To my erstwhile friends and allies on the academic, political, and cultural left: tomorrow is about one thing only — commemorating the victims of a violent, genocidal attack on Jews. If you feel the need to appropriate our grief for the Bibas family and all the other victims: *you’re* the problem.

I wrote this 3 years ago, and since then, the left has met my lowest expectations. Today’s remarks by Zohran Mamdani are clarifying.
My thoughts today are with the Bibas family. Not the people who murdered them.

On the anniversary of October 7, Mamdani devoted nearly 3x as many words to condemning Israel as to mourning the Jewish victims of Gaza’s attempted genocide of Israeli Jews.
The DSA can’t let Jewish grief stand on its own even for a moment. It is a racist, antisemitic political organization.

All the people who denounced Hakeem Jeffries for meeting with Jared Kushner are going to denounce this too, right? (Kidding. Of course they won’t.)
President Trump is set to meet with Mayor Zohran Mamdani at Gracie Mansion on Monday, their first meeting in New York City after two in Washington that were surprisingly amicable given the sharp jabs they have traded publicly. Follow live.

Apparently the rule is: Dems like El-Sayed, AOC, Omar, Rabb, Mamdani, and Hamawy, and the Pod Bros, think Piker is important enough to campaign and work with. But when they’re asked to defend his racism and antisemitism he’s just a small time streamer and a distraction.

Here’s an intellectually consistent proposition:
If you associate w/Tucker Carlson, you’re an antisemite. I’m not voting for you or donating to your campaign.
If you associate w/Hasan Piker, you’re an antisemite. I’m not voting for you or donating to your campaign (or listening to your podcast.)

I think Musk AND Piker are antisemites. But what I think even more is that Jewish people are entitled to decide how we define antisemitism. Most of us are Dems, so we’re entitled to be more alarmed when it manifests on the left. We don’t need to clear our lived experience by the Pod Bros.
If you present yourself as a neutral ref or good-faith arbiter on the matter of antisemitism in politics, but also ignore Musk, and make no one account for their association with him, then what you are is a fraud and people shouldn't take you seriously. www.offmessage.net/p/elon-musk-...

I started my PhD program with an eight week old at home, sole income being my doctoral stipend, in a history program, in Knoxville, TN. And every month we got a new book to read to my son, free, mailed to us, so my kid, my kids, grew up in rooms full of books even when I had no money.
