I assume her point here os not that nunkofniks are *not Jewish*, but that they are *not representative of Jews*, not even "ultra-Orthodox" Jews (and that they have a lot of beliefs and practices you wouldn't expect progressives to endorse, though that's also true of Hamas)

I am ONCE AGAIN asking gentiles to learn one (1) thing about Neturei Karta apart from their stance on the State of Israel.

In fact, Ultra-Orthodox Jews (among many other sects) angrily reject Zionism precisely because it's against - not merely unnecessary to - Judaism. Here, so you learn something about Judaism:

Which is it: Israel isn't Jewish, or an attack on Jews is actually targeting Israel?

Seeing a *lot* of Chabadniks today, even considering the date. I wish I hadn't put the pun in my display name so I could do it in this skeet

Of course not, it might upset conservatives

"As it is normal to be opposed to any nation" is doing fuckin' work there

As someone with ADHD, I actually deeply relate to Jonah, because I too will spend exponentially more time avoiding tasks than it would take to do them, and will imprint on a random plant and become inconsolable with grief when it dies.

It's that time of year again, where Jews get to talk about how much of a whiny little bitch Jonah is.

Pete Hedgseth (who is not important enough for autocorrect to have his name and definitely not important enough for me to look it up) is a weak person's idea of a tough guy

Article is paywalled, was it internal pressure or external?

Neither is good, but they're bad in different ways

Seeing (the first half of) this with the Zabar's/Zohran shirts. Is it outreach, or appropriation? Well if you think he's sincere, it's the first; if you don't, it's the second.

The problem Mamdani is going to run into trying to distance himself from antisemitic rhetoric is that Jews aren't going to believe him and antisemites are

I'm not sure the Left wants good things more than they want to complain

Forty-two years ago today, Stanislav Petrov saved the world by questioning his country's nuclear-warning alert system + ignoring his instructions to launch a counter-attack against the US.

Something to consider as we deploy AI systems with increasing authority and autonomy.

It's Stanislav Petrov Day, the day the world was saved by one man's decision to think and not react. I wrote him a poem.

For generations, low voter turnout has been a huge problem for democracies. Now, with genAI

I think they also don't believe persuasion is possible, so they don't think it's worth trying to get anyone on their side

*ǵerh₂os is getting intense @calieber.bsky.social · 19d

It's been that way…pretty much as long as humanity has had politics, probably, but certainly since the days of Tammany etc

The ACLU isn't really leftist, even if they're often on the same side.

*ǵerh₂os is getting intense @calieber.bsky.social · 21d

I think over the last 5 years we've been reminded the answer is yes

*ǵerh₂os is getting intense @calieber.bsky.social · 21d

I'm thinking about the problem of, the GOP platform, such as it is, is so out there that quoting it sounds like hyperbole. Is there a chance speculation, however well grounded, could hurt credibility? Is there a way to avoid or mitigate that?

Save myself the $6 in subway fare I have to get from 12 different ATMs with three different cards

If a protest consists of a bunch of anonymous people who show up, chant for a bit, then disperse leaving no evidence that it ever happened, what's the point? If "good opsec" means protesting is indistinguishable from not protesting, I may as well not bother

How has there been a multi-day crash out over using email registration for protests. You can just go to them
