the muslim hate in this country has become policy, but you don’t get 7,000 think pieces about how that makes american muslims feel.

Yes. Completely. Whether or not that would fit today's white luberal is debatable I suppose.

You called him a white moderate.

Leo @leoglickman.bsky.social · 12/10/2026
He's not. He's a conservative. When MLK called out white moderates, he meant the type who today are milquetoast Dems afraid of their own shadows.

I really feel for Liverpool fans. They've been so loyal to Manchester City in their battles with Arsenal, this must all feel like a betrayal to them

Can't help but think about every idiotic Liverpool supporter who cheer for Man City against other teams. Well done.

So, happy 89th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians—and someone concussed him with a brick

And btw the only information we have about this person's arrest record is from DHS. I don't think we should be blaming Mamdani based on uncorroborated statements from DHS.

Leo @leoglickman.bsky.social · 09/10/2026
Mayor Mamdani cannot simply decide that he will not enforce laws that have been passed by legislators who have been elected by the people of the State of NY. What you are saying is the deflection. The problem is us.

If you define the left as people who think innocent Israeli citizens deserve to be killed, you're wrong and probably ill-motivated. At any rate, out of respect I will leave this conversation, as I don't think it's healthy to use them as an argument in our country's left/neoliberal/right divide mess.

I was wrong about that. See my response to Kitty.

Leo @leoglickman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
OK, you are correct and I was wrong, the poster is not a random, anonymous poster. They have many followers on line. That does does not make them a representative of "the left", and as a DSA grassroots organizer and civil right lawyer, I can tell you that attitude is not representative of real life

Hey "newsguy"... this isn't news.

Leo @leoglickman.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
And here we go again, using one shitheaded anonymous poster to discredit the left. By using the victims of 10/7 as props for your petty political point, you too disrespect the dead. And another thing. Your definition of left and right is wrong and empowers the right.

What happened to these boys, seriously? Among other things, how did they become so inured to human suffering? Like the people of Douma are part of a game for them to play. Is it the internet or social media that has desensitised people?

one of the ways the media shows which side they prefer, is which politicians they quote uncharitably out-of-context and which they clean up for even when what they actually say and do is offensive (the Biden story ran on the front page less than a week before the 24 election)

Sorry man, probably shouldn't have said anything at all. In the near term we have to beat Trump and his acolytes, longer term, we need to dissuade our fellow Americans from these fascist tendencies, and George Bush isn't going to be a part of that. He's not fascist, but he normalized some sick shit.

Leo @leoglickman.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
I laugh. Levity is critical. It's just that as an active person in the anti Iraq War movement, and even seeing today how he's raising money for fascist party candidates, it's hard to think he's funny.

As much as I hate to admit it, Randy Mastro has been a very successful lawyer for his clients. But like other smart lawyers, you wonder if their arrogance as they get older will get in the way of good judgment.

In most Jewish communal situations, there is zero security cost. Zero. Yes, some large or high profile institutions? Sure. But where my spouse attends kol nidre, for example, there is no security and no security concerns. And that is true for most jewish communal spaces, at least in nyc and nys.

Leo @leoglickman.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Jewish communal life goes on and in most places there is no security cost. And where there is it is often an over-reaction to threats.
