Just to be clear, you are defending a Heil Hitler salute that was performed and repeated for emphasis and clarity.

People can officially stop listening to you as any sort of reputable source of information now. You work for them. Thank you for making that crystal clear to all.

The New York Times had entire homepages full of stories on campus antisemitism hearings.

It has not yet written about the biggest human rights organization in the world saying that Israel is committing genocide.

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

“Israel violated ceasefire 100 times”

That is your headline.

Landlord's don't provide housing, they hoard it and hold it over our heads threatening us with homelessness.

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

People like Matt Yglesias are crucial propaganda actors because a faux-intellectual facade is needed to make ignorance palatable to people who want to be seen as informed and even to *feel* informed. These propagandists exist (and are paid) to make ignorance feel like knowledge.

I have a compromise that will please everybody: Hunter Biden should get a full pardon & return to private life in peace but Joe Biden should be arrested for funding war crimes such as this and spend the rest of his miserable life in a jail cell.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

But they might keep people housed, improve conditions, and force landlords to provide services.

🇺🇸: Good news! We brokered a “ceasefire” in Lebanon

🇮🇱: We can still attack if we want

UN: Israel breached the ceasefire 100 times

Hezbollah: We’re responding to Israel’s violations

🇮🇱: Hezbollah breached the ceasefire! We’re attacking

🇺🇸: Israel has a right to defend itself

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

Hunter Biden pardoned. Okay, @POTUS. There are currently appx 89,000 people in federal custody for drug offenses alone. When are their pardons coming?

[Alec Karakatsanis @equalityAlec]

It's important that U.S. liberals draw connections about the primary function of police. Here's a thread from a local Canadian journalist who has done critical reporting on cops and what the cops did in response. Many of the same surveillance companies profit from this globally.

The Vox boys were right, Dems have been screwed by listening to selfish, idiotic, out of touch “groups” — the billionaires and corporate consultants behind all our losses.

[Arnesa Buljušmić-Kustura @arnesa_kustura]

No group, including Jewish people, is entitled to an ethnostate. Ethnostates inherently privilege one group over others, requiring the displacement, oppression, and extermination of other peoples to sustain such a structure.

Zionism, as an ethnonationalist ideology, underpins the establishment and maintenance of Israel as a Jewish ethnostate, often at the expense of Palestinians- whether they are Christian, Muslim, or Atheist.

Critiquing Zionism is not equivalent to critiquing Jewish identity or Judaism; it is an examination of a political ideology that has led to the systemic dispossession, displacement, and ongoing genocide against the Palestinians. The forced removal of Palestinians from their homes and the denial of their rights—both in the past and present—reflect the practical consequences of prioritising one group’s national aspirations over the existence and sovereignty of another.

Ethnonationalism, regardless of the group promoting it, deserves scrutiny, as it directly fuels hatred, exclusion, violence, and the erasure of marginalised communities. Zionism is ethnonationalism. Ethnonationalism is inherently violent and hateful.

Tech was never an ally. Since tech is largely based in CA, they figured out how to launder fascist aims through progressive language (see the Effective Altruist, Longtermist, Cryptocurrency, Gig Economy and YIMBY movements) and now they’re just finally open about the eugenics.

[Moshik Temkin @moshik_temkin]

I know our elites want to talk about everything except this, but as a historian it is my duty to tell you that in such conditions you simply cannot keep a democracy alive. It requires ever more propaganda, authoritarianism, and violence. It is is not sustainable. It is dangerous.

[Maxwell Alejandro Frost @MaxwellFrostFL]

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is one of our most efficient agencies. Costs less than $1B a year & has fought to return over $20B directly to Americans.

But I guess it makes sense that a billionaire wants to eliminate one of the agencies that fights for working people.

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

If you’ve already agreed to a ceasefire and you are carpet bombing civilian areas because there are a few hours until the ceasefire kicks in…you are so far gone around the moral bend it’s hard to see how you come back. This is just killing for sport.

[Jeet Heer @HeerJeet]

Very good corrective data which backs up the reporting of the New York Times that donor money made Harris tamp down on the economic populist message. Useful rejoinder to the various apologia offered by the Harris campaign & their fellow travellers like Yglesias, Noah Smith, etc.
