A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

A party that actually wanted to mobilize young and disillusioned voters would be studying Zohran Mamdani’s campaign like the Bible

I keep getting asked if it’s legal to spend our campaign funds on food drives or our high school public service grants and the answer is YES. It is. Politicians and Democratic organizations need to use their coffers to help people NOW and fill in the gaps that Trump has created.

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

Surprised by Musk’s salute? Laura Ingraham did the same in 2016. Do we really need to have the same “did he mean it” debate?

I keep hearing sentiments like “we just have to get through the next four years” as if Trump and his cronies will just step down or respect the outcome of a future election they don’t win. It won’t be that easy. It will not be that easy.

I will never stop being aghast that the United States built a higher education system that was literally the envy of the entire world—our bitterest political enemies nonetheless sent their children to us to be educated, it was so good—& then just decided to systematically, ruthlessly dismantle it

As a Buddhist, I believe in non-violence to solve our problems. I have yet to see those condemning the left for lionizing Luigi Mangione even once criticize the right’s vile embrace of Kyle Rittenhouse, or Trump and Vance inviting Daniel Penny to be their political prop at a football game.

Happy to be one of the Jewish writers who's signed this letter. "We refuse the false choice between Jewish safety and Palestinian freedom; between Jewish identity and ending the oppression of Palestinians. In fact, we believe the rights of Jews and Palestinians go hand-in-hand."

A Dangerous Conflation

We are Jewish writers, artists, and activists who wish to disavow the widespread narrative that any criticism of Israel is inherently antisemitic. Israel and its defenders have long used this rhetoric...
