The man with the plan and the pocket comb. Joe Biden was a good President who did good things, and Kamala Harris would’ve been even better. Here: politics, baseball, Tolkien memes. Sometimes in that order. @b-list.org for the tech side of me. he/him

Every single time the wretched, craven, depraved, spineless entities we call the press corpse tries to lie on his behalf, insisting that was taken out of context and didn't mean it like that, the very next day he doubles down even harder to say no, he *did* in fact mean it like that.

And now this.
Organizers of the Oct. 7 vigil Mamdani is attending tonight are unable to start because pro-Palestinian protestors are drowning them out with their chats. Israeli organizers are trying to read testimonies from Israel and Palestinian victims and call the Gaza War a genocide. Protestors have taken seats intended for mourners, and one holds a sign of Sinwar.

The Dodgers are headed to the NLCS for the third straight year, but apparently that is the price we pay for seeing the Atlanta Baseball Organization eliminated this year. Now the Atlanta fans will be stuck doing sad racist chants instead of triumphant racist chants.

Israelis for Peace NYC - who are near and dear to my heart - held a vigil in which they read testimonies and eulogies of both Israelis & Palestinians on this incredibly difficult night. It's not for everyone, but to have it disrupted in this way is absolutely shameful.

Today marks three years since the horrors of October 7th, the largest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, took the lives of over a thousand people.
Today marks three years since the horrors of October 7th, the largest attack on Jews since the Holocaust, took the lives of over a thousand people.

In Delaware and across the country, the weight of October 7th is felt deeply, particularly in the hearts and lives of our Jewish neighbors.
In the years since, rising antisemitism has further sown fear in Jewish communities across the First State.

May we remember the lives taken and families shattered three years ago today. And recommit ourselves, every day, to a world that affirms the dignity of Israelis and Palestinians alike.

Mamdani’s comms staff is A+ bec he ran on a sweeping 65 million dollar investment and when faced w/federal pressure scaled it down to just 16 million over 2 years. When Mount Sandi and others ended gender affirming care, he was silent. When the admin opened a clinic it did so w/an age limit of 19yo.

It's always been an insulting indicator of what is true in America; Anti black racism is considered a slightly impolite opinion, excused and unspeakable amongst family. The symbols of their belief not discussed but sure well known to those they aim at.

If you want to know why Jews are suspicious of you when you're just trying to be a well-meaning antizionist gentile, consider that these two things were written by the same man, Guangtian Ha, a (currently suspended) religion professor at Haverford
a passage from an article by guangtian ha that reads:

We make this call amidst growing concern about antisemitism on our campus. Questions have arisen in the context of a number of specific situations, including external influences from Lower Merion, from donors, and from some alumni who are hell-bent on defining the " ways to be Jewish. This, of course, flies in the face of thousands of years of Jewish tradition which is fundamentally based on interrogation, questioning, and truth-seeking. We take these attacks on our anti-Zionist Jewish community members seriously and we understand the real damage the state of Israel causes for the entire Jewish world when it claims to be acting on behalf of all Jews while engaging in horrific atrocities that - truth be told- mirror some of the worst stereotypes of Jews that have been a part of European racism for centuries. We will be clear: antisemitism should be unacceptable at Haverford, but the energy and consideration which some in our administration have granted these bad faith actors suggests otherwise.a passage from a court document about guangtian ha that reads:

In or about January 2026, through in or about February 2026, defendant GUANGTIAN HA, using X account "America IstLM" posted a series of threatening and harassing messages directed at Victim 1, including the following:
a. "Jew, get the fuck out of my country" 
b. "Jew pig, get the fuck out of Lower Merion"
c. "If jews are so special then they should also be placed in special  camps and receive special treatments" 
d. "LM jews are going to have it big time, jew. Remember this. You scums have had it too easy. Goyim are taking America back, blood-guzzling demons."

Some people are, just now, over a quarter-century later, starting to admit that maybe there was a difference in 2000 and that protest-voting for Nader might not have been the greatest idea. I'm not sure we have another quarter-century to spare for 2016 and 2024 folks to come around.
