Despite decades of pandering to the Right & much recent covering for the Fascist Musk, the ADL is now in the Right's cross-hairs.

The Jewish advocacy and anti-hate group is at the center of a rightwing backlash campaign led by Musk over the ADL’s online database on extremism

The Lemonheads’ Evan Dando: ‘Some people were supposed to take drugs – and one of them was me’

He was the darling of early-90s alt rock, but success came with the kind of rock’n’roll excess that many of his peers did not survive. Now, having finally quit heroin, he’s back with a new album, a memoir – and no regrets

The email I just received from ebay Ireland would make your head spin...but like (almost) every diaspora Palestinian, I'm in 35 groups that organize protests, raise funds, lobby for evacuations, etc. etc. so I don't have time to fight this. But you should boycott ebay Ireland for sure

we have reasonable cause to believe that you are creating problems or possible legal liabilities for us, our users, suppliers or other third parties;

Not the most important bit in this story, but what a weird comment.

I know 3 guys named Jihad, including a Catholic. Lebanon has Christians named Jihad. The word is in the Arabic bible.

It does not have the same connotations that the post-9/11 Western world thinks it does. It's just a name.

Yesterday, police named the attacker as Jihad al- Shamie, 35, a British citizen of Syrian descent. Asked about his name, on LBC, Mahmood says: • I was very surprised to discover that name myself. Actually, as a Muslim, I've never heard someone being called Jihad, but it is the name that he was born with - that has always been his name. PA Media reports that a police officer is standing guard restricting entrance to Langley Crescent, where Al- Shamie is believed to have lived in the three-bed end- terrace council property. Dozens of reporters are also camped in the street outside as more police arrive in a van at the property in Prestwich, a couple of miles from the synagogue in Crumpsall.

Every journalist and anyone at all really should be thinking hard about their personal and digital security. The surveillance powers of the U.S. state are awesome and they’re demonstrating in real time that they will take whatever they find and make up any old shit

My vow to you:
I will never release a Deluxe Edition / Special Edition mere months after releasing an album.
I will not use weasel words like "Plus", "Artist's Version", "Director's Cut" to get around this.

This is my vow to you.

The presumption of suspicion is exhausting. Also, when people dont engage with my intellectual contribution and think they're being good allies by tokenizing me - that shit is exhausting as well.

The Islamophobia Register will run out of core funding soon and the @albomp.bsky.social government refuses to top it up. It received only $1 million, compared to the $25 million received by the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.

This differential treatment is why what happened on Sky happened.

Thank you @tonyburkemp.bsky.social for doing the decent thing. The LNP Opposition is just a milling rabble at this point, kettling itself into every available corner and shouting nonsense at each other & everyone else while occasionally auto-defenestrating.

I’m a fierce critic of Albanese Gov on their failures on refugees but when they show positive leadership it should be encouraged and recognised. Shame on the Coalition for attacking Tony Burke for welcoming newly arrived Palestinian refugees. This is his job, to champion our multiculturalism.

Tucker May
9h
My name is Tucker May. In April I married the love of my life, Barbara Marques. Right now I fear for her life.
A week and a half ago she was taken by ICE at our properly scheduled green card meeting at the Federal Building downtown. At the end of what we were told was a successful meeting, the officer used the excuse of a broken copier to trick her into walking away from our lawyer. Once separated from her legal counsel, she was arrested. The reason for her detention was a missed court date from 2019 which my wife was never notified about.
We have been working with lawyers since that time to correct the situation. The Adelanto detention center has actively been keeping my wife from correspondence with her lawyer by delaying in giving her documents that were mailed to the facility.
راال

Last night, she was taken from the Adelanto facility to an undisclosed destination despite our lawyer having filed a temporary restraining order to stop this from happening. They could be sending her anywhere in the world and we have no way of knowing.
I'm asking for help in bringing to the attention of media and authorities these multiple lapses in due process and proper procedure through the unwarranted deportation of a woman whose legal marriage has been duly recognized as legitimate by immigration through the 1130 petition process.
Please, if you have any contacts who could help, send them this information.
