It's one thing I truly loathe about these assholes (who dominate our politics & culture now). They can't tolerate something good & pure *existing*. Even if it's no bother to them, no bother to anyone, they can't tolerate it. Nothing can live outside their control, their narrow boxes, their fear.

John Oliver taking Bari Weiss and The Free Press to town was appreciated. She’s such a hollow fraud: her success just reflects how hollow and fraudulent the current ruling class is

Capitulating to bad-faith people who are acting in bad faith is cowardice. It is also never, ever, ever, ever, ever a good idea.

It's grimly funny that the political right is getting people on the left fired for not being sufficiently sad about Charlie Kirk's death despite the fact that their movement is what actually killed him and that, in reality, they don't really give a rat's ass about him.

An antisemite shot two kids in Colorado, at least one of whom is Jewish.
The White House “fighting antisemitism” doesn’t care, because the shooter was a student radicalized online into far right beliefs, which the regime is cool with, rather than a student verbally criticizing Israeli govt policy.

I wish people would realize there is no contradiction here. The right wing hate Jews but loves Israel (a. Because it is a fellow fascist government b. Because their doomsday cult beliefs require Jews to rule Judea before the second coming immolates them all).

PSA: When you publicly pontificate over whether the shooting of the Israeli embassy staffers was "antisemitic or merely anti-Zionist", every Jew--of any view on Israel--understands that you're silently evaluating our connections to Israel to decide whether our murders would be worth mourning over.
