Israel isn't an ontological evil. There are plenty of countries that are much, much worse (most of whom are US adversaries). It is, however, an utter liability for the US and very obviously does more harm than good both for the US's public image and for American policymaking in MENA.

These are people who know exactly one line from the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and, after eschewing historical context as the weapon of the coward and also bravely misremembering what that one line actually says, conclude that white liberals were worse than the Klan

If we could figure out some quality or feature that was common to all the states where this happened or, conversely, common to all the states where this did not happen, that might help suggest a strategy to correct and/or prevent this

This is also completely ahistorical because before gay marriage happened nationwide it became legal in California and then was rolled back by prop 8 and this happened in a number of states. This *hasn’t* happened with trans rights in any blue states, so we’re actually ahead

Antisemitism is bad, yes, but it's not Jews who are dying in significant numbers, and avoiding antisemitism is a stumbling block in the way of saving lives, so too bad Is that not right, Norwich PhD guy

“antisemitism is actually bad for Palestine” debatable and actually who cares, the only people who should ever say that are Palestinians among themselves if they think it useful (Just like the reverse, I am an unapologetic fan of symmetric morality)

We should absolutely protect Jane Doe and talk about what we can learn from the failures before, during, and after the harm in this case, but we gotta keep pointing out that this is but one case in an overwhelming, gigantic sea of experiences like this.

But we have to be careful when this convo centers one case. The reason they want to dox this woman or focus on how many times her story changes (if it even does) or worry over the ruined lives of the men involved is because you can pick apart a single case. Everyone will find it in what they want.

Gendered violence is a systemic cultural and societal problem. And when one of these cases boils to the top, you can see that in how many survivors come forward to explain how similar their experiences are, in ways both big and small.

It is deeply annoying to have to go “antisemitism is real, but most of the big names and orgs who talk about it are terrible” to people on every side of every political aisle. Sometimes with different emphasis, I grant you.

The reaction to this plane incident and Mamdani's recent video demonstrate the antisemitism problem on the left is very real and very widespread. It's disgusting and, frankly, works *against* the cause of Palestinian liberation despite what its perpetrators seem to think.

When people believe that institutions are incapable of doing the right thing, they will take matters into their own hands (this is a descriptive statement, not a prescriptive one) Whatever little legitimacy that Cornell had is gone. Nobody, not even Winston's parents can control what happens next.

Internet vigilantes are famous for getting things right. We had two discussions of how Reddit users got the identity of the Boston bomber wrong twice on Bluesky in September already. I do think this internet rage could've been avoided had Cornell taken swift disciplinary action on Winston Lee.

To restate what I wrote in the replies of my deleted thread, Threads users claim that Korean parents can be shamed into cutting bait with their kids if their family honor is sufficiently damaged. I think this infantilizes Winston Lee who is by all measures a legal adult who chose to do what he did

“To the ICE agent who took away my mother: I hope it was worth it,” wrote Samuel Gonzalez Terrones before taking his own life. This is the reality of what mass deportation looks like. Not only impacting those who are detained but also leaving a path of destruction for the family they leave behind.

His mom was detained by ICE. Two months later, he died by suicide
Samuel Gonzalez Terrones, 21, struggled with depression and schizophrenia. His mom's arrest by ICE became too much to bear.

the beauty is that these people don’t do anything. they don’t build political power. they don’t do electoral politics. they sit online and cry like fucking babies when people call out their jew-hating pseudo-left cult. it’s not punching left to degrade them. they aren’t even the left. not actually.

Dimly recalling my APD knowledge: third parties act as pressure groups, historically (e.g., Populist Party) But also, since the halcyon days of the Populist Party, we have since enacted the primary system, so again, unclear what a third party accomplishes that primary elections don't already

While I support some proposals to reform American elections to allow for more participation from independents or minor parties, modern American major parties are remarkably malleable institutions and you‘re usually better off finding or making space in one’s coalition.
