Stephen Miller is back in the news and folks love to compare him to vampires and lizards/lizard people and just a reminder those are both really insidious, long standing antisemitic tropes. That man is extremely evil there are lots of other ways we can criticize him without doing antisemitism.

Hey so just FYI, there's an antisemitic connection between Jews and vampires (that invokes blood libel - the idea that Jews drink the blood of babies) and even though Miller is a disgusting evil piece of shit it's best to refrain from saying a jew is a vampire.

Do you remember a couple years ago when Boston Children’s Hospital was targeted with bomb threats because of disinformation of their gender-related services, and a woman was arrested? She was convicted, and in the defense sentencing memorandum is something interesting.

In a normal campaign, this would have dominated the weekend’s news. I wrote about @gregsargent.bsky.social’s scoop about the Christian nationalist GOP nominee for NC Gov calling for murder of his political enemies: ‘Some folks need killing’: www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | ‘Some folks need killing’: North Carolina Lt. Gov takes Christian nationalism to dangerous lowwww.msnbc.com Mark Robinson’s newly explicit calls for killing perceived enemies show how seamlessly Christian nationalists can glide into promoting real violence.

Curious how France is described as political chaos because two parties with ≈60% of the seats in Parliament will negotiate a PM, whereas Netanyahu is always described as the will of the Israeli people, rather than the negotiated choice among eight parties with 53% of the seats.

Honestly, what kind of bananas frame this story like this? Is shit serious or not, fucken freaks?

Every big media organization was so crossed-up by Trump winning in 2016 that they have been behaving and hiring as if Long Island-Coded Suburbo-Racist Sociopathy was on an unstoppable ascent worldwide, and interpreting everything backwards from there. It turns out most people actually hate it!

It’s amazing the extent to which our billionaire tech bro overlords are just telling us out loud that they are rooting for fascism. Makes me slightly nostalgic for the days when American plutocrats plotted against democracy in secret.

The left shouldn’t choose celebrities period. Socialism is not a brand and that will never work out. Thought leaders should emerge through their theory and how they apply it That’s it

Ken Klippenstein is streaming with George Galloway. The Young Turks are hosting RFK Jr. One ex bernie spokesperson is streaming with candace owens and another is defending Nick Fuentes. Brianna Wu is hanging with lauren southern. Maybe now is the time to re-evaluate how the left chooses celebrities.

Just to be clear, this is Silicon Valley VC bro/Musk acolyte David Sacks coming down on the side of the Le Pen family, whose patriarch called Nazi gas chambers a "minor detail" of history and whose ex-wife alleged he nicknamed Hitler "Uncle Dolfie" while snarling "The Jews are invading France."

what if - instead of attempting to ban porn and end internet anonymity in the name of “protecting children” - we actually protected them by making sure they have enough to eat

Meanwhile eight states, seven Democratic trifectas (CA, CO, MA, ME, MI, MN, NM) and Vermont, took a lesson from the pandemic and made universal free school meals permanent.

No rules or laws were broken in France, by the way. Nothing says you can't drop out of the race, nothing says you can't make agreements with an opponent to make sure the stronger of you beats the fascists and the weaker walks away. It's "cheating" when they don't get their way. That's all.

By "cheating" he means candidates on the left and center were willing to drop out of the ranked choice race in order to prevent Nazis from being elected. Just like America! My memory's fuzzy; do we have ranked choice elections in the US, or ... ?

katie work updates: on a whim i checked my work's covid policy and apparently as long as i isolate for 5 days it's fine for me to come back to work on day 6 even if i am still testing positive. unbelievable. the handling of covid in this country has been an absolute clown show.

Reminder that AC can cause dehydration. I know that there is a heat wave hitting and it’s super easy to think “I’ve got AC so I’m good” and not realize that you’re getting dehydrated. Keep water close to hand and take a drink regularly, even if you don’t feel thirsty.

I feel like the trick with Project 2025 is exactly the same as the WGA strike. little snippet screencaps going viral all over normie social media that make some shocking thing you had no idea about instantly digestible to anyone regardless of their information level or background

no but you’re so right because there are so many things like parks and roads and water that low-info voters like snd would hate to lose but don’t think of as “political” so they don’t trigger the same instant polarization as if you try to talk to them about healthcare or libraries

bad luck for biden to run in an electoral cycle where "are you old" is the most important issue instead of in one of the cycles where email security procedures or accuracy of vietnam war medal citations was the most important issue in the country.

What's weird is how much coverage there was of the surging right and a collapsing center and but no attendant deep coverage of the left? Not even to explain why news orgs seemed to be ignoring it other than stories accusing antisemitism b/v of opposition to Israel policy. So frustrating.

BREAKING NEWS: Voters turned out in numbers not seen in decades to stop the far-right National Rally from taking power in the French National Assembly. Polls predicted a first-place finish for National Rally, which instead came in third in initial results as polling stations closed.
