The inside of a Tesla in Chris Cillizza's driveway in deep blue Falls Church might seem like a strange place to meet a Trump supporter. But over the blare of Nickelback at full volume, you can hear whispers that putting a flier on a windshield is worse than sending children to torture prisons.

Might need to avoid this app for a while. This sucks.

Azeen Ghorayshi built a career and a reputation on writing about sexual misconduct in astronomy and used that to pivot into destroying the lives of trans people at the NYT

Does anyone know an account from Gaza which has been seeking support for more than a couple of weeks and *hasn't* been banned? Like, sure, there are bad actors out there, but some of them must be legit. This thread strikes me as being dishonest.

I told the truth about the West Bank and was threatened and assaulted. Now Iโ€™m relying on you to act Our lives are blighted by illegal settlements, and 22 more have just been approved. Unless Israel is held to account, we will be erased Issa Amro www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

But still you say and do nothing. Iโ€™m looking at you, white feminists, environmental justice warriors, nature writers, tv presenters, privileged highly โ€˜educatedโ€™ silent academics, leaders, Labour & Tory voters who backed this, celebrities.

โ€œCertain Jewish people are actually part of a demonic cultโ€ is the OG antisemitic trope

I have a rule. I donโ€™t write the post unless I can write the post in a mostly neutral, justifiable, โ€œcalmโ€ fashion simply: We have Republicans breaking out The Protocols of the Elders of Zion and Synagogue of Satan rhetoric on TV interviews while claiming to be protecting Jewish people

If you saw even one of Miller's briefings you know how ghoulish he was. He doesn't get to do a rehab tour.

Leading Colorado Republicans are blaming Democrats for the antisemitic terror attack in Boulder. Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinksy says Gov Jared Polis and other state leaders are not really Jewish and belong to a โ€œdemonic cult.โ€ #copolitics

Get the sense that attack in Colorado was the work of a single individual and thus hard to prevent. But worth recalling how how many FBI have already been pulled off counterterrorism and other forms of crimes for immigrant round up duty.

i saw gazans being burned alive on here and it was the most horrific thing i ever witnessed and i canโ€™t imagine anyone who was devastated by that thinking that the correct response is to do it in turn to people half a world away who simply want their friends and family back

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We donโ€™t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Dear breathless, gullible types in the UK eager to jump on the populist RW bandwagon: Itโ€™s illegal in the UK to hire anyone on any grounds other than merit. And itโ€™s EDI, not DEI. HTH

The reason why this article is so bad is that the only argument it marshals against international students is a fallacy. There isnโ€™t a fixed set of slots for people to compete for, given by nature. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/01/o...

Not me looking at the letters that form 'alibi' and 'motion' and trying to string together 'abolition'. #strands

Like, maybe the answer to "why did Musk do that weird thing" is that he is a weird guy, usually high, who spends way too much time online with some of the world's biggest conspiracy theorists.

The OCHA brief for Gaza should be read daily. 54.000 killed, with credible estimates suggesting that this is 40% below real number. 470.000 facing catastrophic food insecurity.

For folks living in the United States, participating in this sort of thing is a federal crime and will land you on the radar of the US Office of Foreign Assets Control If you don't go broke defending yourself from the federal indictment first, you'll likely go broke while you're in federal prison

In 1885, white rioters murdered dozens of Chinese residents of Rock Springs, Wyoming. The story of the atrocity is still being unearthed 140 years later.

WE ARE RELIEVED TO HEAR A U.S. COURT HAS RULED THAT TARIFFS AGAINST OUR ISLAND WERE ILLEGAL AND A SPECTACULAR MISUNDERSTANDING OF GEOGRAPHY, BIOLOGY, AND REALITY. FLIPPERS UP UNTIL WE ARE PERMANENTLY SHOWN DUE RESPECT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER -PM Tuxley II

I think it's not exaggeration to say that the future of "international law" probably rests on innovations from orgs like that of the Hind Rajab Foundation, which files requests for arrest warrants against rank and file IDF in individual countries based on their independent research and legal work.

yes. they literally blame higher education for a social order that doesnโ€™t give unquestioned deference to people like themselves

Iโ€™m tired of seeing people give up on Gaza by accepting the Israeli governmentโ€™s declarations as inevitable facts. Just because they want to ethnically cleanse Gaza and implement concentration camps as part of their genocide does not mean they f-ing get to do it. ๐Ÿงต
