It's zero sum thinking. In order for Palestinians to thrive, Israelis must suffer, and in proportion to Palestinian thriving. These people, Hamas, and the Kahanists all agree.

This will not free Palestine. Human beings are not mascots to be cheered or jeered. They are universes. Each innocent murdered on October 7th was a universe. Each innocent murdered in the years since was a universe. Let's fight for justice and peace, not further dehumanization. זכרונם לברכה

Can we also talk about how these people love to act like choosing to mainline atrocity footage from their couches grants them the moral status of survivors and entitles them to the same considerations? Because a lot of them do this and it’s creepy and offensive as hell.

there’s a reason that ben Gvir and his fellow ghouls absolutely love showing that footage to people. Because watching people commit atrocities on repeat is a good way to make you forget that repaying atrocities with atrocities just doubles the corpses

Black text on white background 
"This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers. It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7. On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others. We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.
 
The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians—including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them – all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.
 
Three years later, we must refuse to accept a world in which occupation and apartheid continue, where war crimes are met with impunity, and our federal government continues its complicity with every arms shipment.
 
To honor the dead, we must fight for a world in which every person can live with freedom, safety, and dignity."

We need honesty about the fact that “pro-Palestine” is not a unifying cause. Some people are in it because they’re earnestly committed to human rights. Some people are in it because they hate Jews and think the wrong people are being genocided. These groups have nothing in common.

I’m at a point where I feel like the best thing that could happen with this “movement” is for them to stick with these antics until they’ve destroyed all credibility with any reasonable and decent person and we can start again with people who don’t suck. This cause deserves better than these clowns.

I feel like I’m seeing a whole lot of male AOC fans very confident that she could be elected president in 2028, while the female ones are…less optimistic. I’d like to believe the guys are right but, sadly, I’m with with my own gender cohort on this one.

Furthermore, if you’re a comedian who lacks the self-awareness to know that no joke you can make about Dolly Parton’s boobs could ever be as funny as the jokes Dolly Parton made about Dolly Parton’s boobs, you just suck at your job in general.

Toddler has added olive and cream cheese sandwiches on rye to her repertoire of lunch favorites, along with canned sardines and mackerel. Allegations that she is secretly a 100-year-old zayde remain unbeaten.

From what I can gather, Platner grew up comfortably affluent but not super-rich and he’d have been around the super-rich at places like Hotchkiss. I suspect that comparison is how he’s been able to pretend, even to himself, that he’s The Little Guy.

I’m going to say ONE thing about Platner, then move on. A lot of lefties decided that antisemitism isn’t real, that it’s invented by zionists. So even when they discovered a LITERAL NAZI SYMBOL ETCHED SEMI-PERMANENTLY ON THEIR CANDIDATE’S BODY, they couldn’t see what was right in front of them./

They’re blockheads for sure but they’re not even necessarily that leftist. Some of them are, but the most consistent thing about Platner stans is the misogyny. They’re guys who think that the Democrats were ruined by too many angry women (yuck), when the rightful leaders are angry men (based).

I fear the dirtbags are winning because institutionalist/Schumerite Dems often appear to be too scared of Trump to fight him, too easily convinced to bear-hug Netanyahu and fund police and avoid confrontations involving ICE. The dirtbags are registering with voters as the only pols willing to fight.

It’s so annoying that the MAHA crowd has made it so that *beef tallow* is the rendered animal fat that it’s now easy to obtain everywhere, when it’s actually the one with the fewest useful culinary applications. There were better choices! These people truly can’t do anything useful.

This is like calling “That’s so gay” Millennial slang. I mean, yeah, I guess so. And…the reason for that was because homophobia was rampant, normalized, and only beginning to be seriously challenged.

“Platner is a Regular Guy that Regular Guys would have a beer with!” Correct. He’s specifically the guy they’re warning their sisters to stay away from and watching to make sure he doesn’t have *too* many beers because he’s fun buzzed but a real asshole drunk and then shit gets weird and not fun.

Graham Platner is a dilettante adventurer reaping the benefits of both a privileged upbringing and his (unearned) image as an average working class man. I wrote about how these converge to grant him impunity www.liberalcurrents.com/graham-platn...

But seriously. I’m kinda like this about the Weston Price Foundation but google them. Massie, RFKJr., Andrew Wakefield, every kook and charlatan who has worked to destroy public health and promote health pseudoscience is involved with them. And they’re a huge influence in the tradwife movement.

I’d consider the system pretty broken if childhood vaccination rates were even lower than they are now, some basic vaccines were impossible to obtain, and there were no restrictions on the sale of unpasteurized milk. And that’s what would be happening if every Republican were like Massie.

We are going to see antisemetism as the glue of some effective red-brown coalitions going into 2028. You are seeing the beginnings of it with Platner's footsie with right wing antisemites combined with the conspiratorial way he talks about AIPAC money controlling the government.

People try to break down the Midwest into states and evaluate them accordingly but I maintain that the better way to think of it is to divide it into just two regions: Lake Midwest and Corn Midwest. Lake Midwest generally rules. Corn Midwest generally sucks. There are few exceptions.

Most parents of a kid with actual ARFID aren’t going to persist in these recs to the point of starving them. They will instead conclude that they don’t work for them. If anyone’s actually persisting to the point of serious harm, there are things going on there that a label on a book won’t fix.

My hot take about this discourse is a) it’s good that we’re more aware of things like ARFID and extreme food sensitivities in some kids now and b) extreme cases should not be weaponized to imply that sensible advice about encouraging a balanced diet for kids is worthless, let alone abusive.
