The US Holocaust Memorial Museum says that “genocide prevention” is a key part of its mission.

But they are silent on Israel's #genocide in #Gaza.

Museum executives have received 60K emails urging @ushmm.bsky.social to end its silence.

China Is Burning All Its Bridges with Israel Over the last three decades, China and Israel developed close economic, technological, security, and diplomatic ties. Beijing's surprising response to Hamas' attacks and to Israel's reprisal campaign ...

New research published by The Lancet finds that economic sanctions imposed by the USA and EU are associated with more than 500,000 deaths per year since 1970, five times more than deaths by war.

Child Amputees, Aid Massacres, Mass Starvation—the Israeli War Crimes NYT Covers Less than Mamdani and 'Globalize the Intifada' Theoretical, third order, speculative violence must be condemned while actual, real world mass violence, that actually exists in reality, is seen as normal and unworthy of sustained coverage.

In the past month NYT has published 32 articles that mention Mamdani and “globalize the intifada", 13 that mention Israel's fake "aid" agency that's killed 800+, 5 on Israel's starvation campaign and two that mention, in passing, child amputees in Gaza. I argue this is makes no sense and is depraved

Why Did Cars Get So Hard to See Out Of? If it seems like forward visibility has gotten worse, you’re right: Since the 1990s, cars and trucks have grown bigger A-pillars that can create dangerous blind spots.

You know that post btw a car’s windshield and side window? It’s called an A-pillar – and it’s becoming a problem.

A-pillars are expanding, enlarging driver blind zones and concealing pedestrians at crosswalks.

Blame car bloat, as well as ill-conceived federal rules.

China Has Paid a High Price for Its Dominance in Rare Earths Dust and groundwater contaminated with heavy metals and radioactive chemicals pose a health threat that the authorities have been trying to address for years.

What if having an advantage...was actually a disadvantage???

“The New York Times collaborated with a white nationalist eugenicist hacker and agreed to keep his identity a secret to publish a Zohran Mamdani hit piece” is a way bigger story than “18 year old Zohran Mamdani ticked ‘African American’ on his Columbia application because he was a citizen of Uganda”

Is the New York Times seriously trying to frame this rent hike as Mamdani's fault, when it's ultimately a decision made by the current mayor?

This is exactly how a strongman government aspires to function—instead of rules, everything is a favor to be requested from the boss.

Opinion | The Attacks on Zohran Mamdani Show That We Need a New Understanding of Antisemitism

"Anti-semitism" now occupies the same place in American politics that "anti-American" did in the aftermath of 9/11: a thought-terminating attack that doesn't require any factual basis.

screenshot of a Facebook post by Corey Robin, which says: "By the way, did you all notice how Zohran made affordability a central issue of his campaign without selling out trans kids or shitting on immigrants? Might be some lessons there. Just a thought."

he's right and he's right to say it

The US attack on Iran was unprovoked and illegal, done in cooperation with a regime that is currently perpetrating a genocide, whose leader is wanted by the International Criminal Court. That is the world we are in.

How Democratic Party Leaders Quietly Support Trump's March to War With Iran Some Democrats are fighting to stop Trump's Iran war, but leaders like Chuck Schumer are quietly acquiescing or, worse, supporting an attack.

So... what are the Dems going to do now that Trump says we have bombed Iran?

These criminal attacks on Iran and the Iranian people cannot be justified under any circumstance.

The New York mayoral election discourse is trying to make my brain believe Denver’s free 16th street bus is actually a Hitler plot

Economists Support Zohran Mamdani’s Plan for New York City Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral platform is a practical blueprint to tackle some of New York City’s most pressing problems.

Leading economists argue that Zohran Mamdani's mayoral platform is a bold yet practical blueprint to tackle some of New York City’s most urgent challenges—above all, the cost of living.

"[GDP by purchasing power parity] shows Iran’s GDP rose 61.8 percent over this 12-year period. That would come to a 4.1 percent annual rate..."

Iran's economy is relatively strong, particularly given the sustained pressure and illegal sanctions imposed on it!

I don’t think you can call it an anomaly every time you guys

The U.S. Shouldn't Support an Illegal War of Aggression The attack on Iran is a crime. Should our government assist the perpetrator in committing that crime? I think not.

"The attack on Iran is a crime...[the] U.S. is wrong to support another country’s war of aggression. Israel’s attack on Iran is entirely unnecessary. Iran isn’t building nuclear weapons, and Israel isn’t acting in self-defense."

going to keep saying: a society that would like to maintain its basic functions has really got to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by people in positions of authority

It's completely fine and normal to think some problems are bigger than others and to point that out!

Also, as a reminder, the "whataboutism" attack was popularized by the United States because it wanted to criticize the Soviet Union without acknowledging that it still had Jim Crow laws

But some Americans have gone too far in the other direction. They have engaged in whataboutism regarding anti-Jewish hate. They have failed to denounce antisemitism in the unequivocal ways that they properly denounce other bigotry. Consider the double standard that leads to a fixation on Israel’s human rights record and little campus activism about the records of China, Russia, Sudan, Venezuela or almost any other country.

The New York Times Editorial Board complains that people engage in "whataboutism" about anti-Semitism and then literally ONE PARAGRAPH later engages in whataboutism about the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza

www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/o...

NYT Editorial board effectively endorses Andrew Cuomo today in the most weaselly possible way. “Don’t rank Mamdani, and it will probably be either him or Cuomo, sooo…”

The reason that the NYT editorial board, the Atlantic writing staff, etc hate Zohran is because he’s one of the only living progressive politicians with genuine intent of leveraging power

"To everyone who pulls me aside to whisper with the best intentions 'You have already won', I am sorry, but the days of moral victories are over. And as my father told me years ago, 'When the Right wins power, the Left writes a great book.' Those days are over too."

🚨Gaza | June 13, 2025

Israel has killed more than 50 Palestinians across the Strip since dawn, amid a second consecutive day of total internet blackout.
