“In the Shadow of the Holocaust: Short Fiction by Jewish Writers from the Soviet Union”—a collection of ten stories Harriet Murav and I translated from Yiddish and Russian—is now available to order wherever books are sold, including the publisher’s website ($20). www.sup.org/books/jewish...
Good for @newyorkstateag.bsky.social for successfully suing the bullies of Betar. Standing up to bullies, especially militant ones, is key to surviving this fascist moment. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/13/n...

Deborah Lipstadt didn’t wait until the suspect in the MS synagogue fire was arrested. She wanted to use the moment to blame protesters against genocide in Gaza. At his court appearance today, the suspect said “Jesus Christ is Lord” when read his rights by judge. Lipstadt is a shameless propagandist.

The officer here is a murderer because he committed murder.
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

“Slop” is the word of the year according to @americandialect.org — and I’m not surprised in the least. 🖕AI.
The American Dialect Society's Word of the Year is SLOP!
“Slop isn’t a new word. It has moved from the pig sty, to the algorithm, and now forms newcompounds such as sloppunk, slopification, and friend slop,” Dr. Kelly Elizabeth Wright said. “This productivity has no end in sight.” 🧵

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

DHS was created to FIGHT terrorists, not to BE terrorists. It needs to be defunded by congress in 2027, and we should select candidates who run on that platform.

Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained.
The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.

“When I speak about making our city more affordable, my vision is not limited to the homes that we live in or the child care that we’re making universal — it’s also a vision where we make it possible for working people to afford lives of joy, of art, of rest, of expression.”

The same people who spent yesterday, and the past five years, insisting a Black police officer who shot an insurrectionist breaking into the Capitol should be prosecuted are today bending over backwards to defend an ICE agent who shot a woman in her car in cold blood.

Looking quite likely that this is the case.
my sense is this: not only are trump and rubio and hegseth lying to the public about the purposes, impact, planning, etc of the attack on venezuela. they are lying to each other. they have no idea what they're doing or where this ends.

Nixon insisted the bombing of Cambodia was just targeting Viet Cong outposts there and not meant to undermine its government, but the bombings destabilized the Lon Nol government and paved the way for the Khmer Rouge’s killing fields and the massacre of more than a million people.
NBC's sources said that "the potential mission in Mexico is not designed to undermine the Mexican government." But that's what it will do if the US is doing CIA drone strikes on Mexican soil over the objections of the president.

Exactly as @joelhs.bsky.social writes. Also: those flipping out about Zohran Mamdani’s scrapping of Eric Adams’s IHRA & anti-BDS executive orders don’t seem capable of asking themselves why an indicted mayor would issue these particular orders (among others) after being indicted in the first place.
Mamdani rescinded every executive order issued by Eric Adams after Adams's indictment, but still the "New York Times" is focusing exclusively on two of those orders that had to do with Israel.
There is someone singling out Israel here. And it isn't Zohran Mamdani.
