Behind a strange controversy over Jewish studies and antisemitism at Indiana University
I thought the German approach to antisemitism could never work in the United States. Maybe I was wrong.

2. “Jews are running society, women need to shut the fuck up, Blacks need to be imprisoned for the most part, and we would live in paradise,” Fuentes said on the March 28 edition of his podcast.
These companies are sponsoring Tucker Carlson while he mainstreams white supremacy
Carlson recently conducted a softball interview of Nick Fuentes, who advocates for racial segregation, praises Hitler, and argues that women should not be allowed to vote.

Also that lots of people talk about these three things but don’t actually want them, they want news they agree with.
We all insist that’s something *other people* do, not ourselves, but there’s a lotttt of it about.
We all insist that’s something *other people* do, not ourselves, but there’s a lotttt of it about.
Objectivity, impartiality and balance are all *different things*, and the lazy tendency to treat them as synonyms, and to use partisan balance alone as a proxy for the others, is the root cause of a vast amount of nonsense.
Robbie Gibb once suggested that reporters should reflect if they were getting more retweets from one side than the other - a braindead analysis that ignores that fair and impartial reporting of education might get more Tory retweets than say, criminal justice.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

It seems untenable for the Democratic Party’s top leader to view himself as a “guardian of Israel” at a time when like 70% of the party’s voters think Israel committed genocide
Senate Democratic Minority Leader Schumer’s decision not to endorse Zohran Mamdani in the NYC mayoral race “was driven in large part…by his self-conception as a guardian of Israel, something he considers a core part of his personal and political identity.”
