PSA. Christmas is neither a secular nor a universal holiday.
If one thinks it is, it is because they've grown up in Christian hegemony.

Every year, I forget that, for those of us who do Shabbat dinner every week, preparing a Thanksgiving meal is not as big a stretch as it seems to be for a lot of people.

People saying Fuentes & Owens are "really good on some issues," they mean "they oppose Israel".
At a fundraiser in the Bay Area with v educated and informed people and a few said, "Hey Fuentes and Owens have changed! They're really good on some issues!"
Sigh. Don't sleep on this, folks.

I believe Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tucker Carlson, Nick Fuentes and Candace Owens have the pulse of the modern MAGA movement going forward.
You can laugh at them and dismiss them as cranks, but you have to pay attention to what they're selling.
This is what comes after Trump.

A lot of discourse here can sound like "those perfidious Jews are at it again" and "I'm not one of those perfidious Jews"
Treating ((Israel)) as the world's ontological evil isn't actually a terribly unique intellectual position.

The absolutely absurd discourse around the Nefesh b'Nefesh event protest will do a lot of explaining if you actually care about why a traditionally Democratic constituency voted 2-1 against the nominee for NYC mayor.

Besides the cruelty, the most obvious feature of this Administration’s talking heads is their arrogant ignorance
WELKER: If tariffs help consumers, why is the administration rolling them back?
BESSENT: You know how much you weigh. You get on the scale every morning. Inflation is a composite number and we look at everything. We try to push down the things we can control.

It remains insane to me that DOGE was treated at the time as an impressive shock and awe accomplishment - “you can’t deny he’s getting stuff done!” - and then instantly memory holed by the press once if became clear it was a total failure by every possible standard including Musk’s own
Difficult to overstate how profound a failure DOGE was. Spending in FY2025 was not only than in FY2024 – but higher than it was projected to be when Trump first took office.*
The little bit of spending DOGE cut has already killed hundreds of thousands and will eventually lead to millions of deaths.

The actual question to ask Mamdani is this.
“What do you say to Jewish NYers who would otherwise support you but don’t believe you respect or understand their connection to Israel?”
I would like to hear his answer to that -and I think it would be thoughtful.

This is a good answer to a bad question….and does not actually get at why so many Jewish NYers are uncomfortable with him
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

I’m going to talk about what it’s like to grow up Jewish in America, but not the way you’ve probably heard. I didn’t realize it at the time, but I had an incredibly special childhood as an American Jewish kid. I grew up in Beverly Hills, surrounded by other Jewish kids.

An informational session on moving to Israel is not the same as a land sale in the West Bank. If you believe in open borders, you shouldn't be against people looking to immigrate.
