Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 29/07/2026DOJ asserted that argument in at least one case, OCA-Asian Pacific American Advocates v. Rubio 131
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Also: Call me crazy but maybe if we’re going to base our law on history papers submitted to courts the history papers in question should be written by historians who use the historical method. 021
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Reminds me of this explanation in a prep book from (year redacted) 000
Reposted by Noah"Online Rent-a-Sage" Bret Devereaux @bretdevereaux.bsky.social · 08/04/2026So apparently the ceasefire deal includes Iran continuing to charge tolls (split with Oman) on transit through the Strait, as reported by the NYT, AP and others. If that's true, I have a hard time seeing this as anything other than a capitulation by Trump. Just abject surrender. 561144230
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Wild guess but I think “feudal” refers to being in a fight with someone. Hope this helps! :) 010
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 01/04/2026Yes, and also ask him why he’s chewing ice while arguing at SCOTUS 000
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 31/03/2026If only there were some historical precedent we could consult 000

Reposted by NoahJoel S. @joelhs.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Israel simply does not have the power to force the US government to do something it does not want to do. What Rubio is doing here, by claiming Israel forced the US hand, is making Israel the scapegoat for a US policy he knows is unpopular. This framing is going to be so bad for Diaspora Jews. 481018279
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026I think it’s concerning to suggest that ethnic groups have loyalties (or have some inherent tendency to have loyalties) to foreign interests, particularly when it comes to ethnic groups historically targeted on that precise basis. 100
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Based on Netanyahu’s actions I presume they’d find some agreement among Likud 100
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026So, just the Jews then? Or did you have some particular Zoroastrian Zionists in mind? 210
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Also, in fact, most Zionists aren’t Jews. This is a function of the antisemitic thread of the Christian evangelical movement, which is much larger than the global Jewish population. 110
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Yes, very weird that Jews are touchy about accusations of dual loyalty! How crazy! 110
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Do you think that when a group says “no Zionists” they are effectively banning Jews? 100
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Surely it follows that if we Jews can’t be trusted to be as loyal to America as “normal” Americans, we must be a national security risk. 100
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Which ethnicities specifically do you think should be treated presumptively as national security risks? 100
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026And, regardless, I don’t think your assertions are true either generally or specifically about Jews. The notion that Jews, or any other group, can never be truly part of the community in which they live is a horrific and fundamentally racist concept. 011
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Except that the attacks on Jews for “dual loyalty” is, along with similar attacks on Asian Americans, uniquely situated in a context of bigotry and used as justification for violence. But why let history or context get in the way! 121
Reposted by NoahSTEMthebleeding @stemthebleeding.bsky.social · 11/02/2026So in case anyone doubted, trackAIPAC really should just be called TrackJewish, because to them all donations from Jewish groups are the same. So all of you who believed them out of hand - you got conned. 315775
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Or at a minimum kicking your feet and giggling over the terror of what appears to be a random and unnamed civilian, whose politics seem to be entirely unknown 110
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Kinda sounds like you do support collective punishment, you just don’t want to say it. 210
Noah @nbaron.bsky.social · 02/03/2026Yeah the issue isn’t whether he’s “qualified” à la resume; it’s the alarming Nazi stuff 010
