a clinical trial is something you conduct to see if a drug is safe, not something you conduct to "build evidence" that a drug should be banned.

The fascist right doesn’t believe that American Jews belong in America. They want us to live in our own ethno-state—not here.
People like Zohran believe America is a multiracial democracy in which everyone should belong.
It’s insane the latter is treated as antisemitism.

The fascist right is split into 2 camps: One wants Jews in our own ethno-state (with many believing it will usher in the end times). The other (like Fuentes) doesn’t want to fund any kind of Jewish project, particularly one that doesn’t actually serve US interests. Both want Jews to leave.

As a diaspora Jew I think ethnonationalism is exceedingly dangerous. It was the cause of suffering in my family for centuries and I honestly don’t care who practices it. If you look at Viktor Orban or Donald Trump or JD Vance of Bibi Netanyahu and see an ally, we are on different sides.

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

When I heard someone say Epstein trafficked more than a thousand women, it stopped me cold. Then I remembered this and it clicked: it all ties back to white supremacy.
Epstein was obsessed with genetic engineering, eugenics, and “improving” humanity, including his own DNA. It’s documented.

A few weeks ago I was talking politics with a local, highly straight, bartender.
All the sudden he said: “Well, I think a big part of the problem is that so many of the people who would’ve been our progressive leaders died of AIDS & can’t help us now.”
And I’ve thought about that every day since.

Music is an extremely important part of artistic human expression, and we must not allow it to rot away because 'it sounds just like the real thing' or whatever.
Musicians are going through it too. Fuck AI.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

But at least 170 Americans they’ve detained know that’s not true.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.
