When Vance says that criticizing Israel is not antisemitism, we should all be clear that he's talking about Nick Fuentes and not, say, immigrant grad students protesting genocide.
Now that JD Vance has said "criticizing Israel is not Antisemitism" (CIINA), people on the left should do two things:

1) Watch how he applies this (hint: it will be to protect young white nationalists, not Palestinians);

2) Make sure that "CIINA" is not the only thing you know about antisemitism.

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

Clay letters from ancient Mesopotamia are alive with idiom, sayings, and everyday language that I love.

Here are just a few random ones so you can enjoy them too.

at the tail end of smoking indoors (smoking/nonsmoking sections) my family went to New Orleans when I was a preteen & my brother has asthma & we went into a restaurant w a full smoke haze and he immediately started wheezing . This was just expected
this is a good reminder of how things that are shitty but have been accepted as normal and inevitable can actually turn out to be abnormal and evitable with some science, time, education and political will

this is the unspoken but absolutely clear argument at hand.
That’s the thing man. If they are to be taken at their word the only takeaway is that there should be no black people in any job any other white person wants. One quick Google search for any of these jobs would show there are usually one or two minorities are best in a unit of 20 or 30 or more.
UAlbany, one of those, NY state universities, has been hovering around 4 percent tenure track Black faculty since ever. I am THE Black tenure track political scientists. These folks are just little liars.

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things.

There’s no third option.

Exactly why I always found him so fascinating – more than perhaps any other figure from the Roman world, we can see him in sharp relief, in his full humanity, good, bad, and ugly. He is like the only Roman we can even come remotely close to *knowing* as a person across the gulf of two millennia

I think this is why Cicero’s Letters are like among my favorite ancient Roman texts bc that pettiness is on full display he’s just BITCHING and complaining - often abt the exact same shit your or I would complain about
It's so funny when people idolize Roman aristocrats like Cicero, Caesar, and Sulla, because reading the primary sources about them makes it clear they were catty bitches who insulted each other by gossiping about the shame of a rival's grandpa owning a rope-making business and a bakery

I can *100% assure you* that if this report found that trans people & "wokeness" tanked the Harris campaign, the DNC would release it in a heartbeat
BREAKING: The Democratic National Committee will NOT release its long-awaited autopsy on Trump's 2024 win. The report is completed but Dem leaders decided it could distract from their winning streak, so it will remain secret. Not good.

I think it's good to keep getting mad about evil and unjust things, if only to remind yourself and everyone else that these things are in fact evil and unjust. I don't think it's naive. Nor is it wise and sophisticated to adopt a "You fool, nothing matters and nothing good can ever happen" posture

I somehow missed this part. Former NFL players are *ending their lives* due to the nightmarish effects of repeated brain trauma and Puka's out here saying concussions are fake. Truly astounding ignorance.

If I were running for president I'd mention in every speech and debate that I intend to seize every asset owned by the Trump family and use it on restarting USAID and immigrant/asylum-seeker protection and naturalization programs, just to see if I can make that fucker so mad his head pops.

assault weapons , trans health care bans, and rfk jrs antivax drive all lead to the same clearly desired republican policy outcome: more dead children

if you are a trans teen right now, you do not have the lifetime of experience with the united states federal legislative branch to cope with “this will *probably* die in the senate” on top of the rest of your life and that right there feels like a fucking flavor of abuse at scale.
I haven't been in the pediatric trans healthcare system since 2019 and I can barely look at these headlines without wanting to puke.

Can't imagine the fucking damage this is doing to trans kids today.

the thing most people struggle with is understanding that doj wasn’t hesitant to go hard at trump because they were unsure of the outcome, they were hesitant because they were VERY sure of the outcome (conviction) and it scared the shit out of them.
I also developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt of this, using the investigative methods of "reading the words that the president regularly spoke and wrote in public forums."
BREAKING on MS NOW:

Jack Smith, in his opening statement to House Judiciary, says:

"Our investigation developed proof beyond a reasonable doubt that President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election and to prevent the lawful transfer of power."
