Netanyahu is a genocidal war criminal who belongs in the Hague, but Jews were not considered ethnic Poles based on the Polish government, and Polish Jewish last names were forced on families against their will. This kind of conspiratorial rhetoric about Jews faking their identity is gross.

Somebody said "They voted for racism and got poverty" The thing is... social scientists and economists have been saying for the last 50 years Racism is austerity

My cab drive to Ithaca was a Bush-Obama-Romney-Trump-Biden-Trump voter. He said that instead of persecuting innocent fraternity brothers, universities should focus on limiting the number of Indian-Americans they admit.

We need to rephrase the whole discussion in terms of hazardous products, instead of "minds". And then we need to make sure that there's liability. A model hacks someone? Put a C-suite guy in jail. A model produces sexual harassment material? Put a C-suite guy in jail. Watch how fast things get safe

New just now in The Atlantic: David Robinson resigned this week. He was among the longest-tenured employees at OpenAI—and oversaw safety reports on 12 frontier launches. He is very worried: “The time for trial and error is over.” You can read his essay here: www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Modern economic development is about maximizing complexity. To make things more complex, you need abstraction. Abstraction requires organization and communication.

Just get a normal job, live a normal life, vote for and donate to liberal candidates, and understand that you are basically normal. Support other marginalized people in your community, and also support the marginalized everywhere by stabilizing, not destroying, the systems that society is made of.

Student loan debt delinquencies are rising. The strain is being felt in swing states like Georgia, which has one of the highest default rates in the US. If you live there and have student debt, our journalists want to hear your story ⬇️

Borrowing something my rabbi back in NY said about the so-called “ground zero mosque” that stuck with me: Why did al Qaeda pick the WTC? Because the Twin Towers and people in them were American. Saying US Muslims can’t memorialize it is saying Muslims can’t be Americana. That gets it exactly wrong.

the argument against Mamdani attending the 9/11 anniversary, as far as I can tell, is literally just that he’s Muslim, and reposting it is just reporting rank racism

I watched the movie and honestly zoned tf out because I missed... all of that. The fuck you mean Hitler has a post-credits scene where he and Lenin were working together? And it's all linked to Scottish Independence?? What the fuck???

This is deeply disingenuous and, frankly, a dereliction of journalistic integrity. A quick glance at Yum! Brand’s annual filings reveal that this is common language included every single year as an investment risk factor. The most recent filing is no different because the risk is always present.

Policies and platforms are helpful as signals for the kinds of values that candidate might hold. Someone supporting abortion rights probably has different feelings about women’s role in society than someone who opposes them. Platforms aren’t a to-do list. They’re a vision and a thesis for society.

This is one of the greatest regulatory failures of our time. Congress must address it.

Whether it's a plea for help from a supposed loved one or a text from an unknown number, Rhode Islanders are getting scammed, losing $200 million over the last few years. ​That’s why I co-founded the Stop Scams Caucus to address this growing problem and keep Americans safe.

Once again observing that no one ever ran "President Biden's approval ratings have tumbled. But here in West Baltimore, these black lesbians say he delivered on key promises.

President Trump’s approval numbers have tumbled, hurt by worries about the economy and the Iran war. But in west-central Ohio, voters still firmly in his camp say he has delivered on key promises. 🔗 on.wsj.com/4fy6549

I want to test something out: RT my post if you are an adult in the US who is not guilty of abusing a partner. Just wanna see something.

Quadlok@quadlok.bsky.social

The point is most adults in the US have been guilty of the level of assault Platner is. Either its acceptable when its a child or most parents are irredeemably abusive according to the standard people are holding him to.

“There may be.” FFS. Forget the flags. I have a literal masters degree in public health, I’m an actual union leader (in my second term as chapter president,) I’m a college professor, and a reproductive health advocate. And people are quibbling over if he abused his exes enough to be disqualifying.

Demanding that Black people support you after your fuckery caused us to lose rights that we fought and died for centuries to get is straight up diabolical. We are losing voting rights. We are losing the ability to teach true history. The hoods are off and you are talking about AIPAC? Fuck you!

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

BREAKING: In an unsigned, per curiam opinion on the shadow docket, the SCOTUS conservatives allow Alabama to use a congressional map held repeatedly by a lower court to have been enacted with discriminatory intent.

That's not to say that the numbers are beyond critique or foolproof - they certainly are not - but if you think of some trivial-seeming oversight that undercuts the numbers entirely, no you didn't.

Funny how after every SCOTUS ruling striking down some protection from government abuse, the officials those protections restrained — cops, prosecutors, Republican state electeds — immediately start acting in the precise manner SCOTUS assured us they no longer do.

The redistricting wars feel like the whole of modern American politics: Trump picks a stupid fight, wages it idiotically, Democrats fight back and win, then some other American institution suddenly chimes in to hand the win to Trump anyway for being a very special boy and everyone gets mad at Dems

You do not have to personally like or always agree with someone to think "gee, maybe I shouldn't contribute my energies to a life-ruination campaign against them." This feels very basic and yet eludes countless people on here.
