“Chernobyl” came out just over a year ago, and a popular center-right talking point was that it showed how communist misgovernance inevitably leads to preventable mass casualties (up to 16,000 deaths across Europe have been traced to that disaster). Anyway, just thinking out loud

I'm heartbroken by the ICJ case. At the end of the day, this isn't about "genocide," use of force, Palestinian sovereignty, Israel, or Zionism. This is about a lot of people in the world wanting Jews to be powerless and dead. We are not going backwards in Jewish history again.

I don't think Biden is dead, and jokes aside, I don't want to speculate on his condition. But one of two things is true: a. he's not okay and we're not being told, OR b. he's fine and yet MIA during an unprecedented crisis Either way, the Biden campaign is failing the public.

So to review: a protester accidentally poked a right-wing provocateur in the face with the spherical tip of a small flagpole, resulting in no injury, and multiple media outlets reported it as a Jew being stabbed in the eye. Meanwhile tens of thousands of Palestinians are dead.

20 hours after my deadline—now my story has been read by >150k people—WH has sent comment. Spox Adrienne Watson: "This story is not true. Quotes attributed to US officials are made up." Watson played no role in my interviews. My quotes are real. Biden team again echoing Trump.

In a sense Bari is correct here. If you are committed to self-determination in the form of a Jewish ethnostate ruling a multiethnic territory, the unavoidable result will be the murder of innocent children. Where Bari and I differ is that she's also saying it's worth it.

Does Ben Shapiro imagine he would survive a referendum on masculinity?

This is perfectly obvious. Anyone who pretends that it is not a referendum on masculinity for men to don floofy dresses is treating you as a full-on idiot.

Listen, we're not saying AOC is *never* allowed to criticize the party establishment... we're just saying that the literal day after an election was clinched is too close to the next election for such divisive rhetoric.

Meghan McCain's undisguised selfishness and willful ignorance of any human experience besides her own make her a fitting representative of conservatism

“Settler colonialism” is actually a very straightforward, plain English concept; if you don’t understand it it’s because you don’t want to understand it, because its implications are uncomfortable for you

You'd probably have to arrest Andrew Cuomo to get him out of the governor's mansion—and maybe that will happen!—but in the meantime, what is stopping CNN from firing his brother, who used his enormous media platform to run interference for the governor through all of this?

Bernie needs to stay in for as long as possible in case Biden is, you know, incapacitated. I’m not suggesting he is! I’m merely suggesting that as the near-presumptive nominee, I would feel reassured if Biden made daily public appearances, something he is noticeably not doing.

This, of course, is basically the worst incident of antisemitic violence anyone has been able to come up with in the context of these protests, and not for lack of trying!
