There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon.

You are being lied to

‘Proactively fall in line:’ Holocaust Memorial Museum quietly changed content after Trump returned to office Two former employees said they believed the museum was altering its content preemptively to avoid unwanted negative attention from the Trump administration.

Just remember the anomaly of film … you buy it in widths measured in millimetres but in lengths measured in feet.

16mm film in 400ft loads, 35mm film in 1000ft loads

It’s the greatest mix of standards ever … and it’s fantastic.

Today I reposted an obit for Valerie Perrine, who "won an Oscar for two Superman movies." I don't want to beat up whoever wrote that--unless it was a what, not a who--but @THR.com, I can introduce you to half a dozen people who would spot the first AND second mistake in that post in ten seconds.

The 92NY canceled my appearance in late October 2023 after I signed a ceasefire letter and reiterated my support for BDS.

But they're ok with having this gentleman, Ilya Shapiro, who seems to like genocide and is vocal about it.

A reminder that the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago because Trump absconded with classified docs, stored them as if they were old utility bills, and refused to return them even after having been subpoenaed for them, all in violation of the Espionage Act.

i have no inside knowledge but this has the vibe of the villain in a thriller executing one of the hostages just to discipline the rest

What happened to "America First"?

Ministry of health says it will start DNA testing the remains, as some remains found are not recognizable

Mamdani Chooses His Words Carefully After Alleged Terror Attack

One day the NYT's editors will read these stories again and be ashamed of themselves. Mamdani called the attack "heinous," "criminal," "reprehensible," "terrorism," and "the antithesis of who we are." The insinuation that he's conflicted about this is disgraceful. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/n...

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Netflix Backs Out of Bid for Warner Bros., Paving Way for an Ellison Takeover

The richest man owns X.

The second and third richest men control Google.

The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post.

And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros.

See the problem here?

This blatant xenophobic racism against an entire group of immigrants is unacceptable, and every member of Congress who cheered it is a horrifying stain on America.

Documentary about Jews killed by their Polish neighbors after the Holocaust could be banned in Poland - Jewish Telegraphic Agency A minister in the president's office called the film "historical anti-Polish manipulation."

Frederick Wiseman changed the way we see the world.

From the classrooms of High School to the corridors of Hospital, he turned his camera on the institutions that shape us — inviting us to look closer, sit longer & confront truth with empathy. 

May his memory be a blessing.

The U.S. should be boycotted for the World Cup. Boycott us, please. Fuck this.

If the government executing us in the streets isn’t your red line, then you’ve already decided to endorse it.

There’s no gray area left. No ambiguity.

There is a grave moral consequence to letting this go on. Shut down the government, have a general strike, grind the country to a halt, hit the streets. But not treating a demented administration lying about its thugs committing cold-blooded murder as an emergency? That is an emergency in itself.

What a fucking racist pig. Not like we needed more proof.

The genocide in Gaza has reshaped American Jewish politics, and American politics more broadly. Unconditional support for Israel is no longer a given among the public, or even among Jews. Meanwhile, the Trump administration and the MAGA movement have appointed themselves the defenders of Jews. In the name of fighting antisemitism they have taken down university presidents, forced universities into agreements that violate academic freedom and have defunded essential research — all while courting actual antisemites more and more openly. It’s enough to break your brain, and that is very much the point. Autocrats aim to scramble reality, plunging the citizenry into a permanent state of anxious confusion.

This is the most succinct description of a key feature of the current moment that I’ve read so far—by M. Gessen writing in the New York Times today in support of our need to support @jewishcurrents.bsky.social as a magazine navigating us through this confusion. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/03/o...

Stephen Miller is a white suprematist and a Nazi who happens to be a Jew with zero knowledge of his family’s own Jewish history. The fucking ghoul.

There is an all out (non-violent) civil war in the American Jewish community. It has been brewing for a long time, but it is starker than it has ever been.
