the goal isn’t to protect jews from antisemitism, it’s to use jews as a scapegoat to justify removal of “undesirables” so that it foments a backlash against us and not them

A giant of 20th century playwriting and a hugely important dissident artist reviled by his home country's government, a category about which we should probably start re-educating ourselves. RIP Athol Fugard. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/09/o...

This development is a horrifying and further escalation of the very topic I wrote about yesterday evening: The Trump administration’s move from governmental changes to individual attacks focused on political opponents. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-test...

This extreme escalation is an egregious violation of first amendment rights. Now is the moment to speak out and oppose this as fiercely and loudly as possible.

Now that the influential bigot who did a Hitler salute publicly claimed that organic protests against his malfeasance are secretly controlled by a list of foreign Jews, some of whom aren’t even alive today, are we allowed to call him a Nazi, or is there something even Nazier we have to wait for?

As kids get sicker, media ignores scientific papers pointing to immune damage after COVID. Instead, parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of RSV, flu, pneumonia, & more, while masks, clean air and the pandemic are pointedly never mentioned. www.thegauntlet.news/p/kids-keep-...

Imagine if the most prominent member of the Biden administration had reposted, in agreement, someone calling a prominent GOP senator a ‘retard’. Would have been the end of the world, biggest scandal ever. The asymmetry in American politics continues to grow. Just wild to see.

"The agents claimed that the State Department had revoked Khalil’s student visa, with one agent presenting what he claimed was a warrant on his cell phone. ... [Khalil's] attorney had circled back to demanding to see [the] warrant when the agents apparently instead hung up."

Most recently, they had been reviewing regulatory approaches in response to the fatal Listeria outbreak from Boar’s Head meats and fatal Cronobacter contamination in powdered infant formula

Everything else aside, no one ever says WHO is supposed to 'reach out to young men.' Why? Whose work is it to do this? Is it implicit that this is work men should do or is the expectation once again that it's women's work?

Let me be clear. This would end space science in the US. A 50% cut will scramble everything, and the chaos will result in a greater than 50% cut in science. If this happens, China will lap us in a couple of years. www.planetary.org/press-releas... #planetsci #planetaryscience #astronomy

This is so true and unfortunately that cult consists of all Republicans. Not one of them - especially the Republican members of Congress and governors - is doing a thing to help prevent the suffering of so many people.

Americans (myself included) tend to laugh off the Trump noises about annexing Canada as obvious nonsense, but the rest of the world is taking the threat seriously. Our media should reflect that reality and hold him accountable for the serious damage he’s causing.

After years of alarm over unelected bureaucrats pulling the strings, what better example can you find than this moment the US government is in? DOGE is the thing it claims to fear the most. Elon Musk is the problem he purportedly wants to solve. Doge is the Deep State. @brbarrett.bsky.social:

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.

A whole host of overpaid consultants and talking heads told them not to do the right thing and they still chose to do the right thing, so I'd even go a step further and encourage people to contact Senators who opposed this measure (SB 9) and thank them for standing by trans people and our families

At some point the opposition needs to say what is happening here: Donald Trump is a tyrant in the full sense of the term, an American fascist dictator who believes the law flows directly from his command. And he is also a deeply unwell, unfit, and criminal man with nonsensical whims

The EEOC filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk's company, Tesla, alleging it allowed "severe racial harassment" of Black employees including “frequent direct verbal racial attacks” and the “constant presence of racist graffiti evocative of lynchings.” Every story about these cuts should say that.

It wasn't a "tense exchange" or a "shouting match", It was the American president and VP attacking an ally on live television, lying, acting like tyrants. In a long list of despicable, grotesque displays from this WH what just happened in the Oval Office is close to the top. What a shameful day.
