Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

ICE raid this morning at Cypress Park Home Depot. I can’t imagine much more awful than seeing grown men running terrified through the aisles, unless it’s the teenage girl I saw in tears on the sidewalk, describing the arrest she saw. I was in there for some picture hooks.

And we cannot placate them because they do not actually want the things they say they want. They do not want to be heard (they are heard) or to be treated fairly in politics (they are in control of the country). They want to feel victimized so they can retaliate.

Big tech promotes the story that since ChatGPT burst onto the scene, AI has been so popular it's rushed to meet the demand. The reality is different. A study by design scholars shows tech co's have had to push AI on its users with a variety of intrusive tactics.

This merch is the stuff people are going to find in their parents’ basements in 50 years and go “god, I know it’s important historical context but I just don’t want to touch it, do you think a museum would want it or should I just burn it”
My latest: Alligator Alcatraz, Florida’s immigrant concentration camp, has its grand opening today after being built in one week. Trump, DeSantis and Noem will be there to celebrate their collaboration.
I wrote about this fulfillment of a Republican wet dream—complete with tacky merch:

“Christian Zionists are better Jews than Jews who do not support the state of Israel” is absolutely where American political discourse is headed.
Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner says she "100%" questions the faith of Jewish politicians who endorse Zohran Mamdani.
"The same way I would question Chuck Schumer, who works against the interests of his own people at times for the politics."
Emily Compagno then accuses Mamdani of Holocaust denial!

We've reached a point in the Upside Down where the white Christian nationalists are threatening to strip citizenship status from ethnic minorities and political opponents and claim it's FOR JEWS.
These tactics have been used against Jews by fascists and authoritarians countless times in the past.
