Just like the ADL -- surrendering principle in exchange for the illusion of a seat at the table
I now habitually check Board of Deputies releases for any statement condemning Farage’s history of antisemitism and racism. Still nothing
Bless the Guardian for continuing to wallop Farage with this, and you can see he flails uselessly when he’s asked about it. But do you see how nobody else is stampeding to assist and, if anything, the right has rallied to his defence? What lessons should we learn here.

It’s sort of infuriating to watch liberals all of the sudden be able to identify war crimes because Trump is doing them

Today on World AIDS Day, we stand with everyone living with HIV.
This year’s theme — Rethink. Rebuild. Rise. — is a reminder that global funding cuts threaten prevention and treatment. Millions risk losing life-saving care. This cannot happen.
We remember, we support, we continue the fight.

There might be no better example of the war coming home than a CIA trained teen death squad recruit getting asylum in the US and then shooting a bunch of soldiers who were deployed to DC for no reason other than Kabuki Security Theater

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Hate to be that guy, and like, the more people learn about King Philip’s War the better, but PBS Origins just blatantly ripped me off.
The title, several of the turns of phrase in the video… their researchers clearly just watched some of my videos and just repeated stuff that I’ve said.

Of that, but this song ain’t directed to ya.
It’s not about your risen god,
It’s more about his risen rod,
Stop using Leonard Cohen‘s Hallelujah!

This week has been a good reminder of this April 1934 headline. Communists and Jews in Belfast disrupt a fascist rally in Library Street. Belfast will always be an antifascist city. We keep showing up for each other to defeat fascism even if the police & state backs it. [1/n]
