The fascist right doesn’t believe that American Jews belong in America. They want us to live in our own ethno-state—not here.
People like Zohran believe America is a multiracial democracy in which everyone should belong.
It’s insane the latter is treated as antisemitism.

Abolish ICE was the correct stance before Trump.
There is a legitimate need for immigration and customs enforcement but this group has long had a malevolent culture that cannot be repaired. Start over or assign to a different group.

eric swalwell said on msnow that a major goal of a dem majority after the midterms would be for ice masks to come off and badges to come out, this is insufficient

Here in the year MMXXV I say don’t let Mamdani force your kids to use Arabic numerals!
"Second, the Mayor-elect hasn’t made any statements, written or verbalized, public or private, regarding Arabic numerals. Because it would be silly. You know why? We already use Arabic numerals every day. All of us."
Sigh... We Already Teach Arabic Numerals
Why are they like this?

Condé Nast could use a justified firing.
"One person familiar with Nuzzi noted that her current contract may only run through the end of this year, meaning the magazine could let it quietly expire over the holidays."
The odds that she doesn't actually write for Vanity Fair is pretty high.

Scoop: As questions swirl around Olivia Nuzzi, I’ve learned she’s been relatively absent in the day-to-day at Vanity Fair, as the magazine continues to weather the storm the controversial hire brought through 1 World Trade Center

Two years ago, a well-known conservative criticized the FBI director’s use of a government plane to take a personal trip.
“Maybe we ground that plane. Fifteen thousand dollars every time it takes off. Just a thought.”
Guess what?

I’m terribly disappointed in my congress member Pat Ryan. He voted for a performative resolution condemning socialism, whose purpose is clearly meant to conflate communist socialism with Democratic Socialism.

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

The party that promised "free speech on campus" has made sure there can be no free speech on campuses.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.
