If you’re white, your accomplishments are your own and you can resent and criticize the country all you like, but if you’re black and successful you should be grateful to white people for allowing you in their presence. bsky.app/profile/jess...

Nowhere.

That’s why lots of Zionists are disgusted and outraged by Israel’s murderous behavior, both during the current war and for the many years of the occupation of the West Bank.

No, Zionism simply means belief in the right of Jews to form a state—a right that Palestinians deserve also.

I’m a Zionist. Lots of Zionists hate Netanyahu and hate this genocidal war.

I’m a Zionist for the same reason I’m a Palestinian nationalist: self-determination is an inalienable human right.

That’s a good thing on its merits, but don’t be misled into thinking it will protect you when these antisemites come for you or your people.

If your response to the mass murder of Jews is to change the subject to Israel, you’re a racist.

If your response to the mass murder of Palestinians is to change the subject to Hamas, you’re a racist.

So just change your bio to “love all humans except Jews,” and then go fuck yourself.

If you clicked on my profile you’d see that I regularly condemn the murder of Palestinian civilians by Israeli forces.

But I guess it’s not surprising that an antisemitic racist clown can’t read.

If your response to racist mass murder is to change the subject, you’re a racist.

Wild that you have the gall to put “anti-racist” in your bio.

You’re nothing but the worst sort of gutter racist.

some people told dave chappelle his jokes weren’t funny and this ego maniac has been having a meltdown over it for ten years

There’s a Soviet anecdote about this

His strategy is to be invisible “so that the face of the party is everyone’s local House candidate, not a black guy from NYC named Hakeem.”

Which on the surface makes sense, except that “face of the party” is an important part of the job of Speaker!

If that’s his strtgy, why did he take the job!?

‘Hell on earth’: immigrants held in new California detention facility beg for help Six people at a remote Ice facility in California City describe medical problems and filthy conditions, which operator CoreCivic denies

Military service is about courage and sacrifice. That’s what my father, a Marine, and my mother, a Navy veteran, taught me.

But awarding medals for the massacre at Wounded Knee is cruelty, not honor. And reaffirming them today only deepens the injustice. (1/2🧵)

Holy fuck. One gets inured to insanely brutal ice videos. But this one stands out. He just throws this woman into the wall basically

Now I just want to go reread Goodbye to All That.

Sauron Was Practicing Metallurgy The Right Way by Ezra Klein

I think they will deploy the national guard to swing districts in deep red states—under the pretense of stopping voter fraud and voting by “illegals”—as an attempt at voter intimidation.

I don’t think it will work, but I do think they’ll try, and that it will inject chaos into the results.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water.

These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested.

They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Trey Reed and Corey Zutakis update: How did DSU student and Brandon man die? Latest here The deaths of Trey Reed and Corey Zutakis in Mississippi, both found hanging, have sparked lynching claims online, though police cite suicide/investigation.

Your post is highly inaccurate. No one was beaten and Corey is white.

These are two tragic but unrelated suicides.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Someone deliberately switched it out to further this conspiracy theory, probably to farm engagement.

Trey Reed and Corey Zukatis: Mystery over two men found hanging in two different parts of Mississippi - The Times of India US News: Amid rumors swirling around the mysterious death of a Black student of Delta State, Trey Reed, another similar incident came to be reported from a dif.

That is not Corey Zukatis. Corey Zukatis is white.

They didn’t know each other and were found in different parts of the state. There is no evidence of foul play in either case. Unfortunately, suicide is an epidemic in this country.

To misuse their deaths to raise alarm and farm clout is perverse.

No, Zohran Mamdani Isn’t a Communist Trump tries to smear the NYC mayoral candidate. But it’s Trump himself who uses Communist tactics.

"Mamdani isn’t a Communist. He’s a democratic socialist. He wants rent control, free childcare, and tax hikes on the rich. These ideas, whatever their merits, are familiar in democracies." Trump's policies? Less so. www.thebulwark.com/p/no-zohran-...

Scrutiny Mounts of F.B.I. Under Patel as Kirk’s Killer Remains at Large

An idiot is in charge.

Luckily, the suspect’s family turned him in.

it’s amazing to watch so many journalists warp thoughts of their own fragile mortality into “Charlie Kirk was actually pretty great.”

Democrats coalesce around insurance subsidies as shutdown demand, Neal says Any stopgap deal needs to include an extension of enhanced health care tax credits or other concessions, the Ways and Means leader said after strategy meeting.

This is not the safe course, it's a reckless gamble that the party will magically rebound from record unfavorable polling numbers by quietly helping Republicans fund their agenda and avoid a major electoral problem until just after the midterms.
