Excellent article. "Why are we pretending that Tlaib’s generalized complaint about the right to dissent is the same thing as Trump’s constant incitements to political violence?"
I wrote on the shockingly bad CBS interview of Ta-Nehisi Coates, the watering down of “antisemitism,” and the fear, dread and confusion of this year’s Jewish high holidays and upcoming U.S. presidential election. It’s a lot. But maybe it resonates with you, too. L’Shanah Tovah.
That’s why as we approach this high holiday season, which in 2024 contains the one-year anniversary of the October 7 attacks on Israel and falls one month before the U.S. presidential election, I have never felt more alone, more upside down or more fearful for the next year.
Study out in Nature today finds that conservatives have indeed faced more sanction on social media sites because they very, very clearly share more fake bullshit news www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Beautifully stated. If we can use Trump's time in office as a counterfactual, he will kill as many Palestinians as possible, but he'll also get a lot of Israelis killed by spilling intelligence secrets. Maybe that's what they want.
I have to believe that these people are either trolls or the kinds of people who also think that Biden is responsible for ending Roe v. Wade. Either way, they do not care about Palestinian lives, or they would do something other than simping for Trump.
Yes, they do. There's a very famous essay about it: joycearthur.com/abortion/the...

My FIL voted for Trump in 2016 for two reasons: 1) Trump was pro-choice 2) Bill Clinton was a rapist and no one who supported a rapist could be trusted as president. Yup.
I keep trying to point out to the (white, aging) townies that immigrants have lower crime rates than our actual notoriously corrupt police force.
Posted this on twitter at the end of the first COVID year, and it feels fitting now: On Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year, we recite a 13th century piece of liturgy that says "Let a year and its curses end, let a year and its blessings begin". I wish this for us and for all of you.
Civility is not a virtue!
