Two things can be true at once. Columbia University let a group of violent protesters impede upon the right of non-protesters to walk thru the campus unimpeded, use the library, attend class — it also let them make parts of campus judenfrei. That’s a hard truth many of my friends in academia ignore.

Far right extremists are okay destroying Medicaid for “Black people in the ghetto.” Just as long as they are not their voters. These are sick people.

Khalil and his comrades saw my co-religionists be slaughtered and cheered it on. They whipped up mobs to harass and assault Jews at their university. I still expect the law to be carried out faithfully. I expect him to have his rights ensured. It's not for dirtbags like him, it's for all of us.

Bring back art deco trains. I had to take an Amtrak across country and was devastated to find it a glorified bus. No richly upholstered interiors, no first-class dining cars. I did not solve a single murder. How far we have fallen.

FYI, it’s stories like this that explain why so many Jews don’t and can’t trust the “safety through solidarity” mantra. We know that for us, it’s not an offer of outreach to unite, it’s a threat to exclude. For those who promote that slogan, this is on you to fix. They’re not going to listen to us.

Trump is too much of a coward to say a bad thing to Putin, yet he dares lecture Zelensky? Russia is on the verge of collapse and Trump/Vance are desperate to save them

Unfortunately for academic anti-YIMBYs, building more market rate housing to lower housing prices works in practice but not in theory.

Let's be clear — Jews still consider the Democratic party to be a pro-Israel party, and they’re right — we had a pro-Israel platform, we had a pro-Israel Democratic president until this year. There’s no question that the Democratic Party remains pro-Israel.

So likely the world’s first Trillionaire Elon, who received $36 Billion in govt subsidies and contracts to generate his wealth, is telling the people who built this country what they can live without, as he giggles with his chain saw. Something ain’t right

the people showing up to republican town halls are far better at "resisting" than a single person protesting Democrats instead of republicans. a lot of supposed political experts on this app could learn from these nonpolitical folks how to do political action.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

Thanks to Elon Musk and DOGE, our adversaries now have access to sensitive information about one of our intelligence agencies. Elon Musk and DOGE staff should NOT have access to sensitive national security information. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

Today, President Trump called our enemy, Russia, before calling our ally, Ukraine. Meanwhile, his Secretary of Defense, ruled out a future for Ukraine in NATO and a restoration of Ukrainian sovereignty over its own lands.

Every homeowner in the state is going to be forced to pay to rebuild burned-down homes in high fire risk areas. This is not fair to those of us who don't live in the WUI and we should repeal Prop 103 so it never happens again. www.sfchronicle.com/california-w...

It is important to recognize the anti-development vacancy arguments for what they are: a myth. There is simply no compelling evidence that a surplus of vacant homes exists, especially in high-cost cities. ggwash.org/view/97898/d...

The reason prominent voices from the "anti-war" and "anti-imperialist" left are expressing eager hope about Trump's foreign policy is the same reason they've been excusing, even defending, Russian imperialism: They've never been anti-war or anti-imperialism, they've always just been anti-American.

And the awful truth about this is that H-4 spouses endure a brutally high rate of domestic violence, with it being epidemic in South Asian communities, and women under these visas often being afraid to, or unfamiliar with how to, report violence to law enforcement. It’s part of the exploitation.

Inclusionary zoning for homeownership is great for when you want to trap low- and moderate-income families in place and make sure that they don't build any wealth. Bad for most other things. 👍
