Eva Colen

she’s lying, obviously. we can see the video with our own eyes. but it’s so interesting that they’re suddenly so willing to believe a car is a deadly weapon when they ignored the 100 documented instances of right wingers hitting protesters with their cars in 2020.

Sometimes the best hearts gotta protect themselves in a prickly armor and that’s ok too

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime.

The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

I cannot understate how appalling and helpless it feels as a Jew that this is being done under the guise of fighting antisemitism.

I'm seeing a lot of cynical reactions to this move from Cory Booker. And I get it!! But performative opposition is a necessary part of effective opposition from the minority. Not sufficient, but necessary. And our electeds need to know we notice when they do well and not just when they do poorly.

Purim is this week! Here is a thread of things!

Let's talk about archetypes:

Vashti and Esther.
Lilith and Eve.

Whose agendas do these narratives serve, and how can we claim power from all of them???

Morning update: NO on cloture. NO on the CR. We’re fighting this bad bill that cuts Americans a terrible deal with everything we’ve got.

Government AI, defending DOGE and more: Takeaways from Elon Musk’s three-hour interview with Joe Rogan The wide-ranging interview between the two prominent Trump supporters comes as Musk remakes the federal government.

Musk states "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy". Charles Darwin, who actually researched this stuff, showed it was empathy, specifically, that enabled humanity to flourish.

Odds of recently discovered asteroid hitting Earth drop nearly to zero — The Washington Post Another night of observations revealed there is little to fear from the football-field-sized Asteroid 2024 YR4.

Sorry. I just couldn’t let you get off that easy.

I cannot, during these horrific times, recommend enough the importance of making pockets of time to just do things that are not related to anything but the joy of being alive and playing. You need it. You do. It will keep you whole. Which we need. We need you whole.

They are trying to overwhelm us with all these EOs.

Do what you need to do to stay out of freeze mode the best that you can.

Connect with people. Connect with yourself.

We're gonna fight.

The Washington Post is reporting an OMB memo says all federal and grant will be paused.

There doesn’t seem to be details on what is or isn’t affected but here are some figures from Virginia’s auditor.

Each precious, irreplaceable person a world upon themselves.

When they begin this way, they will only continue down this road.

It will only get worse.

Time to organize.

Find your way into larger networks and help us build a movement that says no.

When you use Pharisee as a slur but try to say it’s not antisemitic it’s like arguing that saying “that’s so gay” as an insult but not intending to refer to same sex love is magically thus not actually homophobic or harmful to queer people.

I can't believe there's people finding out about THE ODYSSEY because of the new Nolan film and complaining about spoilers. Sir please it was written almost 3000 years ago what spoilers are you talking about.

You don't have to pretend that Jesus was a Palestinian non-Jew to be in solidarity with Palestinians now. Does ignoring the actual Jewishness of Jesus, what... complicate your antisemitism? Sorry.

What if we honor the inherent dignity and sacredness of all humans? What would Jesus do about that??

Whew, haven’t read since 2016. Packs a heavier punch now.

“Kind, good, happy, secure people never go Nazi. …Those who haven’t anything in them to tell them what they like & what they don’t—whether breeding, or happiness, or wisdom, or a code, however old-fashioned or however modern, go Nazi.”

The saturnine man over there talking with a lovely French emigree is already a Nazi. Mr. C is a brilliant and embittered intellectual. He was a poor white-trash Southern boy, a scholarship student at two universities where he took all the scholastic honors but was never invited to join a fraternity. His brilliant gifts won for him successively government positions, partnership in a prominent law firm, and eventually a highly paid job as a Wall Street adviser. He has always moved among important people and always been socially on the periphery. His colleagues have admired his brains and exploited them, but they have seldom invited him-or his wife-to dinner. He is a snob, loathing his own snobbery. He despises the men about him-he despises, for instance, Mr. B-because he knows that what he has had to achieve by relentless work men like B have won by knowing the right people. But his contempt is inextricably mingled with envy. Even more than he hates the class into which he has insecurely risen, does he hate the people from whom he came. He hates his mother and his father for being his parents. He loathes everything that reminds him of his origins and his humiliations. He is bitterly anti-Semitic because the social insecurity of the Jews reminds him of his own psychological insecurity. Pity he has utterly erased from his nature, and joy he has never known. He has an ambition, bitter and burning. It is to rise to such an eminence that no one can ever again humiliate him. Not to rule but to be the secret ruler, pulling the strings of puppets created by his brains. Already some of them are talking his language-though they have never met him. There he sits: he talks awkwardly rather than glibly; he is courteous. He commands a distant and cold respect. But he is a very dangerous man. Were he primitive and brutal he would be a criminal-a murderer. But he is subtle and cruel. He would rise high in a Nazi regime. It would need men just like him-intellectual and ruthless. But M…

I think this should be kind of a big deal: Elon Musk tweeting at 1:03am, “Only the AfD can save Germany.”

The AfD is Germany’s neo-Nazi party.
