This group was founded post 10/7. They cleverly chose a name that makes them sound venerable and respectable but they are basically the Jewish version of Moms for Liberty, completely batshit.

Alex Pareene byline alert

I'm not going to post screenshots for obvious reasons but I have been alerted that a bunch of the top posts in r/MassiveCock are anti-ICE now and anyone who defends ICE in comments is getting yelled down lol

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

a black and white photo of a four-door sedan launched into the air by an explosion just out of frame

in 1973, basque separatists killed spain’s fascist prime minister with a bomb so powerful it launched the car he was in clear over a five story building. he survived the initial attack but died in the hospital

This is fucking gross

they lie and lie and lie and don’t even care enough to craft plausible ones

Moved beyond words by the courage and resolve shown by the people of Minneapolis

Two days ago, 7 democrats voted to fund that execution

i do not know how this goes on for three more years

Rapid responders still out there, tracking ICE. In spite of everything, even now. Heroes

Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.

Arrests calmly ongoing.

This is going to take a while. There are a lot of clergy risking arrest.

The People vs. ICE Renee Good’s death galvanized a city eager to push back against Trump’s invasion.

I wrote about Minneapolis.

For all of the people who have asked me if The Black Dahlia & Zodiac murders got solved at the end of last year, the answer is a resounding, definitive "absolutely hell no."

I know @elongreen.bsky.social got driven insane writing this piece so please give it a read to restore his sanity (and mine)

Columbia Heights school leaders speak out after ICE detains kids ICE agents have detained students on their way to and from school and also tried to get onto school property, the Columbia Heights superintendent said in an emotional news conference Wednesday.

Bill Simmons can be oddly silent—or, at best, tongue tied—when something bad happens involving gambling. I devoted a section to him and The Ringer in my new book, EVERYBODY LOSES, and am grateful that @defector.com published an excerpt today (no paywall):

List and Shout | Lydia Kiesling The labor involved in making lists was as close to the opposite of a transcendent reading experience as a disillusioned culture worker could get.

When the AI slop summer reading list dropped last year I knew I had to write about making book lists. Thanks to @thebaffler.com for letting me go long with bewildered nostalgia & regret on 20 years of Internet book culture & how we made the slop book list inevitable. thebaffler.com/after-the-fa...

Make Heaven Crowded Tour 2026, featuring Erika Kirk.

Make Heaven Crowded is an insane title.

"I agree that there is a compelling reason for this difference between how American college students are reacting to Palestine and to Iran, but I don't like that difference, so I am going to dismiss it anyway."

"The baby was released to her family. Her grandmother says she had a bruised cheek, but is otherwise OK." oh ok, the baby had bruising but was otherwise fine other than the bruising, otherwise, being randomly abducted by ICE, otherwise the baby was fine, just the bruising
