Oddly comforting to me that in the year of our lord 2025, Kris Kross’ song “Jump” is the go-to music for jump balls in NBA arenas.

listening to some stevie and i kind of think that you could bring a good chunk of americans back from the abyss if you could just get them to listen to “As” and force them to hear him sing/growl “did you know that you're loved by somebody?!?”

There is a kind of left winger and liberal alike who finds it impossible to oppose the liquidation of Palestine and Ukraine at the same time. Putting aside that this is literal infantilism in political form, it's also pretty obviously detrimental to their own projects. Hypocrisy is easy to spot.

I think the main reason that 50% of all Democratic voters, along with dozens of countries who have filed interventions at the World Court, think a genocide is happening in Gaza is the behavior of Israeli forces in Gaza, the stated intent of Israeli leaders, and the sheer glee they've expressed.

If anyone would like to help a (technically) single dad give his kids a nice first Shabbos in a place of his own at last... About CA$500 is on the more urgent side, with about $3000 needed within the next 2 weeks

This is unreservedly good and I applaud it. It would be even better if they acknowledged the moral panic that they themselves helped feed. Jewish senators accuse Trump of exploiting antisemitism to target universities www.theguardian.com/news/2025/ap...

Wonder if US-origin tank shells were used. The former Secretary of State approved their transfer to Israel under emergency procedures—disregarding legal restrictions based on the law-of-war compliance of the recipient. apnews.com/article/isra...

The keffiyeh. The watermelon. The phrases “settler colonialism” and “all eyes on Rafah.” All examples of antisemitism, according to pro-Israel groups’ new training for the NYPD. @alexbkane.bsky.social reports jewishcurrents.org/training-nyp...

Seems to me like, regardless of your opinion of Sanders and AOC and so on, actually engaging the public in a series of very well-attended rallies and speeches is a more effective way of intervening and making a mark on the discourse and public sentiment than crying to POLITICO or a DSCC meeting

I'd say more precisely that we have people going all in on the idea that self-discipline is about having what it takes to dunk your head in a bowl of ice water every morning rather than having what it takes to treat someone different from you like a human being.

Getting rid of safeguards designed to limit civilian harm from U.S. military operations & ensure compliance with international humanitarian law undermines our credibility, jeopardizes our missions & raises the risk of natl security threats.

In today’s totally unsurprising news. Recall that in his first term, Trump resumed PGM transfers to Saudi after Obama paused them due to the RSAF using them to attack Yemeni civilians. Even after Saudi used a US PGM to target a school bus full of Yemeni kids, Trump kept sending them more bombs.

my main reflection on the slotkin "war plan" is that democrats have collectively decided to adopt cursing as a central part of their communications strategy

re: UAW, I'm pissed about the tariff shit but it doesn't come close to my seething hatred of Shawn Fain for his silence on the abduction of my fellow NYC-area white collar UAW member Mahmoud Khalil.
