Sukkot (with or without a nor’easter) reminds us how precarious we are — and that the best way to find protection is not thicker walls or AI-guided weapons, but by welcoming guests & strangers, remembering what is sacred, and working for shared safety. Chag Sukkot Sameach!

@hcrichardson.bsky.social said something very similar in her politics chat tonight www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6Px...

...that there's been a fabulous fascinating study about people who ended up joining Hitler versus not joining Hitler. And they often look very similar on the surface in terms of economics and um education and so on. But the people who ultimately didn't just said I can't. It's not that I'm making the decision not to, but that that's not who I am. I can't. that that is that is a fundamental rejection of who I am as a person. I can't do that. It's not that I won't it's that I can't. And I think we are seeing that those sorts of people becoming more and more prominent simply saying I can't do that. But that raises the question of why so many people in positions of power said yeah I can.

John Lovett is Jewish. I assumed growing up with stories of pogroms was standard fare for all Jews. I'm kind of shocked at the knowledge of how many people seem to not actually know what a blood libel is

mimi @mimi-k.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

and @timmiller.bsky.social called blood libel "an old testament thing" on the bulwark. it's horrifying

if you're getting at the point that Piker thinks Israel shouldn't exist while Lander does, yes, I agree, those differences are true. But I don't think Piker was trying to misrepresent Lander's position by saying 'is' that way, and clearly he doesn't think Lander should be treated like a Nazi.

100

mimi @mimi-k.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I'm not sure there's much point to arguing over what the definition of "is" is, but my main argument with what you originally said is that Piker thinks we should treat Lander the same as a Nazi, and clearly that part is wrong. Wishig you well, I think we probably agree on more than we disagree

sorry to burst your bubble www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Lander went on: “I was proud to attend. As a Jewish New Yorker, I protest when I believe people are perverting Judaism to justify ethnic cleansing and exclusion, and I feel solidarity for Muslims who are doing the same.”

He reiterated his critical stance on Israel’s actions in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon, and noted that he gets “criticized frequently by centrist and rightwing Jews. And as someone who nonetheless believes in the vision and the possibility of a Jewish and democratic Israel, alongside a free Palestine, once decades of occupation and apartheid end, I get criticized by leftwingers who oppose Zionism.”

mimi @mimi-k.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I'm sorry if you were under the impression that Brad Lander didn't talk openly about Israeli occupation, but that's literally why he won a primary against a very popular rep who was aligned with Lander about literally every other issue besides this one

mimi @mimi-k.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

All this is a lot easier when you get your opinions about people from the people themselves. I've heard Brad Lander talk about Israel in person many times, and I watch Hasan Piker. It makes it easier to know exactly how he gets unfairly taken out of context

mimi @mimi-k.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

No, you're absolutely right. Here's the quote from the link gemini provided: www.haaretz.com/us-news/2026...

"Brad Lander is a great example," Piker says. "The way Brad communicates about these issues is very thoughtful. It's very empathetic to the Palestinian plight, and that's, I think, part of the reason why they've smeared him heinously. They've even questioned his Judaism. But ultimately, I find Brad Lander to be a reliable person that I can lean into because as long as he openly states that Israel is an occupation and he is going to seek out solutions to end that occupation, we are directionally on the same side."

mimi @mimi-k.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

you're right, that was easy to search

AI Overview Hasan Piker praised New York City Comptroller Brad Lander as a thoughtful and empathetic progressive leader whom he considers a reliable political ally.Key Views on Brad LanderSupport and Trust: In an August 2026 interview with Haaretz, Piker referred to Lander as a "reliable person that I can lean into".Empathy for Palestinians: Piker highlighted that Lander—who identifies as a liberal Zionist—communicates in a very thoughtful way that shows empathy toward the Palestinian plight.Defending Against Backlash: Piker believes that this empathetic communication style is the main reason Lander faces severe political attacks and unfair smears from critics.
