Masterclass in demagoguery from Ms. Rachel: "Wanting kids to live isn't antisemitic."
True sentence. Five words. Zero accountability.
A whole community smeared. Because in that framing, the only reason Jews would object... is that they don't want kids to live.
This is what modern Jew-hatred looks like dressed up as kindness.

@Timodc @jkirchick Graham Platner. At best you’ve been wishy washy and arguably even sympathetically supportive
Your dabbling with this stuff is why I I gave up my bulwark membership after having attended events and being a paying donator and then subscriber since it started

I’m old enough to remember when @timodc thought standing against bigotry was worth losing an election over
Tim Miller@Timodc
“If people really are arguing that the price of winning is becoming like a bigoted misogynist like Hasan Piker, then I’ll take not winning,” Jonathan Cowan told @Lauren_V_Egan. This seems like a bad message to me given the state of things. thebulwark.com/p/how-big-is-t…
English
A little surprised and very disappointed to see someone as astute as @lhfang fall for the myth of “Jewish supremacy.”
Lee Fang@lhfang
There's no political party for those who want a western system in which society is based on individual rights, not tribal identity. Fools on the left attempting to divide by skin color and gender, fools on the right who worship a violent ethnostate based on Jewish supremacy.

@SpaghettiKozak @floatinganarch @ethanmwolf Against the Clinton machine as a no name candidate? He did pretty well dipshit. Anyone can win the Republican primary it’s full of morons like you.

The majority of Americans, most of whom have not heard of Hasan Piker, would not support the insane, bigoted, and anti-American things that come out of his mouth. Dissing Piker is in fact a good political strategy because it tells the majority of American voters you're normal.
Tim Miller@Timodc
@NickAPappas @Lauren_V_Egan i'm not arguing for adopting his politics. Doing a kamikaze campaign to alienate people that listen to his show for no clear purposes except for winning a factional white paper fight among DC wonks seems ill-advised. Will be going long on this topic on the stream tonite.

@stormrobinson @SuperHumanEpoch I wonder what it would be like to be as stupid as people like you.

I haven’t been thrilled with Trump’s second term but this is a great reminder that it could have been so much worse.
Kamala Harris@KamalaHarris
A few thoughts ahead of the President’s speech tonight.

I'm an October 8th Jew.
While my peers turned on Israel and the Jewish people, I became an unlikely inheritor of our ancient tradition. thefp.com/p/i-am-an-octo…

@speechboy71 @dprzygoda Which would disprove that he’s anti Semitic.
English
@dprzygoda I hear some of Platner’s best friends are Jewish
English
Watching this guy snidely dismiss Jewish concerns over anti-Semitism is one of the grossest things I’ve seen in Democratic politics in a very long time
Jon Favreau@jonfavs
Wow I guess they don’t make Nazis like they used to huh
English
@IdoHalbany @SeanMcnall31331 No it doesn’t mean shit. Just that dipshits like you will do anything to justify genocide.
English
No. In criminal law, to infer intent, you check whether the actions are consistent with the "reasonable person". A person who stabs someone in the heart is more likely to have intended to murder than if he stabbed them in the leg.
The fact that Israel can kill much much more and so easily, but didn't - indicates a lack of intent.
English
The claim of a "genocide in Gaza" is simply retarded.
If that had truly been Israel's goal, then given Gaza's extreme density and Israel’s overwhelming military superiority, all 2M Palestinians would've been wiped out within a week.
English
This is complete nonsense
To criticise a culture whose holy book advocates the killing of all the people they disagree with...is not racist
It's culturalist
And this criticism seems wholly justifiable to me
Oh ! There's the door bell. Must be the police...
The New Statesman@NewStatesman
The anti-Muslim sentiment sweeping across the UK and Europe is "basically racism" says Rory Stewart

@speechboy71 @Timodc Be concerned by whatever you want pussy, doesn’t mean we have to address your delusions.
English
Who are you, particularly as a non-Jew, to say what I, as a Jew, should be concerned about? As a Jew, I think rising anti-Semitism, particularly on the left, is a pretty important issue for my children and me. I get that you don't see it the same way, but that doesn't make it a random obsession or something to be blithely dismissed.
Also, plenty of people are tweeting criticism of Donald Trump. I think that area is covered. A lot fewer people seem concerned about rising anti-Semitism, particularly on the left ... which is why people like me, and the folks at Jewish Insider, are talking about it.
English
Jewish fears of rising anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party are now a "random obsession."
Tim Miller@Timodc
2028 Dems should tell every interest group with a blog trying to corner them on their random obsession to eat shit. Equally true for centrist and progressive groups. Ossoff does not need to weigh in on Hasan discourse or trans prisoner surgeries unless he wants to.
English
@Joelmpetlin Of course the law doesn’t apply to Israeli terrorists in the West Bank that steal Palestinian land. It’s nothing but finding a legal way to murder Palestinians.
English
It comes as no surprise that many liberals oppose the death penalty. But it's surprising that Rep. Dan Goldman thinks that Israel's survival depends on incarcerating convicted terrorists, exchanging them for innocent civilian hostages, and then waiting for them to kill more Jews.
Rep. Dan Goldman@RepDanGoldman
Absolutely abhorrent. This law unambiguously creates a two tiered system of justice based entirely on which form of extremism is deemed acceptable. I pray Israeli courts do the right thing and strike it down. Israel’s future must remain democratic. Its survival depends on it. nytimes.com/2026/03/30/wor…

I am a Democrat. I would never support AOC for president. It would be suicidal for the Democratic Party to choose a far left extremist as our candidate.

Your religion supports throwing gay people off buildings, Zohran.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
I am outraged by the removal of the Rainbow Pride Flag from Stonewall National Monument. New York is the birthplace of the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement, and no act of erasure will ever change, or silence, that history. Our city has a duty not just to honor this legacy, but to live up to it. I will always fight for a New York City that invests in our LGBTQ+ community, defends their dignity, and protects every one of our neighbors—without exception.

@yesh222 @Tommygun19172 Dipshits like you can’t handle the truth.
English
@Tommygun19172 Not even Hamas-affiliated media is claiming that anymore. It's literally just a fantasy of Western leftists. And it's baffling why.
English
The war is over, yet the only acceptable terminology is still "ongoing genocide."
It makes perfect sense once you realize that in this camp, the definition of "genocide" is "Jews still living in Israel."
English
Antizionism is not antisemitism it just purges Jews from public life and says they deserve it

The Democratic Senator representing Pennsylvania is John Fetterman, who is adamantly pro-Israel and lukewarm on ICE
English
If only the Democrats ran on open borders, banning fossil fuels, and implementing Communism they would have won Pennsylvania and Arizona and put Ohio back in play
tyler oakley@tyleroakley
how are democrats already shaming progressives for not supporting centrists (before the primary has even happened), despite centrism losing every swing state in the last election

@blakeflayton Calling anyone you don’t like an anti Semite doesn’t work any more dipshit!

Brooklyn is the most Jewish place in America. And you, Mr. Mayor, have chosen an antisemite to run it. Because you yourself are an antisemite.
Jon Levine@LevineJonathan
NEW from me Álvaro López — Zohran Mamdani's Brooklyn Borough Director — once called pro-Hamas activists tearing down signs of missing Israeli hostages "heroes" in a now-deleted post on X

@GZNYer @trouble_man90 @Gingerroot775 And Republicans do? The right has zero policy solutions. All of the solutions are on the left.
English
@trouble_man90 @Gingerroot775 Democrats are unpopular because they don’t do enough to deliver on people’s material needs. That’s it. That’s all. There is no other reason.
Your statement is completely wrong and delusional.
English
Democrats are unpopular because a majority of Americans think leftists and Democrats are the same thing. The key to becoming popular again is destroying people like you.
hasanabi@hasanthehun
liberal twitter has erupted demanding party loyalty hitting lesser evilism & harm reduction lines 2 years out from the presidential election but they refuse to reckon with this historic unpopularity for the dems as trump is deeply unpopular. hold your electeds accountable please!
