Since you're terrified of clearly stating with what you think biden should have done, perhaps engage with what you want the next democratic president should do. I want a complete end to all military support for Israel, I assume you agree?

shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

Right the argument is pretty explicitly that the war was prolonged because Biden was too mean to Israel. Putting aside that multiple ex Biden officials disagree with McGurk's claim from the Atlantic piece, this is pretty clearly an argument for being nicer to Israel?

One way France tried to violently assimilate Algerian Jews was by closing down private synagogues and replace them with large ones controlled by the French state and led by French rabbis (Arabs of the Jewish Faith; Schreier, Joshua)

Okay, seriously, what the fuck is this?
The top of the Google results when I went looking to see just what Mamdani's tweet that mentioned the Talmud actually said (a search for "mamdani talmud"). This top search reasult appears to link to Mamdani's Twitter account ("NYCMayor" on "X"), then has a truncated header ("Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani on ...") and then it has a vile lying antisemitic screed that ABSOLUTELY DID NOT COME FROM MAMDANI and I can only assume is some typical-for-Elon's-Nazi-website antisemitism someone wrote *about* Mamadani's post, but it's presented in the Google search results as if it's from Mamdani.

(text of the screed below, if you want to read it)
The Talmud teaches that the best of Gentiles should be killed, Jesus is boiling in excrement, and that non-Jewish souls are inferior and impure.
Read more

Mamdani's post, linked from that vile preview, in full (but a screenshot, so it doesn't include the video). Text below:

The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Together, we will ensure Jewish New Yorkers are safe and celebrated. We will invest in their protection, their history, and their future.

Our safety and our thriving are tied together.

Including the basement, the home is more than 10,000 square feet, with eight bedrooms, five bathrooms and two garages, according to Davis County property records. It has a separate structure described as a
"racquetball court." The home was most recently assessed at a market value of $710,889. But Andersen
said the cost to build was roughly $1 million.

Senator Van Hollen is forcing a vote on his 502B resolution TONIGHT. It would force the U.S. State Department to conduct a comprehensive review of Israeli human rights abuses and release that to Congress and the public. Tell your senators to vote yes at the link below imeupolicy.org/exposeisrael

The resolution, backed by 23 senators, would direct the State Department to report within 30 days on investigations into killings of US citizens by Israeli settlers or forces, and on Israel's detention of Palestinian children. Without it, US assistance to Israel would be automatically terminated.

To quote a @chrislhayes.bsky.social jape at the Roberts Court: "They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one."
Steve Vladeck, a professor a Georgetown Law, writes up breaking developments from the Supreme Court. The last post in the three-post thread is the kicker, for our purpose here.

"#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the third-country removals case; clears way for Trump admin. to continue removing non-citizens without a full chance to litigate the conditions in those countries (while also taking up the full merits appeal).
