Opinion | Mahmoud Khalil Tells His Story

making lunch and listening to this interview with Mahmoud Khalil on The Ezra Klein Show, and it’s fantastic

i’ve got my criticisms of Klein, but his coverage of Israel and Palestine and related issues has been excellent across the board

i’ve become a fairly avid Blank Check listener, but it’s still painful to hear them have an industry guest on who’s basically bursting with a desire to spill beans, and every time he opens his mouth he gets interrupted

in a way, that’s what makes it so depressing to me, that the only solace for these filmmakers is taking Netflix money and praying their movie even exists in anyone’s memory five months later

when you remember that Morgan Spector and Carrie Coon are halfway communists, it makes all else go down smoother

i won't argue the rest, but people in my feed were literally calling it eugenics and i've got someone else quote tweeting me to say it's necessary to call out "supremacy" like the kind apparently in that ad. which is to say, if "tone deaf" was all people had said about it, i wouldn't have commented.

Elizabeth Warren on Why Billionaires Are Doing All They Can to Stop Zohran Mamdani Elizabeth Warren explains why billionaires are boosting Eric Adams and Andrew Cuomo to keep Zohran Mamdani from becoming New York City's mayor.

At @rollingstone.com, @elizabeth-warren.bsky.social lays out the stakes of our election.

"It turns out there are some billionaires and Wall Street CEOs who can’t stand the idea of a mayor who wants them to pay their fair share to create a city that everyone can afford."

the argument that annoying leftists turn people right-wing *is* very silly, and just incorrect, but i think we're agreeing here anyway. just wanted to clarify in case someone sees this and gets even more mad at me lol.

working right now on a story about a group of people who shocked the world by demonstrating a different, better way for the left to approach political messaging, and one of the clear takeaways is that meeting people in good faith is a real, difficult, important way of making community
