Patel "targeted an elite counter espionage unit that investigates threats from foreign adversaries and specializes in Iran" days before the US attacked Iran.

Great thread here:
02.03.2026 01:38 β π 261 π 57 π¬ 1 π 1I can't emphasize enough that the idea of a Paramount-WB merger producing 30-40 movies a year is an absurd fiction. First WB will become the "classy" label within Par (which is only about Rescue Rangers, Scream and existing IP). Then it will become the specialty or streaming label. Then it will die.

"She started saying 'Tax Israel, 'Tax the Jews, and immediately I was like 'No, no, no, not that one, don't say that - I'm a Jew, I don't think you should say that." Pancia said she paused and then "she started saying it again." "There were multiple attempts to speak with her, and then there was an attempt by us to drown her out by repeating the 'Tax the Rich' chant," said Christin Evans, another participant. At one point, Evans said she told the woman: "That's not why we're here."
"We didn't really have a way to stop her, so we just started chanting over her and eventually she just rambled on," added Marc Dantona, another protester. Jennifer Bolen, co-chair of DSA San Francisco, said that when she walked up to the woman to tell her to leave, "she blew up at me, threw her hands up, I stepped back, and then she left."
Seems like the former.
Not that their efforts seem to stop outlets and individuals who want to stoke unwarranted fears of widespread antisemitism on the left from mischaracterizing the incident, as the article explains.

I get thatβs what you feel, but itβs not what I see. Nihilism and βboth sides are the sameβ isnβt realism or pragmatism; itβs surrender.
No one on the electable left is likely to be the next Mao. Meanwhile, the other side is killing us in the streets & buying real estate for concentration camps.
So not really trying to downplay that βold man shakes fist at cloudβ look, eh? π
Me, Iβm not ready to write it all off just yet. Maybe letβs try the untried (in this country) leftist ideas before we give in to rage and despair. Just a thought!
Nobodyβs voting yet! Itβs all just talk right now.
The message that establishment Dems arenβt meeting the moment is spot on, and if that rhetoric encourages support for other, better candidates than the usual crop of neoliberal narcissists centrists, great!
Sorry if it sounds like Iβm lecturing, but we need to find common ground. Fighting each other only aids the enemy.
Lashing out with hate when youβre attacked or hurt is just more in-fighting.
I havenβt faced the torrent of vitriol you have, so maybe Iβd be bitter too. But rising above IS the answer. I find standing up for others to be a more effective way to get them to stand up for me too.
And I lost half my family to the camps, so itβs not like I donβt have generational trauma!
I take all statements about the general with a huge grain of salt. Most of it is posturing to influence primary voters. So basically just politics, which, you know, fair enough.
But the stakes for trans folks are a LOT higher than for you and me, so try to endure the name calling.
(a) she doesnβt want you dead, which matters, (b) every president in your lifetime has also at times aligned with antisemitic world (and American!) leaders, (c) if itβs a 2-person race in the general, I believe we all have a moral obligation to vote to reduce harm.

This would be, in every way, worse than a Netflix-WB deal. No point in preserving the integrity of the theatrical experience for a company funded by a right-wing ideologue. I don't believe there's a world in which Larry Ellison funds One Battle or Sinners. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/15/b...

New from me, at @vqr.bsky.social: a few years ago two people contacted me about a TEDx talk I once gave, βThe Art of Haunting.β
When I replied Iβd never given a TEDx talk, things just got weirder.
On AI, ghosts, what it means to tell a story, and what Italo Calvino saw coming 60 years ago. Enjoy!
