Working for Robert Kennedy Jr. and this Trump administration as a political appointee should be an automatic blackball from academia and mainstream medical orgs.

I wrote about the Trump administration attempting to deport an anti-Zionist Hasidic Jew to Israel, and what it says about the conditions of Jewish identity imposed by the administration's "anti-antisemitism" campaign. religiondispatches.org/2026/10/01/t...

Left critics esp - bc they think perhaps of themselves as reasonable - tend to discount just how much Christian messianism has been a shaping foundation of the US and Anglophone empire

I really think a lot of people underestimate the damage done to society by the conviction that, no matter what product we want, it should be delivered to us in a matter of hours.

They don't think *women* are very serious. And the good men seem to agree. White allies risk their lives confronting ICE; Jews lose jobs & family ties confronting Zionism. But men? They actually have the power to stop gov't by misogyny, and they sit around powdering their noses instead.

Ella Baker said the charismatic leader often becomes a leader through the media and “gets to the point of believing that he is the movement.” “Such people get so involved with playing the game of being important that they... don’t do the work of actually organizing people.”

People like Tim here don’t understand that just like being in NJ magically makes pumping your own gas dangerous (except during Covid), being in NY means your public school diploma is meaningless if you don’t take an exit exam.

I had better (heteronormative) sex ed in the suburbs in the 80s/90s than my kids had in NYC in the 10s/20s. I was given detailed instructions on birth control and STI protection and my kids were given prompts for shaming their friends out of having sex.

Lots of thoughts on the reactions to the Nikole Hannah-Jones article from this weekend. Overall, it’s incredibly powerful and real. This is less about her narrative, and more about the bizarre reactions. Made a vid because people don’t read anymore 😢

not for nothing, the thing that kills dems image isn't 'oh they support trans people' it's 'people, including many dem voters, think dems are spineless, cowardly, wimpy, and don't actually stand for anything' standing for trans rights corrects that. beshear won in *kentucky* without flinching.

remember when liberals were willing to boycott north carolina over that shit and actually called out how bad it is and it worked? why, it's almost like the general public isn't actually instinctively and inherently bigoted towards us and can be persuaded and moved by messaging and action.

The most depressing outcome from my time as a parent leader advocating for admissions reforms to make middle and high schools more uniformly accessible was watching “nice, liberal” parents team up with rabid racists and transphobes to protect the status quo.

I think that using pop culture celebrities as proxies for accountability in the face of ineffectual, corrupt and apathetic leadership is a great way to give yourself high blood pressure in exchange for literally zero measurable political or material change

Firing him over statements critical of Israel in 2026 is cause for grave concerns about protecting speech critical of Israel and Zionism regardless of whether 12 year old photos (which he apologized for at the time) indicate the possibility that his anti-Zionism is rooted in antisemitism.

Every day I contemplate the fact that we still don't know what causes left-handedness. Ages ago we as a society decided it was totally normal and stopped punishing and ostracizing kids for it. Today the thought of being anti-left-handedness is bonkers to us. This is a post about trans kids.

importantly, these people do not question the Jewishness of pro-Israel Jews who are not religiously observant or eat treyf etc. These attacks are incorrect as a matter of Jewish law, but they are also disingenuous because the only factor they actually consider a red line is support of Israel.
