It's really that simple: the federal government want "Jewish" to be defined as holding specific policy attitudes

The chairman of Cox Enterprises, parent of the AJC, is using their news outlet to condemn Beltline rail. That's ridiculous. City leaders need to realize it as such. Arguing against rail transit in a city that's starved for its growth, and that is already funding it with a tax, is bad enough. 1/

Judith Butler on being named to a list of UC Berkeley faculty & students provided to the Department of Education to be investigated for anti-semitism, w/ zero transparency about what they're being accused of or by whom. Pure McCarthyism & totally indefensible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

How it started. How it’s going

Exclusive: The Justice Department told President Trump in May that his name is among many in the Epstein files.

what special insight does bari weiss have? what story did she break? what has she done other than pretend to be canceled? and the Free Press is barely a journalistic outlet. it is a penthouse letters page for reactionary gen xers

CC @mark-carney.bsky.social, you on this?

Can someone help me understand why Waller and Bowman support decreasing the FFR as soon as July when expectations for core PCE inflation are ~3% by year-end?

Again and again, the Free Press spent years complaining about illiberalism and when confronted with the first truly authoritarian government of our lifetimes went from being soft apologists to full throated endorsers

I did not edit this, this is the actual parade with the actual music being played. CINEMATIC

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

This is exactly why Emily Oster is bad.

The most bizarre thing about the COVID School Closure Discourse is how commentators take it for granted that closing schools had no effect on transmission or deaths but that's not at all what the evidence says.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Some of the most chilling 2 minutes you've ever seen. Look at what's being said, openly, on one of the most popular TV channels in Israel. History is happening in front of our eyes. Don't look away. Please help share this widely. Read the full story here: zeteo.com/p/inside-the...

Its a Shanda that this crap happens in the YIVO building and the legacy of the Bundists who sweated, bled and died for YIVO and its archive will be rescued in the coming decades- mark my words.

This coalition is about using Jews to gain power, not about protecting Jews. bsky.app/profile/moir...

Liberal institutions keep dispensing with liberal values on this one issue. I’m as annoyed with Gen Z’s nihilism as anybody but it’s not hard to see where it’s coming from.

JUST IN: Judge HOWELL rules forcefully in favor of Perkins Coie against Trump's punitive executive order, comparing him to a Shakespearean character who famously called to "kill all the lawyers" in order to amass power. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

“the body of one of the dead had been found with his hands tied”

The first thing I am doing is joining other Jewish Americans in signing this petition. www.bendthearc.us/release_khalil

I'm sure the Free Speech Warriors are all over this. Oh wait sorry I was huffing paint, I forgot for three seconds that they are craven grifters with less intellectual consistency than Charles Manson getting offered a record deal.

bari weiss once again proving that she believes in absolutely nothing. also, in the piece itself, hanania says that all of this is a reaction to "wokeness." it's a great example of how backlash narratives can work to obscure agency.

more and more people are saying

Started / going

Maybe Trump *will* get us lower interest rates after all /s

Can someone tell @andreforatlanta.com?

Apparently Joe (Biden) is a pretty good manager. Some stellar outperformance from the US under his leadership.

Does Reed O'Connor think ESG investing is impact investing? He suggested ESG "pursues a non-pecuniary interest as an end itself rather than as a means to some financial end." That's not ESG, dude.
