No mainstream leaders, pundits, media, will treat her life as important as Kirk's.

None will see this shooting as dangerous as Kirk's.

None will value a brown woman as much as that white man.

This isn't just about Republicans. It's the values at the heart of leadership & institutions in America.

This is literally what Weiss and others in her universe see as intellectual diversity.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

eladnehorai antisemitism 2h This goes very deep. As I wrote in a recent piece, the right won't target all Jews right away. They will (and already are) start by targeting progressive Jews, especially anti-Zionist Jews. Since they are not even considered Jews by orgs & leaders, they won't be (and aren't) defended against this antisemitism. And it will get much worse. But such hate never stays localized, as we are seeing with the targeting of the ADL by the FBI. We are all in this together. We need to fight for each other. peter_beinart 5h peter_beinart 7h Why aren't the establishment Jewish groups who talk constantly about Jewish safety demanding that @davidrkadler go free? Because when Jews defy Israel, their safety no longer matters. They cease being Jews at all because for the American Jewish establishment, "Jew" means "pro-Israel." This is what happens when you make a state your god. zarahsultanamp: My friend David Adler (Co-General Coordinator of @progintl_en) is still imprisoned in Israel while others from the Global Sumud Flotilla have been released.

eladnehorai One of the most important things to remember about fascism is it goes in stages. It starts with one of us, then as we accept it, it spreads to others. There is a reason one of the most famous poems from the Nazi era specifically mentions this. They are coming for all of us. In different ways and at different times. But if you are not a rich, white Christian cis heterosexual man, you are on the list. And so we all need to come together. We cannot let the leaders who have transacted our lives to take us all down in the abyss. True solidarity. True collaboration. True trust in the other. It's not just an ideal. It is the only practical way to face fascism. And those who have abandoned solidarity don't realize that they've already endangered themselves. 1h

From @eladn.bsky.social:

We don't talk enough about anti-brown racism.

It is still framed as "immigration," "activists," "crime" etc, which further entrench the racist framing.

And now we are seeing how that plays out, with pundits crying over a white racist while hardly feeling the brown lives being destroyed every day.

Well, luckily Bluesky's reputation is intact

Wait were you gone?! What am I missing? I don't look at Bluesky as carefully for a few days and apparently I missed a lot! Glad that you're back regardless :)

We'll see what they say once one of them is threatened by the administration. They go with the wind (money, clicks, popularity), not with values.

But there are many who actually stick to their values, and it's worth investing in them than debating the men who go where the money takes them.

FBI Director Kash Patel on X: "James Comey wrote “love letters” to the ADL and embedded FBI agents with them - a group that ran disgraceful ops spying on Americans. That era is OVER. This FBI won’t partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs. https://t.co/R6IKpSTfuP" / X James Comey wrote “love letters” to the ADL and embedded FBI agents with them - a group that ran disgraceful ops spying on Americans. That era is OVER. This FBI won’t partner with political fronts masquerading as watchdogs. https://t.co/R6IKpSTfuP

This week, FBI director Kash Patel cut the FBI’s ties with the ADL, calling them an “extreme group functioning like a terrorist organization.”

This is the authoritarian playbook: delegitimize watchdogs, invert reality, and cast those who fight hate as enemies of the state.

Yes!

This! This is everything.

We’re in a civil war without an army for the losing side.

Coates’s line in his discussion with Klein that “sometimes we lose” really stuck with me.

Klein was talking electoral calculations. Coates was talking about those working for true liberation and equality.

To me, this is so much of the difference. Where are we actually trying to go? And how?

This is quite nutty framing until you realize that they mean elites, not, you know, Black people and those who can’t afford lawyers and people targeted by police and

Broken* but I kind of like broke

If by some miracle Democrats are able to wrest power back from Republicans, they must know their immediate job will be to hold Republicans accountable and create ironclad laws to protect and FIX our broke democracy.

That’s step 1 of 1,000.

It was their job in 2021 also. And that’s why we’re here.

Looking up stock photos for "coming together" is giving me... quite a mix of photos

This also helps explain why in Israel the pro-hostage movement is largely anti-Netanyahu while in America it is pro-Netanyahu (or at least, all of his policies re Gaza).

There is a disinformation campaign targeting Jews & all Americans to convince us supporting hostages means supporting genocide.

None revealed yet

Israel is paying influencers $7,000 per post Netanyahu referred this week to a 'community' pushing out preferred messaging in US media — and boy are they making a princely sum

This should be a truly massive scandal in the Jewish world. Obviously, many of us knew and assumed this was occurring, but the proof is now out there and it needs to be called out.

We have US-based influencers pretending to speak for themselves but actually working directly for the Israeli govt.

URGENT: Help Ahmed and Nada survive and find hope in Gaza Update August 28, 2025: Ahmed and his family have been forced to flee the home he rebuilt for Nada and his father Mohamad as Gaza City comes under relentless attack in the latest genocidal assault.

I am not the kind of person who likes to spam donation links, but this is not for a nonprofit or cause, this is for a person who is trying to survive a genocide.

Ahmed recently lost his home after he had to escape Gaza City. Like many Gazans, he is now living in a tent outside the city.

Actually I'll take it a step further and say he is threatening the ADL with an investigation if they don't change themselves inside and out in the same way he and Trump have been working on with the federal government.

Very clear implication here that Musk wants the ADL investigated by the FBI as a hate group. Considering who's in charge there, he may get his wish.

And for folding to authoritarians, in exchange for a false promise of Jewish safety, what does the ADL get in return?

Viciously attacked by the same people they cozied up to.

It's not just not either/or, it's that both are tied together! As is anti-racism work. It's all tied together, and it is the unraveling into separate issues that has so hurt the Democratic Party.

Glad to see candidates who are finally facing that head on.

We're in an era where the orgs & leaders we are used to speaking about antisemitism, even if tepidly, are no longer in that role at all.

Meaning, since October 7th, we've lost even nominal focus on antisemitism, it is purely based on Israel, with some incidental overlap.

We need to fill the void.

People saying the fascism we’re seeing is unprecedented, unimaginable etc miss the larger point.

We‘re not experiencing anything new. We‘re experiencing an *expansion* of existing realities targeting Black people especially. Until we get that, we’ll miss how to fight US fascism at its core.

It is not “big tent” to bring in one group of people by kicking out another group of people.

Elon Musk & X @elonmusk X.com The ADL hates Christians, therefore it is is a hate group 3:04 PM • 9/28/25 • 1.3M Views

The ADL thought it could fall in line with Musk and it would stop his attacks on them. Instead, it just made them complicit, legitimized Musk, and ultimately didn’t actually change him at all.

This is how fascists work. Greenblatt tried being transactional: for fascists, it only goes one way.
