“Why is everyone mad at Israel? They have only killed 3.5% of the population of their occupied territory!” Do you hear yourself? Do you not understand why people would be outraged at that?

Yitzchak Goodman@yitzgood.bsky.social

People killed by percent in Genocides: Tutsis in Rawanda 70 - 80% Selk'nam 84 – 97% Armenians in Ottoman territory 50% or more Moriori 90 – 95% Herrero 80% Nama 50% European Jews 67% (6 million) Bosnians in Srebrenica: 33% For perspective: Gazans 3.5%

people got mad at me yesterday when i said the dems were not ready to take court reform seriously. 5-4 for non-racial citizenship is not a win, it's a reprieve bsky.app/profile/schu...

Despite Trump’s best efforts to bully them, the Supreme Court just reaffirmed that if you are born in America, you belong in America.

the thing about greenblatt is that this is a dude who watched elon musk give a "heil hitler" and then said "looks like nothing to me." why would anyone take him seriously?

You know very well that 85% of Jews don't support AIPAC, not even close. You also know that AIPAC doesn't even claim to be a Jewish group. You also know that there are more "Christian Zionists" in the US, than there are Jews, of any beliefs. You are making US Jews less safe.

Devastating: Hampshire College is permanently closing following the Fall 2026 Semester. A beautiful institution & community that has done so much for so many. My child is a current Hampshire senior. Hampshire's approach to education is so unique, humane, & exciting—I've seen it first hand. Tragic

This is half the point of Ursula K Le Guin’s The Dispossessed! Being a leftist or even living in a utopian society doesn’t free you from the everyday pettiness and social conflict that come with just being a human being who exists around other human beings, especially when ambition is involved.

Replying to @rincewind.run

she didn’t throw trans people under the bus and she thinks republicans are the scum of the earth and that’s good enough for me

agree with this (hah) but also think a particular mistake the left made for a long time online, and still makes to an extent, is failing to understand that the person whose mind you may actually change is the one reading the argument you're having, not the one you're arguing with

Ana Marie Cox@anamariecox.com

The secret to engaging in social media debate is knowing you will never win anyone over. The best you can hope for is to have people who already agree with tell you you're awesome. You might great a dopamine thrill from the righteousness of your anger! Fine benefits, all. But you will never win.

The real “domestic terrorists” are in the White House. The victim, Alex Jeffrey Pretti, was reportedly a law abiding US citizen & an ICU nurse at the VA. He was licensed to carry a firearm. Trump & Miller are responsible for his killing & are now lying to the American people.

Senator Chris Van Hollen@vanhollen.senate.gov

Another brutal killing by Trump’s ICE agents. Trump, Vance, Noem, Miller, & the whole morally depraved crew have blood on their hands. These killings are happening at their direction. They must be held accountable. Congress must cut-off funding for these heinous acts NOW!

Don Heban reposted

Seth Moulton is calling for ICE to be prosecuted in no uncertain terms. This is becoming a foundational political agreement for anyone seeing to oppose the regime. We need the broadest possible coalition all united about the necessity of caging these fucking monsters.

Bovino shamelessly lies: "This looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement"

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)

I thought people were exaggerating, but no, it really is the case that liberal politicians posting platitudes about the Nazi Youth youtuber never posted anything about Melissa Hortman

And one important caveat: shit science research is mostly published in shit journals that no-one reads. Occasional clunker gets through, but peer review and journal reputation are generally effective screens against bad science.

Michael Hobbes@michaelhobbes.bsky.social

Also, 30,000 fake papers out of 1 million+ does not indict or threaten science as a whole. This entire "science is in crisis from within" narrative is a right-wing myth.

Timothy McVeigh raised the profile of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building

NBC News@nbcnews.com

In just two months on the job, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has raised the profile of autism. But many autistic people say Kennedy is perpetuating harmful stereotypes.

The left doesn’t actually need to make every decision based on what the voters currently support or what is currently possible. The conservatives in power enacted their extremely unpopular ideas over decades of chipping away at norms and building coalitions. You can just believe in things!

ICE threatening charges against people for asking supposed officers to show their badges is weakness. Not succeeding where they hoped to, left relying on threats that likely won’t go anywhere in court (harassment isn’t nothing, but it’s limited). It’s a sign to resist their abuses more, not less.
