"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.
Terrific band, great album!

I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
Also Marco Rubio: Our shared Christian faith must dictate our most consequential decisions about who gets to enter and join our society
Excellent advice right here.
American humanists are committed not to governments or nation-states, but to the safety and dignity of every human being. The Iranian people deserve peace, safety, and the right to self-determination - now, and always.
(To be clear - we don’t support temporary wars, either.)
Send ICE agents to Iran. They already have the outfits.
Donald Trump in 2012:
Weird they dragged in Hillary Clinton when there's another First Lady right there in the White House who actually knew Jeffrey Epstein.
the 'restrictions' are worth stating explicitly. Anthropic doesn't want its AI to be used to make decisions about whether to kill someone without some human oversight. Hegseth says he won't accept that restriction.
Of all Presidementia's prior State-of-the-Unions I've not watched in the past, tonight's State-of-the-Union is the State-of-the-Union I'm not watching the most. 🍊🚫
I refuse to get used to our government murdering people on the high seas. If they can do it to these people, they can do it to you.
So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE.
And this is what they called it.

The American people do not want war.
Trump is threatening an illegal strike on Iran. This will do nothing but bring needless death and destruction.
We cannot let warmongers override Congress's power. No war with Iran.
Since few know his name, perhaps refer to him as The Andrew formerly known as Prince?
A heads-up from @billmckibben.bsky.social: "One way of summing up this moment is to say that the endangerment finding & the politics of climate are puny in the face of physics. We’re going to see that physics in action in the next 24 months, and it will drive many changes... some of them political"
None of this is normal
Quite the chart

The US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government every year from 1994 to 2023.
The Cato study provides the first-ever 30-year analysis of the fiscal effects of immigration on government budgets.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is. I just hate the stupidity.
Palantir reported $1.5 billion in losses from 2020-2024.
That allowed them to pay $0 in federal income taxes.
So how did they spend $64 million on stock buybacks and pay their CEO $3.3 billion over roughly the same period?
This tax code is a complete joke.
So, I have always wondered how Trump assures loyalty in his cabinet and other hires. Based on some of their names popping up in the just released files, could it be that many are worried he'll spill the beans about their Epstein adventures if they turn against him?
“How many times, then, will Western journalists allow themselves to be fooled by Israeli propaganda – by military denials that later collapse under the weight of evidence?”
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.
