Much of the new form of post-MAGA right-wing antisemitism is going to repeat the same old tropes about Jews as rootless cosmopolitan degenerates, but will conscript Israeli Jews on the “good” side of people victimized by those dastardly Jews. Groups like the ADL are unprepared to talk about this.

1/US demands Ukrainian minerals or face cutoff from Starlink. It is the most venal form of economic coercion. And it will only accelerate the backlash to US tech platforms. Now Starlink = AWS = Facebook for friends and foes alike. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Really love this @melissagiragrant.com piece on education and healthcare workers pushing back, forcing their employers to grow spines. This is what I mean when I say we are strongest at the point of reproduction right now--this is where we win.

How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes? Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce. Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

My boss today, in the personage of Dr. Alison Wrynn, Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs, said with a straight face that unionization hurts academic freedom. Not six months ago, she released a free speech policy that told of us how to walk, talk, and chalk. We weren't consulted.
