Yes, but *this specific formulation/idea* was the basis for pogroms and outright genocides against European Jews that began nearly a millennium before the Holocaust. Its historical impact has been primarily antisemitic and Islamophobic.

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

“we all agreed rape jokes are bad” was about lazy men using rape as a shocking punchline to dehumanize women in like tweets and standup routines

don’t use that same maxim to run around demanding survivors of abuse discuss what happened to them only in somber, sad reverence.

Precisely!

That's how I feel about King John. Is it great art? Lol, no. Is it utterly bonkers in a way that compels me? Hell yeah.

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.

Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.

Murderbot's wisdom for our times

The use of AI to identify targets (without subsequent specific human confirmation) should be considered a war crime.

And by that I don't mean "we should make a rule" I mean that straightforward application of the existing rules would tell you that it is a war crime.

They are torturing and killing people in our concentration camps, and I wish more people were actively bothered by that

Tony Kushner offered me tickets to his Broadway musical "Caroline, or Change."

Most people join the military because the military promises them benefits unattainable to them otherwise, actually (which is not a problem Platner had). That's kind of been a big progressive issue, y'know? Making it so poor teenagers don't have to sign their lives away to go to college?

"His self-reported reasons for joining the military are awful."

"WTF, you're saying no veteran ever can be a politician?"

Be serious.

He was still throwing around homophobic slurs on reddit a few years back, while happily rocking a Nazi tattoo he knew by then was Nazi. Fuck that noise.

I would be shit at running for office, but I do have the sort of family backstory that would sound good on the stump.

One was the son of immigrants who served in the military, got a biochemistry degree, and became a business executive, and the other gave up his dreams of being a journalist to save his family's farm, ran a small town motel for a while, and died in a workplace accident at Walmart.
