Imagine for one second if the NYT marshaled its massive influence towards voter registration, towards supporting voting rights groups, towards encouraging people to vote and fighting people who try to stop people from voting. Imagine if the NYT actually championed participatory democracy.

Ah, yes, the famously difficult and convoluted prose (and apparently challenging vocabulary, using “father” instead of “dad”) of F. Scott Fitzgerald.

After four-plus years of hearing that I’m being unreasonable and there’s nothing Joe Biden could do with the power of the presidency that would satisfy me, am I understanding correctly that “the year he was born” and “the passage of time” are rational and grownup objections to his candidacy?

The text she suggests you enter at the end of the form is not enough characters, so FB rejects it! You can fulfill that requirement with "End the occupation. Cease fire now."

The key point of the story of Adas Torah synagogue in Los Angeles - a point conveniently ignored by almost everyone - is that the synagogue in question was HOLDING AN AUCTION OF PALESTINIAN LAND. It was an event to dole out the spoils of genocide, not a religious service.

again, it's sort of hard to overstate how bad it is for American Jews that AIPAC is bankrolling racist "Democrats," who are in almost every way Republicans, to attempt to defeat progressives of color

“Our analysis clarifies what the ADL’s prominent report captures and excludes, and shows how the conflation of anti-Zionism and antisemitism skews the data—ultimately serving as a reminder of the need for serious statistical analysis done by an organization not beholden to Israel advocacy.”

Fun fact: the Rabbis removed the Ten Commandments out of our core liturgy (Shema &tc) bc the Jewish Christians were SOOPER into it & the Rabbis wanted to be clear that the 10 weren’t superior to the other 603 mitzvot in Torah. So we’re clear that this 👇 is Christian supremacy. & a 1A violation.

Not for nothing and maybe this is pedantic but a mob didn’t hang Emmett Till. Two guys kidnapped and brutally murdered him in the middle of the night.

79 years after the Shoah, Israeli & American officials have united to defang the international community’s only venue for the prosecution of crimes against humanity like those perpetrated against the Jewish people, because the court dares to hold them accountable for the same. So depressingly effed.

as a jewish descendant of holocaust survivors who came to america as refugees & undocumented immigrants, letting israel murder as many palestinians as it wants is not what i desire as a voter. strong asylum protections & welcoming refugees, on the other hand, matter a lot to me. i hate biden so much
