Mamdani literally just gave a speech on 9/11 that didn't mention the Afghanistan or Iraq wars or their innocent victims.

Israelis for Peace are anti-Likud, and anti-occupation. They want immediate and permanent end to the war, and they want Netayahu to go to the Hague for war crimes. The pro-pallies still treat them as enemies

This is just a relentlessly horrific story. It’s hard to adequately contextualize the moral desolation of this unfolding in the midst of a midterms against a ruling party helmed by inveterate rapists and rape apologists. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/congres...

Something ppl need to realize is that almost everyone in Israel--and a good chunk of Jews outside of Israel--knew someone who was seriously hurt or killed by Hamas during the Oct 7 Massacre. It's like if 9/11 killed multiple orders of magnitude more people per capita.

Yeah, I mentioned my friend earlier today and the fact he found out... by watching a livestream of someone he knew being murdered on Facebook. It's why things like the hostage posters being ripped down hurt so much - it was personal

There is going to be a need for a lot of policy work for Democrats and I'm glad to hear of initiatives like this. We need a multiplicity of voices and perspectives at the table...Democrats can't repeat Biden's mistake (which wasn't Harris's) of having only Elizabeth Warren staffers.

It's always been an insulting indicator of what is true in America; Anti black racism is considered a slightly impolite opinion, excused and unspeakable amongst family. The symbols of their belief not discussed but sure well known to those they aim at.

In the presidential immunity case, the court considered a hypothetical of a president ordering Navy Seals to assassinate an American political rival. Trump's lawyer argued unambiguously yes, since it'd be an "official act." The Roberts Court ruled in his favor, 6-3. Why wouldn't Trump believe this?

This is sexual violence as a form of terrorism. It is political violence and it is chilling and horrific, and AOC was absolutely right to be terrified that the goons (now pardoned) laying siege to the capital would rape her if they found her. Small changes won't fix this. FLIP THE TABLE NOW

That's funny, I don't recall the Mayor tacking on a condemnation of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan/Iraq onto his post about the anniversary of 9/11, much less one three times longer than the initial statement.

This from @stuarth2o.bsky.social says it better than I did.

FYI on a day of mourning, you don't shake the hand of someone who mourns their loss and say "sorry for your loss, but..."

Decent human beings don't add the "but" and the words after the but.

It's grotesque to do so.

Today, October 7th, is a terrible day for almost all Jewish people including me.

Respect their loss.

If you can't find words of comfort, don't say anything at all.

Thank you.

If you want to know why Jews are suspicious of you when you're just trying to be a well-meaning antizionist gentile, consider that these two things were written by the same man, Guangtian Ha, a (currently suspended) religion professor at Haverford

a passage from an article by guangtian ha that reads:

We make this call amidst growing concern about antisemitism on our campus. Questions have arisen in the context of a number of specific situations, including external influences from Lower Merion, from donors, and from some alumni who are hell-bent on defining the " ways to be Jewish. This, of course, flies in the face of thousands of years of Jewish tradition which is fundamentally based on interrogation, questioning, and truth-seeking. We take these attacks on our anti-Zionist Jewish community members seriously and we understand the real damage the state of Israel causes for the entire Jewish world when it claims to be acting on behalf of all Jews while engaging in horrific atrocities that - truth be told- mirror some of the worst stereotypes of Jews that have been a part of European racism for centuries. We will be clear: antisemitism should be unacceptable at Haverford, but the energy and consideration which some in our administration have granted these bad faith actors suggests otherwise.

a passage from a court document about guangtian ha that reads:

In or about January 2026, through in or about February 2026, defendant GUANGTIAN HA, using X account "America IstLM" posted a series of threatening and harassing messages directed at Victim 1, including the following:
a. "Jew, get the fuck out of my country"
b. "Jew pig, get the fuck out of Lower Merion"
c. "If jews are so special then they should also be placed in special camps and receive special treatments"
d. "LM jews are going to have it big time, jew. Remember this. You scums have had it too easy. Goyim are taking America back, blood-guzzling demons."

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

Basically the Leftist play was to get unelectable people as the nominees by knocking out and demonizing more centrist candidates, then abandon those nominees in the general, leading to a(nother) Republican win. And you all wonder why I say Leftists are Republicans ops?

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

I think, assuming we don’t just eliminate ICE/CBP entirely and reconstitute border checks under a separate agency or agencies, I think any shirking can be handled by massive RIFs and a public campaign of “they let the bad guys walk free because we wouldn’t let them shoot the tamale lady in the face”
