Can confirm

Being Jewish with a very non-Jewish sounding name is *a trip*.

People will openly tell you the craziest most bigoted stuff before you let them know you're a member of the tribe and it gets all awkward...

Whatever one thinks of the decision to bomb Iran (I believe there may be a humanitarian case, though I could be wrong), what remains deeply troubling is how few people are involved in such consequential decisions — and how weak the democratic accountability is.
War powers in a democracy should not rest in so few hands.

For the record, I'm not so sure the ump was wrong on this one. The strike zone bottom is a point just below the kneecap when the batter is prepared to swing. And, what do you know:

At what point will we as medical physicians, medical schools, medical organizations take a unifying stance against Sec Kennedy repeatedly making these ridiculously, inflammatory, & inaccurate statements?

Trump spoke of “shylocks,” which is one of the most recognizable antisemitic terms in modern English. Watch who tries to explain this away.

@cody_chgo Daniel Murphy and Justin Turner

This Cubs team is a solid starting pitching rotation away from being serious World Series contenders. This will be the most important trade deadline for the Cubs in a decade.

Let’s go Jed. #JedsLeague #TeamJed

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

The administration's response to the Signal debacle is just suffused with contempt for their own voters. Just an endless belief that the people who support them can be tricked into believing the laziest misdirection imaginable.

[Danny Boy @Care2much18]

This wildly misleading tweet, and the mostly hateful replies, is like entering an alternate version of reality.

If anybody is interested in the truth behind this claim, and what that Swedish poll actually asked, I'll go through it.

Probably banging my head against a wall. 😂

@aestheticsof9 Last week I got a first hand score of half a billion and I've been chasing that high ever since.

Obama in Milwaukee:

If you’re a Jewish American “worried about the rise of antsemitism. Why would you place your faith in somebody .. who sat down for pleasantries with Holocaust deniers, who said that there were very fine people on both sides of a white supremacist rally?”

@JZPhilosophy This Selzer poll really just adding another hill to this vibes roller coaster we're all on.

[Eric Benjamin Mackey @MackeyEric]

@RpsAgainstTrump @Timodc Ok. But why is Piers Morgan platforming the other guy? Seems outrageously irresponsible.

Ok yes, I am excited for this World Series.

This is so funny. And yes I did order a set.

Seriously, my non-jewish friends...please don't do this. This has strong "baptizing Jews after death" vibes.

[David Grossman @davidgross_man]

I feel like this is one of those things where Jewish Twitter, in its vast, vast differences, can put everything aside for 5 seconds and be like, "hey, you're really weird, stop doing that*
