That this is in THE WASHINGTON POST is almost too much irony to bear.

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.

I share your concern, @djrothkopf.bsky.social, that after the election in Israel, we will find that the problem is Israeli society, not merely Bibi. Anti-Palestinian hatred reaches far down into that society. From Haaretz. "Hating Arabs isn't racism; it's values."

This is ADL's solitary statement after Nazis won state elections in Germany for the first time since the Holocaust:

none of the people complaining about el-sayed saying this actually think it's a bad message. most Americans have agreed that 9/11 was cynically used to get us into a pointless war that cost untold lives for close to two decades now. what they are actually objecting to is a Muslim talking about 9/11.

It is simply not realistic to insist that your political opponents in a fight over a seventy-year old apartheid/occupation also constantly validate the innocence of your own position, and the "Liberal Zionist" insistence on this is just pathetic. At some point you have to accept your own beliefs.

I would appreciate if American Jewish institutions stopped this pathetic mewing about how saying accurate but mean things about their emotional-support ethnostate hurts their feelings and did something about the myriad problems facing our community.

i just cant understand why voters are flocking to outsider candidates instead of sticking with the establishment picks

The fact that no one in the mainstream press (or, more understandably, on the knives-out city council) seems to think SPD bears any culpability for inaccurate information SPD has put out and for SPD's actions on Sunday night is bonkers, and goes to show how differently this mayor is being treated.

The league has to get rid of this Dundon guy. He bought the Blazers to hold the city of Portland hostage for arena money and now he's telling all of his underlings to shittalk the city so he can move to Kansas City or something. Cut this shit out or the league will be held hostage by similar ghouls.

Imagine going through life expecting that everything should be geared to your personal knowledge base. I think everyone I follow here occasionally says something I don't understand or makes a reference I don't get. That's how you learn!

Michigan school board official Angie Smith says she’s supporting Haley Stevens because she thinks Stevens will represent everyone and “not just one race." "Don’t come out speaking only Arabic, don’t come out with your Arabic music on.” Video from reporter Sam Robinson:

AIPAC’s Michigan Senate primary ads sound strikingly similar to centrist, pro-Israel candidate Haley Stevens’ campaign memos. Coincidence? Not at all. Mehdi breaks it down. Subscribe to zeteo.com so you never miss Mehdi’s coverage youtu.be/3_pMnsHFgAA

Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal.

Haley Stevens flew a banner over Abdul El-Sayed's Grand Rapids rally. The banner said El-Sayed should "release his PDF." The Stevens campaign edited to images to say "PFD" (personal financial disclosure), posted it online, and got caught. Millions from AIPAC and she can't afford spell check!

House progressives lead the charge to support this week’s amendment to cut off aid to the Israeli government. The United States must stop our complicity in the genocide of the Palestinian people. This is one of the biggest moral fights of our time.

Reminder: there's NO legitimate use for crypto. Its only practical uses are tax evasion, money laundering, fraud, specualtion, and crime. No Democrat should vote for the so-called CLARITY Act, a bill backed by the crypto lobby that would make this Ponzi scheme even worse.

El-Sayed: Shouldn't be this hard to pay your taxes and know that that money is going to be spent on you rather than to drop bombs on somebody else and their kids

so he’s saying his and his party’s total control of all branches of government is illegitimate?

performatively telling one of your major factions to shut the fuck up because their ideas are bad and you hate them, on the other hand--

The Democratic establishment/corporate Democrats/AIPAC Democrats are all in on a concerted effort to slander Abdul El-Sayed by lying about his record. Don’t let them get away with it.

hink about your obituary, people: Lindsey Graham on Gaza: "Just flatten it, like we flattened Tokyo and Berlin." Lindsey Graham on the Iran War: "We are going to make tons of money." Lindsey Graham on Renée Nicole Good: "She deserved what happened. She provoked ICE."

Man, nothing makes the state of politics more apparent than when a warmongering monster who actively made life worse for millions of people dies and the supposed resistance party stalwarts come out of the woodwork to talk about how they’re going to miss their friend they had so much fun with.

Lindsay Graham and I often disagreed on whether you should overturn Democratic elections, starve the hungry, bomb anyone and bomb everyone dark, but nevertheless I hope his loved ones stay off the internet and the rest of you have some fun.

Rep. Ro Khanna says he was detained by Israeli settlers during West Bank visit.

I’ll share it, because I think this rampant anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry is not only accepted by a dying wing of our party but being used to win primaries (see Abdul). It’s on us to see it, shun it, and protect our coalition.

this is like the literal opposite of true. the most fruitful eras of the modern democratic party coincided with periods where the walls separating political radicals from the mainstream were way less solid

Do you actually believe in your heart that this is true? I spent countless hours traveling the nation for Kamala. I sit on House Democratic leadership working to flip the house. You may disagree with an endorsement I make, but don’t confuse a disagreement for some BS narrative some want to sell you.

The USA can still win if Mike Pence has the courage.

I can't believe I have to say this but the point is not "corrupt World Cups are not new". It's that this specific World Cup has been a succession of "f**k yous" to various parts of the global football community, and this is the latest one. And I doubt it will be the last.

Well then, the US team is now straight up cheating

Other countries that are jealous of Trump intervening with FIFA on behalf of a U.S. player should instead focus on winning the next FIFA Peace Prize.

FIFA is corrupt. Trump is corrupt. Together they are tainting the game. I only hope the US loses soon and this stain on the entire event is erased.

It’s a rollicking shambolic shitshow, every day, all the time. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I know in my heart they’ll get to “jews did this to the weather” before the night is up

This is the most purely anti-American thing I've ever heard a politician say, but the media is too obsessed with 3 DSA candidates winning local elections in NY to pay any attention I guess.

Experts on genocide have concluded that what Israel is doing in Gaza is genocide. You wrote a book about the undermining of expertise being a result of people’s narcissism and over-confidence in their own abilities. Perhaps some self-reflection is overdue.
