My view is that when someone who has very likely committed war crimes of a particular kind sounds like he’s stating an intention to commit further war crimes of that same kind, we should believe him

Yes .. and they hope to make certain groups of people so marginalized and unhiman they can never ever challenge that again .

I said it in like 2005 and I'll say it again: Islamophobia is a kind of racism because bigots don't know anything about anything

Donald Trump is now just openly bragging about interfering in the media. He's the president. He's running a truck over the first amendment here.

In a way, yes, Fascists love it when people think they're evil but they hate it when people think they're stupid clowns.

They blew up USAid and doomed millions to an agonizing death but a video of them being an idiot on camera is causing reputational damage

Guys! GUYS! NAZI HUNTING ROCKABILLY STREET GANGS OF 80s PARIS!

Even *pirates* generally offered fair quarter--this is in fact what the black flag signified (a red flag meant no quarter).

Christians really want someone to be in charge of Judaism, for some reason.

The way that y’all ignore Christian Zionists and let them off the hook has me in a low simmering rage at all times that never goes away. And every single time someone says the word Zionists I KNOW y’all are just talking about Jews.

So many of my Jewish friends in urban areas tell me that they need security at their synagogues because of the constant undercurrent of threats and violence, most of which never make it to the news. You should not need a security guard to go to your place of worship.

CT Jewish leaders denounce new rules for federal security grants Recipients of the nonprofit security grant will be prohibited from DEI programming, staging some boycotts or helping undocumented immigrants.

fun fact: the department of homeland security added restrictions last year to its nonprofit security grants program that help synagogues and other jewish institutions hire security that effectively makes it so that liberal jewish organizations can't qualify

Fuck all the way off with this. The student protesters were physically attacked -- some of them maimed permanently with life-altering injuries -- and relentlessly persecuted, doxxed, and hounded by school administrators, local police, and federal authorities while their attackers remain untouched.

the basic problem with marx as filtered through the american consciousness is that americans are fatally poisoned by jeffersonianism so everything gets read through the lens of whether it makes it easier or harder to be a yeoman smallholder

Yes, it is important to not conflate criticism of Israel with antisemitism. However, you are replying to a post about someone ramming a synagogue full of children at daycare with their car, driving into the building and then getting out of the car with a gun. That was not “criticism of Israel”.

Discourse around antisemitism among non-Jews right now is basically "it isn't a real problem, and any evidence or incident suggesting otherwise is fake or misleading, but IF it's real, it was deserved or justifiable." I just don't even know what can be done to combat this.

Something I've been trying to do lately is formulate my principles and beliefs in positive rather than negative terms - "I believe X" rather than "I'm not like those fucking guys" - and it's been a useful and (I think) healthy little reorientation

It is horrific what happened to this man’s family. But some Jewish American children worshipping at a synagogue in Michigan are not fucking responsible. This is another case of blaming all Jews for the actions of Israel. This is why we constantly beg you not to do that.

When Israel says their violence is done to protect all Jews and make the world safer for us, we can only look at incidents like this and see that is obviously not true. They’re making it more dangerous for us EVERYWHERE.

This guy is angry at the anti-Zionist Jewish leader of the UK Green Party, despite his vocal criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, because apparently expressing sympathy for a Jewish synagogue attacked in Michigan is complicity in “false flag attacks by the Epstein Class”. 🙄

This guy replied to Jamie Raskin’s post about the Michigan synagogue attack by claiming that the attack was “false flag propaganda” conducted by AIPAC or the ADL, but accompanied his post with a meme declaring “The Jew will always tell you what happened to him, but he’ll never tell you why.”

it’s always fun to scroll through developing news about a ramming attack on a synagogue in Michigan & see a post claiming that it’s likely a false flag attack conducted by Israel & then clicking through to the account to see a bio with “leftist” & “Fuck Nazis” & over 100 mutual followers.

Nothing is yours. It is to use. It is to share. If you will not share it, you cannot use it.

We need reparations for ICE victims.

Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.

you know Bluesky exists in a new internet era, far from peak twitter era, when SXSW is something new to a critical mass of folks

deeply revealing that the people who want to force you to “appreciate” the sex society picked out for you are the same people who are too chickenshit to not wear the shoes the president picked out for them that look dumb and dont fit

right now, showing public support for trans people, for immigrants, and for abortion access is both 1) incredibly important and 2) punk as fuck.

The only time in my life I've had the "correct" "healthy" BMI for my height was when I was a flat-chested 16-year-old competitive distance runner who was regularly skipping meals. It's just such nonsense.

The guy worked for Blackwater after his military career and posted a list of wars he wished he had fought in, all while having a Nazi tattoo on his chest. What are we doing here.
