Progressives need to reclaim patriotism, because progressives are the ones embodying it.

There’s nothing offensive about invoking the Holocaust to defend human rights.
@governorwalz.mn.gov
and Bogie Ya’alon understand this, but the US Holocaust Museum does not.

The elimination of USAID was an unforgivable moral atrocity that should haunt Trump, Elon Musk and Marco Rubio for the rest of their days and beyond

On Israel-Palestine, Mamdani's coalition of anti-Zionists and liberal Zionists represents the future of the Democratic Party

Because he's more interested in defending Israel's impunity to commit war crimes than in defending American democracy
05.11.2025 05:35 — 👍 81 🔁 13 💬 0 📌 1I wonder if the folks attacking @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for singling out Israel have noticed that Hindu nationalists loathe him too. Why? Because his opposition to religious, ethnic + racial supremacy is NOT confined to Israel. He's a principled opponent of ethnonationalism, including in India

The attacks on Mamdani show that Jewish leaders will sacrifice almost anything to preserve Israeli impunity. They'll support a sexual harasser + an anti-Muslim bigot. They care more about preserving Jewish supremacy in Israel than defending legal equality in the US

One might think that after Amnesty, B'Tselem, the UN and the International Association of Genocide Scholars have accused Israel of genocide, rabbis would feel some need to answer their arguments. Instead, they simply waive them away.

The US isn't giving Sudan+Syria weapons to commit those crimes. If Michael Oren is concerned about Sudan, he should urge Israel to impose sanctions on the UAE, which is arming genocidal militias there. But he couldn't care less about Sudan. It's a transparent effort to deflect criticism of Israel.

In his speech on living openly and proudly as a Muslim in New York, Zohran Mamdani captured the ethos that has made this city such a remarkable home for Jews. He described the city in which I want to live

I disagree with much of what Senator Rand Paul believes. But he believes in something beyond his own ambition. And he's willing to risk something for his beliefs. Unlike most of his Republican colleagues, he's not a coward. He's a patriot.

"Seem" is generally a tipoff the author wants to believe something but won't do the work to find out if it's true. Mamdani constantly frames his criticism of Israel as part of his commitment to human rights everywhere.

Always remember this about politicians willing to spew anti-Muslim bigotry for political gain. When they decide it's in their political interest to spew antisemitism, they'll do that too.

Why is Israel declaring "victory" in Gaza when many of its aims were not met? @peterbeinart.bsky.social writes that the real goal is the same as it has been for decades: maximum land, minimum Palestinians. Trump's ceasefire plan is another step in that direction.
