Come with me as I learn about each person at the official Israeli delegation at today's Israel Day Parade in New York City. These are the people some of my fellow Jewish and other New Yorkers demanded Mayor Mamdani stand with today. 🧵

So plants?

Two sharp folks.

Huh? What other 'democracy', since pre-1994 South Africa, still expressly bars its own native majority from voting majority, by exile or any other means?

'I lay out my case to @PeterBeinart that forcing white South Africans in 1985 to dissolve their own state would be undemocratic, even if we see that as a "just outcome". But my argument is that it wouldn't be just because it wouldn't be democratic.' Good grief.

As I said in a QT (where I also ratio'd you, incidentally), your essay is about people quitting their jobs because they can't handle hearing criticism of Israel and Zionism at work. That's not being purged from public life. There is zero evidence that any alleged reduced acceptance and representation has anything whatsoever to do with Jewish identity, but rather advocacy of genocide, occupation, and ethnic cleansing. Anyone who advocates for genocide, occupation, and ethnic cleansing is likely to face pushback by their colleagues and others, as they should. In short, your entire argument is predicated upon conflating antisemitism with anti-Zionist sentiment, and also conflating Zionists' discomfort with hearing Israel criticized with being excluded from public life. The reasoning is entirely circular, and you're upset because people can't be fooled anymore.

"Lastly, & separately, I want to congratulate you on the work you have done, and continue to do, for the working families in NY. I have watched with admiration how you centered municipal workers as the heroes in every snowstorm. How you imagined childcare as a right for every working family, & as a social responsibility for everyone. These are things worthy of respect & admiration. But in this instance you have erred. You succumbed to forces that seek to pick away at you -- at your talented, beautiful wife, and at your work --clawing harder with each apology or concession you make. If you're not careful, they will siphon your soul before you even realize it."

Heard Hasan Piker is ready to opt out of team Blue Genocide! Tell my brother in Islam, leftism (and fellow gym bro) that he doesn’t have to wait to vote against Newsom (Bill Clinton 2.0) in ‘28 It’s Butch Ware 4 CA, June 2, ‘26 Make some noise y’all. Get me on that show.

Watson's passing seems to have brought misogynists out of the woodwork to criticize Rosalind Franklin's math ability. Not only did she understand Fourier analysis & its connection to X-ray crystallography, she wrote a single-author paper about it in 1949: journals.iucr.org/paper?a002…

I wrote a review of James Watson's obituary by @CSHL: liorpachter.wordpress.com/20…

The day of James #Watson's death seems about as good a moment as any to remember that November day in 1910 when Rosalind Franklin's uncle Hugh dog-whipped Winston Churchill for denying women's right to vote.

I’ll talk to anyone, and I debated Charlie. The difference is that unlike Charlie, I don’t have millionaires funding a media company that can fly folks in from across the country and pay for a studio, make up artist, staff, publicist, and booker. But if anyone wants to have a chat, I’ll send you a zoom link!
