The truth is that antisemitism is real, horrible, terrifying, and all over the world, all throughout history
But it's more shaped like the 2017 Charlottesville guys chanting "Jews will not replace us," or people Seig Heil-ing than "please stop starving children and bombing hospitals"

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

What's really strange is not the ad itself. It's that someone thought "Let's advertise someone who is fully isolated and talks to a machine because there is no human being around, that's going to make people want to be like him" and actually got this through internal processes.

Need an analog to the “police passive” for this kind of description of sexually abusive men “being Me Tooed”—as if they were merely caught in a storm, their own actions and behavior irrelevant to their outcomes. Call it the predator passive.
When you write the whole piece around the idea of “MeToo” as an adequate description of what caused specific men to lose specific positions, and when you do this incredibly weird cutesy business to avoid *mentioning what happened*, you do a disservice to readers.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Rudy Bridges is younger than the Sitting President of the United States and 29 sitting United States Senators
It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!
65 years ago on Nov. 14, little Ruby Bridges was escorted into an all-white elementary school in New Orleans. Norman Rockwell, renowned for blissful depictions of Americana, did this remarkable painting for Look magazine. Printed as a double page, over-size spread, it's his masterpiece.

My favorite theory for why Dems don't chase winning issues is because they don't want to be on the hook for solving them when they win
eg their ideal administration would faff around with a blocked, market-based infra project for 19 months. Campaigning on Epstein means having to clean house
eg their ideal administration would faff around with a blocked, market-based infra project for 19 months. Campaigning on Epstein means having to clean house
made a similar point on the opinions podcast this week in response to the idea that epstein is a dead end. not only are actual voters interested in this but it divides the gop and puts pressure on the president. it would be political malpractice to treat it as a sideshow
The usual suspects are telling Dems that Epstein won’t win elections, get back to “affordability” and I think my head might explode. www.offmessage.net/p/force-a-re...

It's very interesting how the media pushed the line that arresting politicians 'makes you a banana republic' when the reverse is absolutely true.
History shows that democracies don’t survive when their leaders live above the law. This danger is magnified by Trump’s pardoning or promising to pardon people who’ve already committed crimes on his behalf, acts intended to benefit him politically or personally.
