I'll never get past the surreal absurdity of an 80 year old man who has made a 50 year old gay anthem (to everyone but the guy who sang it) his theme.

The 7th Oct was the biggest single-day massacre in the modern history of Palestine/Israel. It was followed by the most lethal campaign in the history of the country. In the last three years, Israel inflicted a 7 Oct on Gaza every three weeks on average (in absolute terms; more in relative terms).

Maybe the most culturally connected I feel to Mayor Mamdani is that every single progressive Jew has also been called both a Zionist stooge and a Hamas stooge by people on opposite sides.

The siege of Mariupol saw 6,500 Russian fatalities, and 906 Ukrainian KIA. To date, Israeli *combatant* fatalities number less than 1,200. Gaza combatant fatalities *as reported by Israel* are somewhere <2,000. This was not war. It was murder.

The two main tendencies in national Israeli politics right now are "expulsion and annexation of the Palestinian territories" vs "civil separation under the authority of an Israeli police state", and virtually all mainstream US commentary simply refuses to engage with this.

Well well well, someone said the quiet part out loud

I remain deeply fascinated by this, because I guarantee that other issues have come up that have impacted him, personally, as much (if not more) than a data center. It's like someone turned on the subtitles for policy implications--but only for data centers. Just data centers. Nothing else.

This funny @statmodeling.bsky.social piece called it Jews are 2% of US electorate, 35% of which support the status quo Israeli occupation. That means all those news articles are about 0.7% of the US electorate (Jewish Americans who support it) lmao statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2026/07/26/t...

applying "Make ___ Great Again" to Germany really does kinda give the game away

my red line? my senator must ensure safe passage to The Zone of Interest

none of the people spitting on brad lander for identifying this way while loudly proclaiming that israel is committing genocide and he supports block the bombs would ever have the moral courage to allow their own views to evolve in a similarly drastic & necessary way

I have a question. By who? Which evil nation is crossing an ocean so they can engage in a land invasion of Canada?

Worth a read every year. But this year? For the 250th? It's scorching. Read it to you family or friends. Find a town square and read it out loud. Repost it. Nothing you hear today will frame this country better. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE, WITH A BUNCH OF SCRAPS

Anyway, the objectively correct account of Oct 7 — that the Palestinian armed factions had a legitimate casus belli but also acted in gross and shocking disregard for the laws of war — is a position that gets you yelled at by everyone

Khanna's campaign is going to be a perfect sponge to absorb all the worst losers on the left so AOC doesn't have to hire them

Man, it’s almost like the thing we’ve been saying would help actually helps! Time for UBI.

Merrick Garland hid this from us for 4 YEARS, and allowed this disgusting monster to be reelected

SNAP benefits should be universal, with zero means testing, and generous. Even from a purely capitalist perspective this would benefit the economy massively. The only reason to be against this is because you're pro-suffering.

It’s basically Deep Space Nine.
