It's the clearest possible test: "Will you endorse America's most powerful open antisemite if he is willing to discriminate against Palestinians?"

And Greenblatt just came bursting through the door like "THANK YOU MISTER MUSK SIR, THANK YOU." Guy literally doesn't care about antisemitism at all

Thinking about this for probably no reason. Walter Benjamin’s ninth thesis, on the Angel of History, inspired by Paul Klee’s Angelus Novus. Interesting that the Klee painting is now owned by Israel #ceasefire

At the trial of God, we will ask: why did you allow all this?
And the answer will be an echo: why did you allow all this?

This past weekend, 50,000+ Angelenos flooded the streets of DTLA to demand a #FreePalestine.

The Palestinian resistance will be victorious. Palestine will be free. By any means necessary. πŸ‡΅πŸ‡ΈβœŠ

92NY cancelled the appearance of Viet Thanh Nguyen because of his support for Palestinians. In response:

Killings in the U.S. are dropping at a historic rate. Will anyone notice? Homicides went up in 2020 and 2021 and are now rapidly coming back down. Violent crime nationwide hasn't increased. But the perception of a crime wave still colors U.S. politics.
