OK, regardless of source, credit where due: That's a great headline.

There’s something we don’t know. In his blind obeisance to Trump, Johnson has made obsolete his own job. What’s in it for him?

This is a beautiful (and slightly terrifying) essay. A good reminder good health is a gift...

On My Last Leg An illness returns after a quarter century.

“When one is unwell, it becomes even more apparent that what matters most is love, and the rest is largely noise.” Lucinda Rosenfeld writes about the resurgence of her multiple sclerosis.

Not just domestic abuse but out and out rape

ICE officer said his injuries were 'nothing major' after deadly shooting near Chicago, video shows The immigration agent’s partner said he suffered a “knee injury" and "some lacerations to his hands,” according to police body camera footage obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times. But the feds reported h...

The gap between ICE’s story and Franklin Park body cam footage is alarming. A man is dead, shot and killed by federal agents—and the public deserves the truth. Just like at the Broadview detention center, we need answers, accountability, and transparency.

More like the 1850s.

Some of us distanced ourselves decades ago. It’s slightly laughable that Friedman only figured out that Israel is a rogue, apartheid state on Friday.

Favorite album of the 80s

Welcome to the cause. Some of us (yes, in the Jewish community) have been screaming about the depravity of Israel's actions in Gaza for almost 2 years--and no one listened.

Why is there no Benny Hill music?

What's going on at the New York Times? Barely any coverage of the daily carnage in Gaza; racist hit job on Mamdani; Cuomo semi-endorsement; and triumphalist Iran-has-been-vanquished b.s. Has the paper of record decided that the way to beat Trump is to move to the center-right? Gross.

Fantastic reported essay about what a public acclimated into fascism looks like on the ground.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

ICE is a much greater threat to this country than illegal immigrants. The current administration ia by far the greatest threat this country faces. The problem is not st our borders. It is in the White House.

Personally as a Jew myself I think the rise in antisemitism is probably related to the country killing people with American weapons under a giant star of David in the colors of a tallit and the antisemitism might get better if they, you know, stopped doing that

Trump Shares Own Experiences As Victim Of White Genocide WASHINGTON—Saying the plight of white South African farmers affected him on a deeply personal level, President Donald Trump issued a statement Thursday in which he shared his own experiences as a victim of white genocide. “I’ve kept quiet about my past out of a fear that I could still be persecuted, but I too know […]

250 Years of Capitalism: Soulless, Exploitative and All but Unstoppable

Thanks very much to Jennifer Szalai and @nytimes.com for this thoughtful review of Capitalism and Its Critics. "Expansive," the book certainly is!

John seriously?

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk:

-Is not accused of committing any crime

-Is nonviolent

-Was in this country legally

-Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to

-Has been locked up for six weeks

Brooklyn bus stop ads being replaced with guerilla public service announcements.

Gaza and Trump have left the Jewish community at war with itself — and me with a bad case of alienation In these days of alienation, opposing Israel’s Gaza incursion can get you called a traitor — or maybe even deported

Thank you!

'60 Minutes' chief resigns, saying show's independence was compromised The longtime head of CBS' 60 Minutes resigned Tuesday, as the network's parent company grapples with President Trump's lawsuit over an interview the show did with Kamala Harris last fall.

Well, 60 Minutes bit the dust. When this is all over, we’ll remember who the collaborators were and who stood up to defend democracy.

I will never get over this picture--and knowing that both major parties of the U.S. supported it. #gazaholocaust

What if it turns out Stephen Miller is *actually* the devil?
