Jewish, American, and proud.
This was prompted by people calling the Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad “Nazi propaganda” and I cannot emphasize this enough: if, for Twitter clout, you pretend cool, attractive women are aping Nazi aesthetics, you are only going to create more young men who self-ID as Nazis.
Like most Americans, for whom Randy Fine is dripping with contempt, I have no college degree. I wear it not as a mark of shame but as a badge of honor. I grew up in poverty and overcame depression and substance abuse to rise to the US Congress. You call that failure. Others…
I don’t care that Mamdani is rich. I care that he wants to strip police protection from millions of New Yorkers while enjoying all the privileges of private security guards.

One thing I've learned seeing all the clips from that Jubilee is that right-wingers don't want to actually debate. They want to BE the bad guys. They think it's powerful to be a bad guy. It's all fantasy to them, and that's why there is no chance of ever reaching them.
I used to think that very few people were really evil; they were either misguided or sociopathic, which is a psychological defect. October 7th changed that. There are droves of people who think causing harm is a good in and of itself as a matter of principle. That is true evil.
This. I note that the posts by October 7th celebrators are most often timestamped in the early morning. When they woke up to those videos and images, these evil people did not waste a second in expressing their sadistic glee at Jews being butchered. By contrast, those of us…

And my actual first reaction wasn't to tweet actually but to call my dozens of friends in Israel and Palestine and check on them...
The far left has found my post and is accusing me of racism. Let's be very clear. Your saint, Mahmoud Khalil, refuses to condemn Hamas. He harassed Jewish people. He hands out propaganda from Telegram groups that distribute Hamas's materials in the US, where they are banned.
It's baffling that the left has made that privileged jihadi the face of the Trump administration's wanton cruelty on immigration and not an innocent gay man that spoke out against Maduro and faced persecution and abuse in CECOT and Venezuela.
I'm honestly horrified by some of my own followers who seem to believe that all Palestinians are Hamas or support Hamas. Listen: I'm Palestinian. I'm totally opposed to Hamas, and I retweet many other Palestinians who oppose Hamas. But it went over your heads.
It’s not baffling. It’s telling. Leftists will always prefer the rich over the working class and poor. They’re just as viciously tribal as MAGA.

BREAKING: An Israeli tourist’s ear was ripped off by an attacker in Greece shouting, “Free Palestine, fuck Israel, I am Hamas.” Ben Shushan and his wife were initially harassed on the beach but later violently attacked. When Ben intervened to protect his wife, the assailant…
In 1184 a bunch of German nobles got together in a building in Erfurt to mediate a land dispute...and ended up falling through rotting floorboards into the cesspit below. Sixty of them drowned in human waste. I maintain that this is how Game of Thrones should have ended.

I interviewed a gen z girlie 6 months ago and in the interview she told me that she does not like a challenge, has no interest in career progression, prefers to just do repetitive tasks and will never complain about being bored. I hired her.

It’s a beautiful movie, and only one of three in the past decade where the visuals were such that I was almost moved to tears. The music is catchy, the chemistry between the leads is great, and its story is simple. There’s one choice that a character makes that’s really dumb.
So who has seen Fantastic Four already? Ratings? Worth seeing on opening weekend?
With the exception of France and Germany, I feel like Europe is really regressing to the historical norm for institutional antisemitism, if not worse.
Spain’s Minister of Transportation, Oscar Puente, is defending Vueling Airlines and referring to the 50 Jewish teenagers kicked off the flight as “Israeli brats.” Guess what, Oscar? They’re not Israeli. They’re French. But when you’re blinded by hate, facts don’t matter.…
There will be those who dismiss food airdrops throughout Gaza as insufficient, inadequate, or a PR stunt; no one said they are a permanent solution – of course, there needs to be more trucks going in, but the UN is having a hard time for a variety of reasons, including Israeli…
The Ayatollahs of Iran strongly suspect that Israel’s strategic aim was to end the Gaza conflict so it could shift its full focus to delivering a crushing blow to Iran itself. To delay that, Iran did everything in its power to prevent any agreement - any ceasefire - between…
They scream Nazi at everyone, but it turns out they were the Nazis the whole time
America's new Hitler Youth. Well done everybody.
When you see evil like this, it changes you forever.
The day after October 7, the largest and most active student organization in my law school put out a statement in explicit support of Hamas. They went on to spearhead the local student protest movement. I will never, ever let them whitewash that.
