This feels disturbingly familiar. Almost like Israel is just copying the Colonial Playbook.

The Madagascar Plan was a proposal for Jewish settlement devised by the Nazi regime in the late 1930's.

On December 9, 1938, French Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet informed German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop that in order to rid France of 10,000 Jewish refugees it would be necessary to ship them elsewhere. At that time, the Nazi regime considered mass emigration to be the "Final Solution" to the "Jewish problem."

On March 5, 1938, the SS officer in charge of forced Jewish emigration, Adolf Eichmann, was commissioned to assemble material to provide the chief of the Security Police (SIPO) Reinhard Heydrich with "a foreign policy solution as it had been negotiated between Poland and France," i.e., the Madagascar Plan. Temporarily shelved in the wake of the war, the project was taken up again after the fall of France in the summer of 1940.

Eichmann prepared a detailed official report on the island of Madagascar and its "colonization" possibilities based on information gathered from the French Colonial Office. He added an evacuation plan calling for 4 million Jews to be shipped to Madagascar over a period of four years and also advocated the creation of a "police reserve" as a giant ghetto. The plan was to be financed by a special bank managing confiscated Jewish property and by contributions exacted from world Jewry.

The plan leaked out and was published in Italy in July 1940. In August 1940, the Third Reich officially endorsed the Madagascar Plan. Alarmed by the plan, the American Jewish Committee commissioned a special report, published in May 1941, that sought to demonstrate that Jews could not survive the conditions on the island. By that time, however, the Nazis were already well underway with a different "Final Solution" - the extermination program.

On February 10, 1942, only a few weeks after the Wannsee Conference, the Madagascar Plan was officially shelved and replaced in public policy statements with the lexicon of "evacuation to the East."

It feels like people are desperately seeking reasons to still think she sucks even though the facts don't bear that out. If hundreds of millions of people were saying something false about me and it ruined my life, I would want to respond!

I used to run an entire network of blogs. The server cost $600/month and the ads on my posts alone paid about $300/month. Eventually the ad revenue dropped while I got constant legal threats from quacks & copyright vultures. Now I run 1 blog with only my own posts for an archive when Patreon dies.

Literal years of disabled people BEGGING senators and MPs to listen to them that death would be offered before the necessary care, and they brushed us off. Only for the obvious inevitable to happen. We fucking told you. Multiple times. What now?!

I think “the president’s allies are promising to destroy media institutions the president doesn’t like to curry favor with him” is very bad, actually

We *know* shockingly little about prehistory—we *speculate* about it, in ways that tend to reaffirm our own assumptions and biases, and then these speculations become sage wisdom about human nature, but only to the exact extent that they assert that women evolved to make sandwiches.

We know that the right in the U.S. was funding those asshole truckers that tried an insurrection in Ottawa and blocked border points. During a recent trial the money trail was revealed where they got their funding. The current opposition leader is a U.S. 5th column member as is the Alberta Premier

I think it’s a pretty decent example of the rhetorical use of sexual violence by the political right, which is less about any real objection to the sexual abuse of women or children than it is about casting their enemies and target groups as embroiled in like dark conspiracies of deviance.

The thing about the Diddy verdict and the budget bill is that you can and should take both of them seriously. Powerful men getting away with violence isn’t a distraction from Trump and his administration. It’s the same thing powered by the same rhetoric and logic of abuse

People insist this was about “mean girls bullying an autistic guy,” but I’m autistic. I’ve talked about that publicly. But the empathy extended to autistic men for social awkwardness often doesn’t get extended to autistic women who express discomfort, whose tonal missteps are "cold" or "mean".

I’ll never get over how, in an era when women’s rights and status are being attacked and eroded in law and culture alike, we were incessantly told that it was boys and men whose suffering we needed to attend to.

tbh it confused me too and i think a lot of it just comes from the attitude of "how dare this person i've deemed an undesirable occupy this space that i pictured reserved for women i deem desirable. why can't they know their place?"

The idea that education is intended for girls and disadvantages boys is beyond ridiculous. Look at the history of education and how girls and women were prevented from accessing it. Girls are still penalized today for showing too many inches of skin because it’s a “distraction” to the boys

Poor Kimberlé Crenshaw, doing all that vital and hard work to illustrate how civil rights law didn’t adequately account for how racism and sexism are mutually constitutive and reinforcing, only to have illiterate antifeminists be like “actually intersectionality means that sexism doesn’t count.”

When people say they're using AI because they don't want to get professionally left behind in this era of tech I'm like you do realize the whole point of AI is to fire people. You're training the machines they're building to fire you

The media strategy to "flood the zone with shit" that Steve Bannon said got Trump elected has since been weaponized against the Me Too movement, often by the same people using the same strategies. It's a hallmark of our social and traditional media ecosystem spitfirenews.com/p/flooding-t...

One thing I don't understand from this finger-wagging is how women are supposed to forgive these young men for their immediate recourse to misogyny.

rip see you can't even post her most well-known Suicide Squad stills without getting flagged for "adult content." i remember when (mostly) men were whining about the change and i damn well know it would have taken this turn if Margot Robbie et al had a smear campaign against them at the time

Renah K @renahk.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

justin claimed to want the "female gaze" and blake delivered. and it really adds up when you see people posting what they think Blake/Lily SHOULD have been wearing. it's almost equivalent to saying they wanted Harley Quinn's Suicide Squad wardrobe but Blake delivered Birds of Prey

Renah K @renahk.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

and if i said that her It Ends With Us wardrobe is JUST FINE for what it's meant to do, and that even though Blake's personal aesthetic usually just "isn't for me" it's still obvious she understands fashion... people would've nodded along a year ago

Baldoni's lawyer isnt offering any sort of narrative that clears or absolves Justin but he doesnt Need to. What he needs to sell is that you, the reader, did not fall for anything the first time and are right and correct and should continue to fall for whatever they tell you to forever in perpetuity

No one can EVER convince me that GRRM didn't come up with the name "Targaryen" because Tarragon is the dragon herb. I'm not saying he did it on purpose, but he definitely did it.
