this is something I do worry about, not because I think the GOP are even doing this necessarily--but because I think that on the left we are uniquely vulnerable to giving up in disillusionment if our wildest dreams don't come 100% true.

Remember that “zio” is a term coined by literal neo-Nazi David Duke to refer to all Jews. If you want to talk about Zionists (a group which, btw, contains millions of Christians) just say “Zionists.”

To use everyone's favorite phrase, I wrote about why the reported attempt to denaturalize Ilhan Omar is outrageous as an American and yes As A Jew for @forward.com forward.com/opinion/8561...

Whatever you think of Ilhan Omar, these threats are unconscionable
American Jews should oppose the intimidation and denaturalization of the Minnesota Congresswoman

Discworld QOTD, from Small Gods
The Ephebians believed that every man should have the vote (provided that he wasn't poor, foreign, nor disqualified by reason of being mad, frivolous, or a woman). Every five years someone was elected to be Tyrant, provided he could prove that he was honest, intelligent, sensible, and trustworthy. Immediately after he was elected, of course, it was obvious to everyone that he was a criminal madman and totally out of touch with the view of the ordinary philosopher in the street looking for a towel. And then five years later they elected another one just like him, and really it was amazing how intelligent people kept on making the same mistakes.

Your regular reminder that for DECADES, a consistent majority of the American public have told pollsters that undocumented immigrants living here for years should have a chance to "fix their papers." The "deport them all" crowd are the minority, and always have been.

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.
"I can confirm that tonight SpaceX has implemented a speed limit on Starlink terminals while in motion.

The limit currently applies to the StarShield “military package” and is set at 100 mph.

Our defense forces were not given notice of this limit, and this has resulted in the disruption of a number of missions.

It is clear that this action cannot be a coincidence and is related to the current political situation."

Somali naming conventions, an explainer. Somalis middle and last names are the names of their patrilineal line. Most Somalis can name at least 5 names if asked if raised in the culture. So it's particularly egregious when people are so fucking racist as to claim Omar married her brother. 1/2

An important bit of immigration law which is relevant here; there is already a waiver process — Section 212(k) of the INA — by which immigrants who obtain status through fraud that they didn't know about can avoid consequences like losing a green card. So this is *even weaker* than it already seems.

There is a cacophony of noises out there. Russians planning to assassinate European officials, the US president riding to Vladimir Putin's aid, the Russians increasingly targeting Ukrainian civilians to break their will. The one constant tune? Russia is getting desperate.

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.

Fixed it for Trump.
Trump's post announcing a diesel deal with Russia. I've covered up false claims he made with grey boxes, and in yellow text written what is true, including that "receiving bribes from Vladimir Putin" is his greatest priority.
