what the hell is going on here

To keep from going mad, he also recited to himself from memory the collected works of Corneille, Moliere, and Racine while he waited for rescue

yes, many feudal territories are currently being formed. Thielberg, Muskistan, Zuckerville

Hmmm you want a 2025 lit review or an 1884 lit review

lol

you can put literally anything after “quantum scientists discover” and people will believe it

Tfw Marxists debate theology - for you theology heads and for you DSA religious socialist types

Whoa. This is cool

Obviously they’ve been doing stuff like this all along - Roberts even talks about “pressure from the (((globalist))) class” in this little speech defending Carlson. But it used to be more dog-whistly. Ruling Fuentes in means you can be a Republican and talk about expelling “Talmudic Jews”

Again, this is the degrees of separation: Fuentes is a Nazi. Carlson hosts Fuentes and takes him seriously. Roberts defends Carlson. J.D. Vance, Vice President of the United States, wrote the foreword to Roberts’s book.

Nazism is officially a welcome option in the Republican Party.

just cannot say enough how much people should not care about this and should continue to publicly demonstrate contempt for the idea that saying mean things about the president is treason

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

NEW: Paul Newby, a born-again Christian, has turned his perch atop North Carolina’s Supreme Court into an instrument of political power.

Over two decades, he’s driven changes that have reverberated well beyond the borders of his state.

Have you noticed that you are on the same side of this as Jen Psaki and the Pod Save bros? Don’t you usually try to avoid that

Official October 30th Deportation Press Release Israel Moves to Deport Two Jewish- ِAmerican Women for Participating in Peacebuilding Olive Harvest with Rabbis for Human Rights Jerusalem, Israel — In a striking move that underscores Israel’s growin...

“Israel is a refuge for all Jews”

Unless they try to help Palestinians who are being attacked by fascist settlers during their olive harvest, then apparently it’s deportation time.

This is an escalation in the state’s effort to redefine “Jewish” in a supremacist way.

paid for something in cash today and was totally unprepared for the sudden and intense rush of satisfaction at having completed a transaction that did not incur a new debt

if you can't read these posters, maybe stfu about zohran being antisemitic

It is better to be freaked out about early vote than to be complacent. Complacent people stay home, freaked out people knock doors and make phone calls

Geordi saying no: when they call the ruling class “elites” Geordi saying yes: when they call the ruling class “capitalists”

Interesting how none of the dirtbag left types who would normally cringe at the very thought of being on the same side of something as Psaki and the Pod Save bros are even admitting that’s the case here

I’m thinking like… “protesting this ________ is sweeping the nation”

And then along comes someone who says “[youth pastor voice] you know who ELSE wouldn’t have had this problem if they had just had dense, walkable neighborhoods”

That kind of thing

What are people’s favorite examples of left activists awkwardly, clumsily, perhaps lovably trying to connect “their” issues to the Current Thing?

(Could be about climate, gender, whatever. Ideally not about Israel-Palestine, because that’s what I want to draw a comparison to)

“say ‘eye-RACK’ or we’ll do a populist backlash at you” - The New York Times in 2025

They did this to Obama too when he said “Pah-ki-STAHN” and “ih-RAHQ.” The point is that to be a true red-blooded American you have to intentionally mangle the sound of other tongues. Obama, by getting it right, proved himself a foreigner; same thing they’re doing to Mamdani now.

It’s like bots came over from Vichy Twitter with the humans

once again would like to thank my new bot followers for getting me to 6K. to repay you I will endorse one (1) bit of slop that you suggest in the replies. go!

agree with all that. same would go for someone trying to dispute that Islamophobia in the U.S. is racialized by saying “well, you can convert to Islam though”

discouraging conversion for that reason is not an Israeli innovation. it reflects the general understanding that marriage would be the greatest motivator for insincere conversion. certainly it takes on a different aspect in the Israeli context

(e.g. wanting to get married, a common reason for discouraging conversion prospects)

Ah, I see. I am hard to shock but I would have actually been shocked if that was articulated explicitly in a written law. I suspect that if challenged on this they would simply say that the sincerity of the requests was suspect and compare it to other less theoretically significant instances
