If you look at Nefesh B'Nefesh's "community guide"--I.e., the list of communities to which it encourages American Jews to move--you'll see several inside the occupied West Bank, and one inside the occupied Golan Heights. 1/ www.nbn.org.il/community-gu...

Folks, Zohran Mamdani—smart guy, reminds me of a young me—you know what he said, I told him, “Zohran, I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna say the shahada,” and he said to me “Mr. President, you should say a third line confirming your belief in the wilayat of Ali,” should we do it folks? Should we say it?

10+ years ago, when Jabhat al-Nusra became the leading rebel faction in Syria, at least one opinion piece in a mainstream US paper tried to sell the public on supporting them. They were still aligned with Al Qaeda at the time, but the piece seemed to be saying "don't worry, *this* Al Qaeda is good".
Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, the leading faction in the current Syrian government, is an Al Qaeda offshoot but it now has US support, so we don't call it terrorist anymore.
Mali may be the first country to fall to Al Qaeda.
"Malian junta expelled a French-led force and hired Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group, but they too failed to quell violence
Instead, the Kremlin guns-for-hire embarked on a campaign of widespread reprisal"

In the world of Bari Weiss, the No Kings demonstrations which brought 7-10 million Americans on to the streets, simply didn't happen. But she finds space to run her 72nd smear against Mamdani, whose defeat is the idée fixe of her publication. This is the mind that now runs CBS News.

I was listening to an old Casey Kasem American Top 40 (I find this soothing these days) from 1985 where he told the story of Wendy Carlos, who scored The Shining and Tron, and her journey to becoming trans. Casey got all the pronouns right and it was presented as a slice of life, feel good story
Cool tip: it actually takes MORE effort to deliberately misgender someone AND it marks you as a total asshole! Pretty cool!

is it better or worse for ezra klein to legitimately mourn charlie kirk or pretend to because it serves him best? i think it’s a wash. either way he’s using his considerable voice to eulogize him.

idk man if I had just lost my kid to a school shooting and the news cycle was dominated by people loudly mourning the loss of a guy whose life’s work was radicalizing people, largely children, into thinking that’s a cool and normal thing to do while contributing nothing else, I’d probably go insane

counterpoint: these exact same losers say the exact same thing every time anybody talks back or puts a girl in a video game or whatever so i don't think the liberal urge to performatively flinch at the canned backlash is a useful reflex in 2025

many have focused on how morally depraved and evil that free press “investigation” was - and they are absolutely correct - but it’s also just a bit funny how unfathomably stupid it is for a professional journalist to treat as a conspiracy the fact that multiple outlets ran the same wire photos
