If you're replying to a post about torched ambulances in London with a point about Israel, you've crossed the line into antisemitism. And you're doing absolutely nothing to help any cause.
Even if you consider yourself one of the good people. Maybe especially so. You've just caught racism.

For the Hero of the Bondi Beach Attack, a Whirlwind Visit to America
After the Hanukkah massacre in Australia, the rabbi and the Muslim hero who saved lives made a visit to New York that was part religious pilgrimage, part media outreach.

An attack on Greenland would trigger Article 5 of the NATO treaty requiring them to respond to US aggression.
Trump in a single gaggle on Air Force One just threatened:
-- a second strike against Venezuela
-- Cuba
-- Mexico
-- Colombia
-- Iran
-- Greenland (which in turn would be an attack on the EU and Denmark)

It's wild that the PM of a NATO member feels compelled to put out a statement like this vis-à-vis the US government.

This from Iowa journalist @laurarbelin.bsky.social is so good. Belin - an actual journalist with years experience including covering Russia(!), spells out what it's really like trying to get the govt to comment for stories & why Bari Weiss screwed up.

On "fair" reporting and what happened at "60 Minutes"
Laura Belin: I was alarmed (though not surprised) when CBS News boss Bari Weiss intervened to stop “60 Minutes” from airing a segment.

Have taken the time to read this *extraordinary* 161p ruling by Federal Judge William Young. Absolute must-read to understand the full extent of Trump regime's depravity and lawlessness, the steep extent of 🇺🇸 descent into authoritarianism & the enabling role of integrity-free Roberts Court
Judge William Young ruled on Tuesday that Marco Rubio and Kristi Noem’s student deportation effort violates the First Amendment, but he also had important messages for Donald Trump, John Roberts — and all Americans.
At Law Dork, I explain.

Judge William Young's ruling against Rubio and Noem is a lesson for all in the Trump era
Young lays bare the unconstitutionality of the Trump administration's student deportation efforts — and issues a challenge to America. Also: More court pushback.

This is crazy
Wait: so the President of the United States shared a video of a fake news report, rooted in a conspiracy theory, that features an AI-generated version of himself promoting a policy that…doesn’t exist?
Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Interesting tax work around for nursery fees that will be hard to plug.
As one of the UK’s leading sleep-deprived obsessives on nursery fees… I’m not sure people without small kids know about a blatantly scammy tax trick that’s spreading fast.
People are paying nursery fees out of pre-tax income on the condition parents pretend to “help manage” the nursery.

Another example of the media not reflecting public sentiment
You wouldn't know it from today's newspaper front pages screaming "betrayal", but new YouGov polling finds that 66% of British people now want the Government to deliver a closer relationship with the EU, compared to just 14% who don't
