David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

this person seems to be trying to articulate something about how western tourism changes places but since they can’t say “imperialism” or something they’re just like “uhhh it’s women” lol

Being right wing is so hard bc you’re not allowed to acknowledge any actual phenomena that shape the world, so when you try to describe something you just end up sounding like if a person speaking in tongues worshipped the internet instead of god

(for those unaware, it's this phenomenon where trad mormon women don't respond to anything but only let their husband speak for them at places like restaurants)

Bonus:

— He thinks Republicans should welcome Nick Fuentes
— He thinks the descendants of slaves owe reparations to the descendants of slave owners

The guy Trump picked to lead the office that’s now investigating Jack Smith:

— said Niki Haley is ineligible to be president
— has neo-Nazi ties
— was Andrew Tate’s lawyer
— 2x Claremont fellow
— wrote for Gateway Pundit
— called for Pence to be hanged
— called for secession after 2020 election

“The Dershowitz pierogi dispute” would be a great band name.

She owes a private school $27,000. Her daughter never attended. In a region with one of nation’s highest private school enrollment rates, there’s a side not often talked about: the lawsuits.

Sandy Spring Friends School can GO TO HELL

In the meantime, is there a Gofundme to pay off this bill? Bianca Johnson and her daughter are being robbed by these private school assholes.

If “anti-antisemitism” materials come to be broadly seen as justifying the most revanchist elements of the Israeli right, after a certain point a lot of people exposed to these materials are just going to conclude that they don’t oppose antisemitism.

If I had to guess how many Americans even know that Israel systematically demolishes Palestinian houses I'd put it at somewhere around <5%. This seems like a good way to make it >20%.

Oooh. Gotcha.

The song or the music video? The people demand you eating pancakes and cuddling kittens in a cozy bathrobe against a pink backdrop!

Maybe not “just like”. This guy openly said that WWII and the Holocaust were just Germans freeing themselves from Jewish tyranny. Alito’s wife sucks, but I have yet to see a quote like that from her.

If you've got a married couple and one of them is a nazi and the other doesn't set him afire and run from him by his own light[1], what you have is two nazis.

[1] Or at least divorce him.

When your husband claims that the rise of the Nazis & the Holocaust were Germans breaking the chains of Jewish tyranny, you don’t get to just say “I am not involved in my husband’s content or political views” and then decline to comment further, Republican Maple Valley Township Treasurer.

Your husband said: “Extreme sadism and humiliation towards Gentiles is a Jewish tradition … Now, you might begin to understand why, after 14 years of seeing their people tormented by the Jews, millions of Germans organized, gained political power and broke the chains of Jewish tyranny in Germany.”

“In an email, Meg Booth appeared to repudiate her husband’s views. “I am not involved in my husband’s content or political views, and I do not share or support any form of racism, antisemitism, or hate speech,” she wrote, adding: “My values are my own and are grounded in respect, inclusion, and service to the community.” Meg Booth concluded: “As an elected official, I’ve always acted independently, with integrity, and in line with the expectations of my office. I respectfully decline further comment.””

Uh huh. Ok. Your values might be your own, but your values apparently don’t preclude you from being married to a self-described Nazi who hates Jews and Black people so…I’m not sure how that squares with respect and inclusion.

Today, 2 August, marks Roma Holocaust Memorial Day. On the night of 2-3 August 1944, 2,897 Roma, mostly women, children and the elderly, were murdered at the Zigeunerfamilienlager at Auschwitz.

Never forget, and continue to fight the scourge of antiziganism today.

A senior local Republican official in Michigan is married to a self-described “national socialist” (a.k.a. a Nazi) who runs a YouTube channel with millions of views featuring videos like “Why I Dislike Jews. It’s not complicated” and “Black Crimes Matter: Never Relax”

We have so much to atone for on Tisha B’Av this year.

That whites-only, no Jews allowed Arkansas community is legal, says state’s attorney general. How? The Arkansas whites-only Return to the Land Ozarks community that bans Jews is legal according to Tim Griffin.

at some point, Fox News is going to need to start hiring new hosts because their entire roster is being appointed to the Trump administration

and my mood will be a word that combines gleeful schadenfreude + still nervously looking over my own shoulder

when Stephen Miller inevitably falls out of favour with MAGA and gets hit with the puppetmaster rhetoric it’s going to be very ugly.

Jews in Trump circles are usually evil fascists who I have no sympathy for, but when the right turns on them, I still always worry that it will expand to Jews in general.

like…the same sort of “uhhh” I had after the 2020 election loss when certain wings of MAGA decided that the loss should be pinned on Jared etc.

Oh, for sure. I’ve seen the Epstein Mossad conspiracies. The “uhhh” wasn’t a surprised “uhhh” it was a nervous one.

tbh I’m a little worried about a monkey’s paw situation where the right abandon Trump over Epstein but end up dragging even more of MAGA down the rabbithole of antisemitic conspiracies theories and targeting Jews with hate speech & violence

“A photograph shared with NHPR shows the group carrying several flags bearing swastikas and a sign that read “Trump loves Epstein."”

The Neo-Nazis are protesting Trump over his Epstein ties? Uhhhh.
