If you support this, you’re an awful human being

🤔

I wrote about the Educational bookshop, and why the ugly and ridiculous attack on its owners matters. I don't know Mahmoud Muna personally but I heard him a few times and he always struck me as one of Jerusalem's most inspiring intellectuals. artreview.com/mahmoud-muna...

No wonder RFK jr's family hates him

I’ll say it again. What makes this platform different is that it’s moderated. And, The Terms of Service are enforced. Bluesky is not like Twitter The world needs a platform where people who disagree can have a real discussion.

no funding if it seems like the research MIGHT involve a woman or a nonwhite person

I don't think Trump's "resettlement" talk will go anywhere for now, but it is a clear signal to the Israeli government that it could ethnically cleanse Palestinians out of Gaza + the West Bank. The US would be ok with it. Of course, this depends on the timing, pushback etc.

My instinct is to make the case that USAID is extremely good, actually. But I feel like it’s more important to say, “What is happening is antagonistic to the foundational document of the nation.”

Good piece from @anandwrites.bsky.social

BREAKING: Trump gets Mexico to send an extra 10,000 troops to secure their side of the border. Oh wait, sorry, that’s what Biden did in 2021:

Trump got played again. Canada *already* has 8,500 frontline personnel at the border. www.canada.ca/en/border-se...

Professor of evilology here. Evil people often lie to obscure their true motives. 🧵

A great analysis of our relationship with the internet. (You might want to check out the referenced artwork, Stimulation Clicker first if you don't want to be spoiled on what it is)

They are expanding their McCarthyite war on diversity to include people with disabilities, and doing it very clearly. Should someone in a wheelchair be able to work for the FAA? I think an overwhelming majority of Americans would say "of course" but that's not what we're hearing from Trump.

Ummm I don't know who needs to hear this but if you have a family member who is a federal employee DO NOT BROADCAST ON SOCIAL MEDIA ABOUT IT OR ANY RESISTANCE ACTIONS THEY MIGHT BE TAKING

I'm actively blocking anyone I'm seeing who is using Trump's genocidal Gaza remarks to scold people who were criticizing Biden/Harris during the campaign The US has never been the limit on Israel's genocidal intentions in Gaza. They legit tried to cleanse the north under Biden. Stfu!

Twitter has been going downhill with propaganda. Glad that @bsky.app is taking over.

While we rejoice that Israel is no longer starving Gaza to death, we mourn the certain return of the genocide after the hostage exchange is completed. Now no one will stop it.

A lot of people are confused by how someone so seemingly stupid as Elon Musk could become the richest person in the world, so they come up with all sorts of theories about how he must be secretly smart. Allow me to explain: the world is stupid too.

Very helpful, Google AI.

Liberals are useless. Biden is a liberal. Harris is a liberal. Look where that got us: Gaza, Genocide. Trump.

The ceasefire agreement that Israel is being told to accept is one that Netanyahu has tried to avoid for a year now, because it looks like the end of the war. And Netanyahu knows that the end of the war could bring him down. It's not a given, by any means, but he thought the risk was too high. 1/

Did Gaza cost Biden re-election? His ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, seems to thinks so: "Standing with Israel for these past 15 months, with huge opposition in the media, in parts of his own party, you could argue that it contributed to making his challenge for reelection insurmountable."

Conditions on Congressional aid to your fellow Americans but not on Congressional aid to foreign Israelis. Gotcha.

Hollywood celebrities tell the world of their trauma--losing their homes in the hellscape of fire-filled LA. While Gazans have lost virtually every home, every school, every shop, every road, every relative to genocide. No one is writing front page stories about this trauma.

They'll likely have to wait till hell freezes over since Bibi wants a ceasefire like he wants to lose the next election.

If antisemitism is core to Palestinian identity, and to the struggle for Palestinian rights, then eliminating Palestinians is a justified form of fighting antisemitism. This is the warped and racist logic that leads people to acquiesce and support starvation, mass murder and collective destruction.
