Naama Lazimi is being hailed as the Israeli left's rising star. But when she isn’t busy making excuses for the genocidal turn in Israeli society and politics, she’s advocating for a return to good old-fashioned apartheid.

Trump's Board of Peace are yet to call Israel once for burning Palestinians alive in Gaza every single for 324 days of Trump's ceasefire, but it took the Board hours to attack me for a tweet!
Every crook in that Board has the blood of 1260 Gazans on their hands!

Now's as good of a time as any to reiterate that I have never seen anyone in a mainstream newspaper or magazine write about how Mamdani, El Sayed and Hamawy are representing positive masculinity.
Don't get me wrong, I lift every morning. But being a man is not really about how you show up in the gym.
It's how you show up for your family. It's about how you show up for your community.

Israel and its lobby are 1) a strategic liability, as they played a key role in causing 9/11, the 2003 Iraq War, and the 2026 Iran War; 2) a moral liability, as Israel has been executing a genocide, and 3) the greatest threat to free speech in the US.

This passage from @davidlat.bsky.social perfectly captures the false dichotomy you see so often from the Supreme Court's defenders:
The Court is held out as "independent" because it doesn't *always* rule for Trump. That whitewashes (1) how often it *does*; & (2) its bad behavior in non-Trump cases.
