"Eggs expensive under Biden" was a story for six months. "Trump made everything expensive on purpose" is apparently just a Trump personality quirk we're all supposed to get used to.
Shapiro was fine with Trump wearing a kippah out of respect but not with Hochul donning a hijab out of respect. He wants people to be Islamophobic but not antisemitic and it’s just not sustainable and so dangerous for Jewish communities.
@RealSarahIdan This is largely representative of the current view within Israel… even here in the US most “pro Israel” people do not like Islam or Muslims or will at the very least align themselves with these kinds of people.
@cpscott16 At most we’ve dismantled a lot of the most capable terror group’s capabilities for a time but like you said look in parts of Africa, Mali for example is in a deep power struggle with JNIM, and if you look at Sudan the RSF may not be from the ME but it’s supported by the UAE.
"Just."
2008: it's just Georgia.
2014: it's just Crimea.
2015: just freeze the lines.
2022: he just wants the Donbas.
2026: just give him Donetsk.
The most expensive word in European history. Every time the West says "just," Moscow hears "next."
He is speaking at the ‘Jewish American Summit’ and getting applause for saying ‘I don’t want Muslims in America.’
I’m trying to imagine the reaction from our media and politicians if a speaker at a ‘Muslim American Summit’ said, to loud applause, ‘I don’t want Jews in America.’
@mattxiv I’m trying to figure out what’s racist or Islamophobic about it. AES has a series of controversial tweets surrounding 9/11 (when out of context, which the article provides) and AES has campaigned with and refused to condemn Hasan Piker, someone who supports terrorism loudly.
@ProgressiveVic And refuses to condemn them outside of “my campaign isn’t about a California streamer”, and this article is just talking about this. How is this racist or Islamophobic?
@ProgressiveVic Maybe I’m just missing this, what is racist or Islamophobic about this? AES has had a series of past tweets surrounding 9/11 that are controversial especially out of context but are contextualized in the article, he has campaigned with someone who supports terrorism—-
@mehdirhasan@fshakir@DavidJUrban So is your answer to the medias double standard on political extremism to invite and accept left wing extremism in the form of people like Hasan piker? Just because the media is more harsh on these extremist from our side we just should defend them?
Every week Israeli settlers march through the Old City of Hebron, accompanied by the army, harassing Palestinians on their way. Sometimes these marches turn into full-scale pogroms, with settlers burning Palestinian businesses and attacking people with impunity.
Yesterday was on the less violent side, but the soldiers still harassed the locals and the journalists, and closed down Palestinian stores.
If a senior advisor to the President of the United States said this about any other religious group they would be rightfully fired the same day. But because of the disgusting normalization of Islamophobia there’s little to no coverage of this in the national media.
This is a problem that is only getting worse. We have to find a way to better track and report funding in the new media space before trust is completely gone.
Right now we're mostly relying on the integrity of influencers. That's not a viable long-term strategy at baseline but especially when the financial incentives keep climbing.

@mickeymorant They were both dead wrong but are you really going to pretend that there aren't legitimate reasons to avoid associating with destiny? The guy who admitted to keeping CSAM on his computer and has an open court case for revenge porn? On top of his really “edgy” behavior?
