It’s that simple: they’re stupid, and they’re mean.

This flag on the ground at the White House as Trump walks by is like that photo showing our troops roll out the red carpet for Putin. Never thought I’d see such a sight in my lifetime, yet symbolic of the terrible leadership in this presidency and in our cowardly Congress.

Back in the 12th century, French sculptor Gislebertus carved this angel as (s)he appears to the three Magi as they dream, waking one with the delicate touch of a finger, and pointing her other forefinger toward the Bethlehem star (Cathedral of St Lazare, Autun)

Hey @GretaThunberg , why don’t you sail to my country Yemen where more than 10 million children are starving? Is it because there won’t be any cameras waiting for you there?

US COVID markers continue upward trend Emergency department visits are rising for all age groups and are highest in young children. cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/us-co…

At every point, @SecKennedy has made disastrous and destructive personal health choices. He was a drug dealer in college. He spent a large portion of his adult life shooting heroin. He’s shot so much steroids into his body, his voice is destroyed. His drug use has helped alienate him from his own family. His 10 siblings have called him a national threat. Now he’s trying to destroy America’s health. This is a sad and broken man with deep self-destructive pathology.

@michael_hoerger She helped get Trump elected, she was constantly telling her followers to not vote. The Trump administration is actively taking support away from disabled people.

@Baba_Lilith Huh?

Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters, who wants to force Christianity taught in public schools and ban books for “sexual material,” was just reportedly caught displaying videos of multiple naked women on his television at a board meeting.

Wow, the large cities in Texas are completely overwhelmed with COVlD.

@JaneotN I live in a northern U.S. area where a lot of Canadians own vacation homes, and spend money here. This should be interesting. :/

This is genocide. This is a concentration camp. We can no longer remain silent in the face of the trampling and distortion of Holocaust memory.

@Israellycool @davidmdraiman @johncusack He’s gotten completely obsessed, the hate has taken him over. Like Rowling, it’s his brand now.

Actor @johncusack has been caught posting yet another antisemitic meme, 6 years after posting the Neo Nazi Voltaire one. It has since been deleted, but no apology or blaming it on the bots this time

🧵🧵Thread: How Newspapers Helped Kill 6 Million Jews🧵🧵 The Holocaust didn’t begin with Auschwitz, cattle cars, ghettos, or death marches. It began years earlier, with headlines, street posters, and newspapers displayed in glass cases for children to read on their way to school. Before Jews were hunted or deported, they were redefined and dehumanized. Day by day, word by word, the German society was trained: 🔹 To fear their neighbors 🔹 To laugh at their suffering 🔹 To feel nothing when they vanished This wasn’t hidden rhetoric. It was state-sponsored journalism. And it happened in broad daylight on every street corner. The goal wasn’t just to hate the Jew. It was to unsee the Jew as human. This thread is about how Nazi newspapers like Der Stürmer and Völkischer Beobachter made genocide not just possible but actually popular. And why their methods still matter today.

Remember when we learned that our wealthiest and most powerful people were connected to a guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring? And then that guy died mysteriously in a jail? And now we just don't talk about it.

Let me clear up some things for the stupid people in red hats. 1. It's very hard to get federally funded medicaid if you aren't working. 2. Only 8.4% of Medicaid recipients are healthy, non-working adults, accounting for less than 6 million recipients. 3. About 80% of those are middle-aged women, with most of those having left the workforce to take care of parents, etc. 4. Healthy 20-something men who spend all their time playing video games in the basement are going to be too lazy to fill out the paperwork to get medicaid. 5. Healthy 20 something men who spend all their time playing video games in the basement aren't going to the hospital for care. 6. Medicaid is not a monthly payment. It pays for your medical bills when you have them. When you don't have bills, it doesn't pay for anything because there is nothing to pay for. Conclusion: Kicking healthy 20-something men off Medicaid isn't going to offset the Medicaid cuts. The Republicans are lying again.

According to a @UNAIDS analysis, ending PEPFAR-supported programs for people living with HIV could result in an additional 4.2 million deaths by 2029: b-gat.es/4lbD4Lw

The facts are simple and devastating: Aid cuts have already cost lives, and the number of deaths will continue to rise. Here’s the evidence.

A study in the Lancet recently looked at the cumulative impact of reductions in American aid. It found that, by 2040, 8 million more children will die before their fifth birthday: b-gat.es/44wCCQO

@Daniel_Sugarman @blakeflayton I wish you were cross posting on bluesky, it’s getting worse there.

I thought it might be helpful for many Jews in New York to understand what happened in the UK a decade ago, in order to be able to prepare somewhat for the coming months. So I wrote about that here. jewishnews.co.uk/comment-i-expe…
