The Supreme court is really making it clear that those of us on the academic and research side of countering fascism who’ve been saying that rule of law law alone won’t stop fascism we’re always correct and everyone’s screaming at us that we were doomers and conspiracy theorists were just wrong.

To these people, it doesn’t much matter if your feelings don’t match reality (Brad Lander is not going to endorse and campaign alongside the antisemitic monster this screenshot is depicting). Anyone you’ve decided SHOULD agree with you (here Jews) who disagrees is then denounced as fake.

Here’s the thing about this. It’s not that women are inherently good, benevolent angels and men are evil trolls. It’s that women are socialized to be other-focused and men are not. There are plenty of shitty women out there, but aside from a few edge cases, women don’t get to be oblivious.

Shabbat Shalom to everyone who recognizes that the safety, freedom & thriving of Jews and Muslims are bound up together — in Israel & Palestine, across the five boroughs, and in many other beloved places.

It is incredibly gratifying to see a respected Jewish leader on national television saying what so many of us feel, calling out blatant racism and efforts to divide Jews & Muslims. This is who @bradlander.bsky.social has always been. It is so good that the world is seeing it & hearing him.

Copyright is literally the only thing smaller artists have to defend themselves. It’s why we were even able to take on Ai companies for stealing our work before the bigger companies came in. If you understand how to use copyright it can be a powerful defense

If you are a health care professional and you won't wear a mask on patient request, you are shitty at your job and you should feel bad about how you treat people.

Call me old-fashioned but i don't want anyone surveiling me. I want destruction to all the states, corps and global structures that make it profitable and "who cares if ____ spies on me" is at best unprincipled for the sake of rhetoric, at worst a plausibly deniable defense of that corp/state

Zohran Mamdani's shocked American pundits by running on a platform that provided an alternative to Trump, the Democrats catering to him (hello, Newsom), and misogynist Andrew Cuomo. his economics-first campaign stridently protected trans rights as Dems largely refuse to. me on his win @teenvogue.com

I regret to inform people that there were plenty of Twitterites who argued that the Tree of Life attach wasn’t antisemitic because A) it was right-wing fears about immigration /refugees, or B) it was an attack on “religious people”, not Jews specifically.

The Jewish community here tries to convince progressives to do the work bc this is an inter-community debate that leads disturbing antisemitism. Like when Progressives say CNs aren’t ✝️ because they’re Pharisees, aka too Jewish. Not much to say to CNs bc to them we’re future corpses for the rapture.

It's true. "They're not real Christians" means Martin Luther's antisemitic screeds aren't Christian, the Inquisition isn't Christian, the Crusades weren't Christian, and Christian antisemitism had nothing to do with 2,000 years of persecution and mass murder, culminating in the Holocaust.

Stop using the fascist framing for these, stop calling them detention centers, they are concentration camps and torture camps. Full stop. as many of us on the academic and research side of countering fascism have said: the goal is mass extermination of anyone not white and wealthy

Dems: "what do they expect us to do? We don't have any power" Also Dems: "vote for impeachment after he shreds the constitution? Not a chance in hell" Also also Dems: "I don't understand why young voters don't like us, we even doubled down on the sexual assaulters!"

When I run interviews, I like to ask how people continue to learn in their post-school life. The idea that you go to school and that's the only time you need to learn new things for the rest of your life is 🍌🍌. Doing what you love, so you want to keep learning, is what builds a job into a career.

I once was at dinner next to a first date during which a 30ish DC finance bro monologued for two hours about not getting into UVA/Harvard/Columbia, and people at work who got into those schools but he’s better than them. I realized she was going home with him anyway and almost started screaming.

To know when students need help—especially kids who do not always know that they themselves need help—is beyond a lot of human teachers, much less the plagiarism machine that induces schizophrenia and doesn’t know how many eyeballs and fingers people have.

Zohran translated his campaign materials to Yiddish, he went to seders, synagogues, explained his critique of Israel’s government’s actions over and over. Painting him and anyone who stands for a free Palestine as antisemitic will never not be delusional and a moral stain on the Jewish community.
