A State Unknown: LGBTQ+ Advocate Talap Mamyrkanov Faces Deportation
At an Uzbek restaurant in Sheepshead Bay, we ate plov, manti, and shashlik, and talked for a couple of hours. It was summer. The chicken wings he’d insisted on ordering grew cold; I leaned back in my ...

Philip Roth more than once made the point that every neurosis or even psychosis the antisemite imagined of “the Jew” is manifested in the paranoid state apparatus of Israel; it was in the American diaspora that, for a time, we became sane

At a time when there is so much handwringing about the "male loneliness epidemic," I genuinely think Brad Lander and Zohran Mamdani are modeling healthy cishet male friendship. And the fact they did it while officially running against each other for the same office is kind of inspiring.

this administration believes certain people are undeserving of humanity, and seeks to demean them, punish them, and send them to their deaths. It’s deeply evil. We must stand arm in arm with our LGBTQ+ siblings today and always.
Breaking: The Trevor Project received a stop-work order last night on its contract with the national 988 suicide prevention hotline. The Trump administration is eliminating the option for LGBTQ callers to the hotline to press 3 and connect with someone who specializes in LGBTQ mental health.

Amidah: Mincha

These images look different today -- now that the differences are so brazenly magnified and justification for violences both private and public.

Sotomayor: "The majority subjects a law that plainly discriminates on the basis of sex to mere rational-basis review. By retreating from meaningful judicial review exactly where it matters most, the Court abandons transgender children and their families to political whims. In sadness, I dissent."

Do we know any art historians or scholars of contemporary Jewish art? (Since my friend the senior art historian Carol Zemel passed, I do not.)

In 1798 the Federalists rallied behind the Alien and Sedition Acts--laws designed to punish journalists they deemed unfairly critical and deport immigrants they saw as a threat to the nation. The conservative media of its day built support for these laws by circulating batshit conspiracy theories.

this is the game now, as played by elon: be an open antisemite, then pay lip service to the holocaust and the state of israel, get an "all clear" from the u.s. jewish establishment and israeli prime minister, rinse, and repeat.
This is a publicity stunt and we should not praise him for it. Vance will visit Dachau, proclaim himself inspired by the stories of the Jews murdered there, and return to the US to praise the AfD for "moving past" historical guilt and to continue spreading libels about Haitian migrants eating pets.
