Significant numbers of leftists think Mayor Mamdani has betrayed the left by putting out an anti-antisemitism plan at all, and groups that claim to fight antisemitism like the ADL are giving Mamdani zero credit because he has not suddenly endorsed Zionism, and I am caught between and I am tired.

More than ever, we need more walkable neighborhoods. The rapid rise of WFH and Covid generally breaking modern society means a *lot* of people touch grass way less often than they used to. A 20-minute walk, even to nowhere in particular, can do wonders.

#308: Max Clemens von Hausen and Ortwin Rave, Chapel of the Arnold Janssen Kolleg, Münster (1965)
A black-and white exterior photo showing, on the right, a round chapel building in front of a narrow pyramidal tower and, on the left, a concrete plaque that reads "Arnold-Janssen-Kolleg." Photo via German Postwar Modern on Tumblr, https://germanpostwarmodern.tumblr.com/post/165890993964/arnold-janssen-kolleg-1965-in-m%C3%BCnster-germanyA round worship space with incised concrete walls and two levels of stained-glass clerestory windows. The roof structure is star-shaped, with a sculptural central block that looks to my eyes a bit like lego. Two rows of pews approach the altar, in a way that suggests the space may actually be oval rather than round. Photo by Angelika Brockmann-Peschel/LWL-DLBW via Heinrich Otten, Knut Stegmann, and Michael Huyer, "Kirchenbau nach 1945. Entwicklung und Bestand in Westfalen-Lippe"  An exterior photo of the chapel and, behind it, the impossibly skinny tower. The rest of the Kolleg was torn down in 2011, and the chapel is now a Seventh-Day Adventist church. Photo by Hobusch via Wikimedia Commons

The Stop The Settlements Act would "prohibit anyone from importing any goods produced, wholly or in part, in any Israeli settlements or outposts in the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) or Gaza" like the UK's recently announced ban. It would also impose a comprehensive sanctions regime.
What the Bill Would Do:
Sanctions:
• The Stop the Settlements Act requires the President to sanction any foreign entity or individual that:
o Is responsible for, complicit in, or directly or indirectly engaged or attempted to engage in the
establishment of new Israeli settlements or outposts in the West Bank or Gaza on or after Sep 30,
2026
o Invests in or constructs infrastructure designed to facilitate the establishment of new Israeli
settlements or outposts or expand existing Israeli settlements or outposts
o Constructs or develops settlements in the area known as “E1,” a project that would cut the West
Bank in two and isolate East Jerusalem from the rest of the West Bank
o Facilitates the transfer of Israeli civilian population into Israeli settlements or outposts on or after
September 30, 2026
o Is a leader or official of any entity, including government entities, that has engaged in these
actions or of any entities sanctioned under this act.
• The bill would also allow for sanctions on any foreign entity or individual that:
o Participates in activities related to financing, planning, construction, expansion, or maintenance
of existing Israeli settlements or outposts that the President determines undermines the viability
of a future Palestinian state
o Assists, supports, or is owned or controlled by a sanctioned entity
• The sanctions to be imposed include revocation of visas, prohibitions on issuance of new visas, and the
blocking of a sanctioned entity’s assets that are in the jurisdiction of the United States.
• The bill includes the ability to waive sanctions for 12 months (renewable once), with reports to
Congress, and exemptions for humanitarian activities, in support of treaty obligations, and national
security activities.
Financial Crimes Enforcement Network Guidance:
• The Stop the Settlements Act would require the director of the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network to
issue guidance to financial institutions regarding the activities subject to sancti…

Recently, I did a wonderful interview with the indefatigable @emilystjams.bsky.social about trans people's online information environment and why there are very strong incentives to spread panic. It was a wide-ranging discussion that I think is more relevant than ever.

YOU hate Nader for throwing the 2000 election. I hate Nader for ushering in the era of Consumer as a primary political identity, touting the tort system as an alternative to normal democratic deliberation, and making things generally work worse in the USA.
