jesus' return. people like mohammed khalil, protesting for justice, are caught in this bloodthirsty ideology

This was a winning strategy and nothing radicalized me more than seeing the dem establishment try to tamp it down under the guise of seeming respectable. Very hard to trust a party where the people in charge seem to be keen on killing any and all momentum

The weakest, most pathetic thing. Imagine becoming one of the only 535 people out of over 260,000,000 US adults with the Constitutional authority to craft the federal budget—which many aspire to their whole lives—then begging an unelected official to "let" you have a say in the federal budget.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE. In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

We've been, correctly, beating them up for not doing anything. Today they did something and they deserve credit. Nice job, Dems. More, please.

You all really, badly, quickly, need to familiarize yourselves with the Republicans’ media infrastructure. No joke. This, none of this surprises me. They have built a media ecosystem that is impenetrable and actively uses Dem messaging to push people down the alt-right pipeline.

BREAKING: Associated Press is suing the Trump administration for violating the First Amendment. This is what needs done at every turn. Resist. Fight back. Well done AP👏

One of the first things Hannah Arendt talks about in the Origins of Totalitarianism is how what happened to the Jews during the holocaust could have been any minority & that any system that leans towards totalitarianism needs a minority group to subjugate. It could be you, it could be your neighbor

It’s weird how we’ve memory holed the fact that Obama entered his first term with a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate and a majority in the House and McConnell’s response was “We’re going to make Obama a one-term president,” not “there’s little we can do”

Now that musk is saying he’s doing the DOGE stuff “because the globalists have plotted a Great Replacement in which they use government handouts to buy votes from illegal immigrants and urban blacks” maybe we don’t have to act like this is about deficits or cost cutting anymore

Why is the richest man in the world cutting cancer research?

you should read david’s thread for a thorough dismantling of this article. i will only add that it is very disappointing, although not altogether surprising, to see some progressives treat trump’s war on DEI as a legitimate policy difference and not as an explicit effort to resegregate the workforce

I deeply hope cis people start paying attention to how this government is beginning to interact with us. In an official capacity.

The SAVE act would be disastrous for many voters but would particularly make it almost impossible for married women and trans people to vote. Two groups w/ high numbers of name changes & exacerbating an issue I’ve been screaming abt since 2017 that no one listened to

Also worth noting that they put aside organizational differences to align behind this message. No organization is named here. Just the signatories. And we’re Jews. We argue over everything. This is a minor miracle of conscious.

Yep! Call Governor Hochul and tell her to fire Adams NOW. 1-518-474-8390

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

an ethics investigation!!!
