Hahahahahaha. Another "win" for AI.

Top ADL civil rights litigator quits, accusing group of being 'useful idiot' for Trump - Jewish Telegraphic Agency Joe Berman resigned in March and is making his resignation letter public for the first time now.

The shifting politics of being pro-Israel Last week, Maryland Gov. Wes Moore stood before a crowded room of Jewish attendees just outside the nation’s capital, and proclaimed: “Today, I want to be loud and clear, that Maryland stands with the...

Jewish Insider is accusing Maryland Governor Wes Moore of laundering anti-Israel sentiment by separating "the people of Israel" from the Israeli government in his speeches.

JI is concerned that such rhetoric, typically used for authoritarian states, will set a precedent for centrist Democrats.

Aside from how he's wrong right now on the history, process, strategy, and merits, this is Jeffries heavily signaling that even when they're in the majority, he'll oppose any impeachment that doesn't first get slow-walked in needless committee dithering for as long as he can delay it there.

Bradley Whitford in character as Dean Armitage in the movie “Get Out.”

Jesus. Was this the AirBnB owner?

One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”

Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

“People see the tuxedo, they see the red carpet, but it's real blue-collar folks making these movies happen," Coogler said, adding that he truly fell in love with filmmaking once he understood that, at its core, it's a job.

Texas city among first in the nation to kill LGBTQ+ protections Residents pleaded with the city council to keep the ordinance in place.

NEW: Here's my story on Arlington, Texas, becoming the first known city in the nation to kill a city-wide LGBTQ+ anti-discrimination policy in response to the Trump administration. With no statewide protections, it was one of the few things protecting LGBTQ+ Texans: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

Whopper of the Week: No, RFK, Antidepressants Do Not Cause Mass Shootings | Defend Public Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. (RFK) has repeatedly said that antidepressant medications may be linked to mass shootings. Ignoring the considerable evidence that there are no links between antidepre...

RFK Jr. keeps pushing the conspiracy that SSRIs cause mass shootings.

The evidence? Doesn’t exist.

Data show mass shooters are less likely to have taken antidepressants than the general public.

Gun laws, not medicines, explain the uniquely American scale of gun violence.

UAE: Emirati Dissident Faces Risk of Torture at Home (Beirut) –The detention of an Emirati dissident in Syria raises serious concerns that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) will pressure Syrian authorities to extradite him.

While the UAE continues to get red carpet treatment around the world, dissidents like Jasem al-Shamsi face torture and enforced disappearance if forced to return home

Wow: Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention (named for Holocaust survivor Raphael Lemkin, who coined term "genocide") calls Clinton's remarks "genocide denial."

"Young people in the US are not stupid or gullible. They simply reject genocide – something the Secretary might consider doing as well."

URGENT NEED! HELP KEEP FAMILY TOGETHER, DONATE NOW! We are raising funds for a pillar of our community: a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. While their lawyers are confident they can win this discriminatory case, funds are needed by February 2026. We believe they should no longer have to face this on their own, which is why we are asking for your support. Goal: $50,000 https://www.gofundme.com/help-keep-family-together-urgent Venmo: carta-monir Cashapp: $cartamonir Send donations with a red heart emoji to ensure funds are redirected to this SWER

We are raising funds for a beloved community member; a trans sex worker of color who is at risk of losing custody of their children. For their safety and privacy they must remain anonymous, but this is a pillar of our community, loved and verified by those of us running this fundraiser. Our friend is facing a trial in February regarding the custody of their young children. The case against them is based on the fact that their primary form of income is sex work. Notably, the judge of the initial custody arrangement ruled that their job was not reason enough to restrict their parenting time years ago. Because of this precedent, their lawyer feels very confident they will win their upcoming case.

To defend their rights to parent their own children, our friend needs to raise $75,000 by February 2026. This staggering amount of money is required by the court to cover the costs associated with a two day trial (lawyers fees, expert witnesses, the court reporter, depositions, creation of trial binders, the list goes on). If they cannot secure these funds by the February deadline, they will be forced to settle, resulting in severely reduced interaction with their children. We obviously do not want this to happen. Our friend has provided for themself and their children for years, fighting their custody battle in private while continuing to be an incredible parent, friend, and educator. They can no longer face this by themselves, which is why we are asking for your support.

In our current political climate, we know that our friend's situation is especially precarious. This is a crucial moment to show solidarity with a community member who needs it more than ever.

I am fundraising for an anonymous friend, who is a trans sex worker and POC. They are at risk of losing custody of their children. Please, please donate. This is a situation that is painful and scary beyond description.

I’m very partial to Futurama’s “Xmas Story” (S2 ep. 4).

“Xmas is about bringing people together, not blowing them apart!”

I think @homotoptheory.bsky.social is correct that Sartre’s glossing over of queer persecution by fascists isn’t incidental. Conniving, malicious homosexual characters appear again and again on Sartre’s fiction (Nausea, The Age of Reason, No Exit).

Great ep on an important but flawed book!
