*but I was born in Albany,” I whisper, when they get around to deciding US Jews gotta “remigrate” to Tel Aviv
A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing.
And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.

The standard you walk past is the standard you accept
Every single congressional Democrat needs to be out there, right now, insisting that Pete Hegseth resign right now and announcing that he will be held accountable for committing war crimes.
If you do not demand accountability here and now, they will only become more emboldened.

Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.

Unacceptable and we cannot let this go unpunished.
SCOOP: For the Trump admin's Sept. 2 strike targeting 11 men on a boat suspected of ferrying drugs, SecDef Hegseth gave an order, officials say, to kill them all. When two men were still alive, orders were given to strike again, finishing them off.

If being like Stephen Miller is what it takes to be one of the “Good Jews,” hardest pass. But he’s in for a rude awakening when the horrible racists who have been allowing him to do their bidding inevitably turn on him too.
Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

The fucking irony of this Jew to cape Third Reich white supremacist talking points BECAUSE his grandparents could assimilate into US culture when whiteness expanded just enough for them.
(One day he might find that this same conditional whiteness he was granted is more conditional+ less secure.)

This is who we're deporting while we're importing sex traffickers like the Tate brothers and white supremacists who are nostalgic for Apartheid.
I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

I hate how we've apparently collectively decided that gestational limits simply don't count as long as they're late enough
3. This map is wrong on multiple levels. Abortion is banned again in North Dakota as of last week; that state is the wrong color. Only 9 states lack a gestational limit and should be dark blue under this key. 41 states have bans

Who are the finders of fact when "reasonable minds can differ?" JURIES.
To be clear, Skandalakis assigned this case to himself. And I disagree with his assessment.
Anyone with this kind of bullshit take of that infamous "find me 11,780 votes" call to Sec. of State Raffensperger was never going to prosecute Trump, Meadows, & the other defendants:

It’s now been a full week. It’s a fun game of chicken we’re playing. Though he may not be self aware enough to realize we’re playing it.
Defense attorney would like Court to do a thing. I am objecting to that thing. Court needs to be emailed so we can discuss whether the Court can do the thing. It appears that Defense Attorney is expecting me to do the emailing. Bro can fuck all the way off on that one.

I’ll say it again: if you’re willing to put someone else’s freedom on the chopping block, you’re part of the problem. Trans rights - everyone’s rights - to exist and seek their own happiness are non-negotiable. We shouldn’t let our elected representatives believe otherwise.
I support Trans rights as much as anyone but it's an electoral loser. It helps Republicans who are ok with shooting trans.

The only conclusion I’ve got on Trump and Mamdani is I don’t think Trump hates Dems (or Dem socialists) for their political ideology. I think he hates them for being “mean” to him. He doesn’t believe in ideals, he just believes in who is being polite to me right now. And Mamdani is a sweetie.
