The political dynamic of the American Jewish community is one of the most important stories of our time, and that is why I am so glad @davidklion.bsky.social is on the beat, because he’s a very good writer and journalist and his stories always leave me with much more understanding

Whitney Tilson’s Meta ad campaign is 100% fear — at least what’s showing up on my IG feed. Big mistake to spend on me because it just convinced me he is unrankable

Literally any fucking grifter can get published in a “respectable” “mainstream” publication if they accuse Democrats / the Left of having a totally different trans policy than the one they actually have/had in Biden.

Ads on IG by Whitney Tilson accusing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social of insufficient Zionism and of daring to call a genocide a genocide have popped up three times this morning (they’re going for Bushwick, I guess)

Also: Presenting “Africans were active in the slave trade” as something the leftist “political correctness” warriors want to censor is so telling. No one disputes this. The issue is the Right’s “Whataboutism” that brings this up purely as a way of shutting down critical debate about U.S. history.

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

The wording of the question has changed, but congestion pricing is now at -2 statewide; +10 in NYC in this month's Siena poll. That's a 20 point swing from -22 statewide shortly before launch in December. December poll: scri.siena.edu/wp-content/u... May poll: scri.siena.edu/wp-content/u...

HARD DISAGREE with this headline but this was an incredibly fun conversation with @christress.bsky.social about how The Onion is punching so damn hard right now, and why that's good for both business and the world at large. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

The great thing about journalism is all the gifted reporters and editors have lost the jobs they went into debt to train for and sacrificed their emotional health to do well, but half a dozen middle-aged moral disasters are now the face of the whole discipline because they suck up to billionaires

It is and always has been a battle between the class of New Yorkers who only ever travel in a chauffeured vehicle and the much bigger group of people who use bikes and trains and buses and subways to navigate the city. And sometimes drive a car, too. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/05/16/a...

When I wrote that these folks were segregationists, the response from some quarters was that I was exaggerating or missing the bigger picture. But they are literally segregationists and increasingly open about that fact.

The news item and Bad Thing is that people were shot and one died. But if you work to reinforce the inhumanity of a group, you pick this headline. Hamas is not a part of this. But readers got another headline justifying the genocide in Gaza. That’s how they do it. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/15/w...

Here is the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for: "As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."

With Grok, Elon just showed us how AI can be used to perform the same function of Fox News or Newsmax or Tucker — relentlessly injecting MAGA ideology into the body politic — without all the pesky humans! Hold fast to your jobs, maga pundits.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

There's a decent paycheck waiting for any cis writer who wants to write chin-stroking articles about trans 'issues,' but a couple of quarters and a cigarette butt for the trans writers standing on the media corner with the sign reading "Will write about my people for food."
