What a great societal moment to have an outbreak of nihilist shitlord school shootings. We are definitely well equipped to handle this issue!

Media challenge: try writing headlines without using the word "antisemitism". Stop using Trump's framing for his authoritarian actions.
"Trump administration now monitoring immigrant social media" would be shorter and more accurate, since no-one really believes this is about anti-semitism.

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

Once again, this does absolutely nothing to help Jews. Genuinely makes things worse.

I am Jewish.
I have spent literally my entire life on university campuses.
I was the child of two Jewish professors.
Since kindergarten I have spent exactly one year as neither a student nor a professor.
I have, on occasion, experienced antisemitism. But never on a university campus.

Gavin Newsom and Tim Walz talk about Steve Bannon on the latest episode of Newsom’s new podcast.
Newsom says that what Bannon says reminds him a lot of what Democrats used to say 20-30 years ago.

I wrote about this a few years ago. As someone who joined a cult in my 20s, I strongly believe a big draw is how utterly banal much of life is in many democracies.
Far right groups provide purpose, community, and identity.
This is why solving extremism goes deeper than just fighting against it.

Proclaiming the president to be the physical embodiment of the “will of the people”? Doing a great job of beating the Hiterlite accusations Mr. Musk!

Beyond being an obvious violation of the First Amendment and a serious threat to international students/faculty, this order is awful for Jews. Continues the obfuscation and diminishment of antisemitism while fostering distrust and antipathy towards us.

I was just writing about this. Not confident that such a dynamic will help improve the efficiency of an already inept kleptocracy.
There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

We failed to stop fascism's rise. Now it's dancing about on the White House lawn. I don't know how to fix all this but I do know that the shit we've been doing won't get us out of this one.

the morning after OSU's national championship, I have one big question: why did everybody else let OSU take over a billion-dollar sport for just $20 million?

Ohio State's $20 million bargain
Everybody seems to think it's ridiculous that Ohio State spent $20 million on their roster. So do I. There's no way a team this good should cost that little.

MAGA is fueled by fear of change. Anger that the world isn’t the same as it used to be, that they (mainly white men) are not as culturally or politically dominant as they once were.
