When Musk gave a Nazi salute: all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath

Lander: "It's just gross, racist bigotry. Meanwhile he's running an optimistic, upbeat campaign for a NY where everybody belongs, and I feel proud as the highest-ranking Jewish elected official in NYC to be supporting somebody who would be the first Muslim mayor—what could be more NYC than that?"

Note that in the NYT bubble, there is no such thing as pro-Palestinian activism. And why should American Jews care about a NYC mayor’s position on a conflict 6,000 miles away? The antisemitic dual-loyalty trope is so deeply baked in. I find it a lot more offensive than “from the river to the sea.”

It is the position of the administration that a post saying “Free Palestine” or talking about diversity should ruin your life, but a post calling to hate people from India should not. That’s their moral sensibility. Nazi scum.

"Critics Say Kanye West Has Revealed Himself as a Nazi. It's Not so Simple" -- The New York Times, tomorrow (probably)

submitted 143 days ago • 45 comments

If there’s one main takeaway from Kanye’s deeply hateful ranting on X, it’s that even self-proclaimed “free speech” protector Elon Musk, like old Twitter, has limits and a need to moderate content. It shows that his “free speech” pitch has always been full of holes.

Hey @warren.senate.gov you voted to confirm this guy and as your constituent I need an explanation. I need to know how you could possibly think doing so is in the best interests of the people who elected you, the country, or the world. Seriously. Explain.

Lessons to be learned: 1. Centrists align with far-right to look tough on immigration 2. Centrists gain nothing 3. Far-right wins more power

Ah, I almost forgot about how blue state governors would have to publicly kiss Trump's ass during his first term in hopes that he didn't deny them funding they were due. I see we're doing that again.

Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked." She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "You've done well," she says. "By telling men to dress gay, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home in a walkable neighborhood

Exactly what the NYT, and to a large degree, what your employer MSNBC has been doing for the better part of 15 months with Biden and Gaza: normalizing, downplaying and defending brazen presidential lawlessness. Only Biden’s war crimes actually happened, whereas Trump is announcing his in advance.

Also, I'm surprised Zuckerberg discussed pressure from the Biden team but never mentioned how Trump threatened to throw him in jail. Why wasn’t that brought up in his conversation with Joe Rogan? It seems like a pretty important detail to leave out. www.politico.com/news/2024/08...

As everyone should know by now, the anti-trans rhetoric isn’t about “protecting women” in bathrooms or sports … but about removing trans people from public life. And it’s working. This is a big company, making a big change that isn’t about protecting anyone (except men from having to see tampons).

Only 2 of the whites i met during my last 10 years in the US knew what the Tulsa massacre was. And one of them only knew it after the amazing HBO Watchmen series aired. Mediocre and or racist whites all over the place.
