Apparently I’m as antisemitic as Ms Rachel.

Will find out more details at my synagogue this week.
-Nick Fuentes considers Jewish people subhuman (not on list)
-Musk repeats Sieg Heil and won’t apologize (not on list)
-Trump praises neo-Nazis (not on list)
-Ms. Rachel says we shouldn’t bomb or starve children (on list)

Antisemitism is real. This hypocrisy makes a mockery of it.

Everyone is getting upset about the data centers. They pollute a lot and use a lot of energy and will eventually be very ugly/huge vacant buildings. And I understand being mad about that. Until you consider the state of the lazer tag industry at this moment, and how much help that sector needs.

My first guess today eliminated all but three words…….and it took me three guesses to get the correct one.

Gonna be one of those days.

Trump is offering not a foreign policy of restraint but of imperial exploitation — attacking Venezuela for no reason while abandoning Ukraine in turn to be attacked by its stronger neighbor.

Trump's foreign policy isn't restrained, it's violent and cynical and bad

Senator Kelly is correct.

Plus a Public Service Announcement:

KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.

The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

On the horrific news that Pete Hegseth ordered the killing of boat bombing survivors, remember: The Trump Murder Memo "authorizing" the strikes preemptively clears those carrying them out. That's unusual. And we still haven't heard from the commander who resigned:

A nation that allows criminals to be pardoned by the very person who orders their crimes, is a organized crime syndicate masquerading as a nation.

The Trump regime granted asylum to the alleged DC shooter in April. Kristi Noem lies that the Biden administration did not vet him. But if that were true, why didn't the Trump regime vet him? Is Noem saying they trusted Biden, whom they blame for everything bad that's happened since Trump took over?
WELKER: What vetting did the Trump administration do before giving this suspect asylum?

KRISTI NOEM: The vetting process happens when the person comes into the country and Joe Biden completely did not vet any of these individuals

If any of these victims voted for Trump, I’d love to hear how they feel about it!
Trump just commuted the 7-year sentence of David Gentile, a private equity leader who helped defraud thousands of people out of some $1.6 billion, almost as soon as his prison stint began.

"I lost my whole life savings," one person wrote, adding, "I am living from check to check."

I suggest that we start using the phrase "Mr. Beast and the CEO of Salesforce will be there too." as shorthand to explain how little we want to be at any given terrible event.

“[Eventually] humanities depts will be forced to accept AI-authored assignments, as part of revised university policy to cooperate with these billionaires. It's already happening, and our response needs to be decisive. Because our students' ability to *think* is at stake.”

really important thread ⬇️
An issue we're seeing at all levels of university is that many students are simply refusing to do *anything*. They aren't reading the syllabus, aren't following assignment guidelines, aren't engaging with material, ignoring deadlines. And this might seem like old news, but it truly has ramped up.

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.

This is who MAGA is now.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.
