every time i think america is dominating the race for the dumbest country award the brits make a rally www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/12...

i know this is the "orange man bad" place but the implications of Netflix buying WBD are extinction level for cinema. there is nothing to celebrate in this deal

eurovision choosing to destroy itself rather than hold israel accountable is a pretty bang-on symbol of Where We're At These Days

Why Palestine Matters So Much to Queer People Palestinian identity can “upend the whole world order, if done right, if spun right, if we activate it enough. And I think queerness is a very similar kind of identity.”

Today in @thenation.com: a rich, insightful piece from @jadsalfiti.bsky.social on the complex, decades-long intersection of the Palestine and queer movements, and why Palestine has become such a vital queer issue.

it is essential that every unionized newsroom gets a ban on this kind of insidious bullshit written into their contract

"And what do you want to be when you grow up?" was my next question. Ziad said, "A programmer." Yazan: "A policeman." Rosa: "A dentist." Before we could finish the answers, the sound of an explosion shook the area —an air strike on a displaced family's tent nearby. My student Abood panicked, saying it was close to his home and he needed to check on his family. As his teacher, it was my role to calm him and keep him from leaving until we knew it was safe. He, like the others, could not focus for the rest of the lesson. Then Muhammad, another student, suggested we change the question from "What do you want to be in the future?" to "What is your wish right now?" When I asked, every single child gave the same answer: "We wish for the war to end."

Today in @thenation.com: a brilliant piece from Ghada Eyad, a writer and teacher in Gaza, about what her students are suffering through right now. The genocide has warped and derailed the ability of kids even to dream about their own lives. www.thenation.com/article/worl...

mohammed is building an incredible body of work. this is another must-read

nothing to see here, just a dentist's office in someone's house with terrifying art all around, as is common

hillary clinton has been peddling this tired nonsense for over a year...as i wrote about for @discourseblog.com. it was bullshit then and it still is! www.discourseblog.com/p/and-now-so...

pure uncut nazi shit

a real tell in all of this is that the trans instructor wasn't alone in trashing this essay! a whole other person also said they agreed completely that it sucked. but as far as i can tell only the trans person is getting punished. www.oklahoman.com/story/news/e...

Pete Hegseth And Adm. Mitch Bradley Belong In Prison The South American boat strikes are plainly murders. Now we have the names of the murderers. Do we have the political will to lock them up?

If a man personally implicated in war crimes can remain atop the Pentagon, why would he stand by and risk his freedom should Vance (or Trump again) lose the 2028 election?

And unless Bradley sees the inside of a brig, the message to USSOCOM's chain of command is that no action is impermissible.

this is an accurate enough rap sheet but it still clings to the myth that biden's crimes stemmed from a botched effort to exert "leverage" over israel—rather than accepting the obvious reality, which is that biden was simply a willing and active participant in genocide

lmao i'll see what i can do

believe me i know

@Acyn Mamdani: I have spoken about the Israeli government committing genocide and our government funding it and I shared about the concern that New Yorkers of wanting their tax dollars to go to the benefit of New Yorkers and what we see right now we are in the ninth consecutive year of children being homeless…

Zohran Mamdani standing beside the President of the United States just said that the US is funding Israel's genocide and yet can't take care of its own unhoused children on live television.

I never thought I'd see something like that in my lifetime

trump cheerfully and unwittingly driving a stake through every attack line about zohran is the funniest thing I have seen all year

somewhere in westchester andrew cuomo lets out a bloodcurdling scream

how is this real life

stupidest country

bring back shutting the fuck up

How the UK Media Became Complicit in the Gaza Genocide An interview with British journalist Peter Oborne.

I spoke to Peter Oborne about Trump's role in the crisis at the BBC, the Prescott dossier's revisionist history on Gaza, and the complicity of UK media in 2+ years of genocide for

Seen in Boston, Massachusetts in 1854.

sit peacefully on a lawn while calling for genocide to end? worse than satan. carry on a long, publicly known friendship with the world's most notorious pedophile? a valued member of the faculty

the gulf between the swift brutality with which places like harvard treated students protesting genocide and the endless, endless latitude those same institutions have given people like larry summers tells you everything you need to know

like you don’t need sherlock holmes for this one!

harvard saying it needs to “investigate” suggests that this is some newly uncovered connection, not, y’know, something that has been known for many many many many years and is now immortalized in endless fawning emails

everything about this is incredibly wrong
