Everyone including me would have named and shamed anyone that said “I don’t want to work for a Black” or “I don’t want to work for a Gay” or “I don’t want to work for a Muslim” or “I don’t want to work for a Woman” “I don’t want to work for a Hindu” No defense.

Lia was so excited by the @AntaresNuclear news last week she decided to hit the books again and study up. Cc @jordanbramble @lpolovets

Antares Mark-0 has achieved initial criticality! ⚛️

One of the things I left behind on October 7th was my willingness to excuse things because it was inconvenient for my ideology. I will not excuse atrocities just because I am pro-Israel. Rape is wrong. Full stop. That said, I’ve read this piece three times very carefully. All of the sources are anti-Israel and it is running all these claims without substantiation from a second party. It’s notable to me that the New York Times withdrew a piece about the Hamas rapes of October 7th. That piece had much, much stronger sourcing than this piece. The double standard matters. It really seems like for the New York Times. Israel is guilty until proven innocent, and Hamas is innocent until proven guilty. It matters for me as a reader looking at this piece, wondering if I can believe the things in it. I need to see this reported out with substantiation from better sourcing to believe it. That said, if the things in it are true, Israel must address them. I will not excuse rape.

We completely agree. rokhannarecord.com/

The problem is the double standard. There are all kinds of things I find disturbing about Israeli domestic politics. Violence in the West Bank towards Palestinians would be towards the top. Netanyahu’s attack on the rule of law would be number two. But it’s hard to see the point of giving voice to it when people can’t even acknowledge that Arabs literally create training videos about how to go on busses and execute all the Jews. Which they go and do. Or how they snipered a pregnant woman on her way to the hospital to give birth. It’s a dynamic that gives people the misleading impression that Jews are the aggressors. They are not. Their actions are overwhelmingly defensive. I can’t vote in Israeli elections, but if I did, I sure wouldn’t vote for Likud. And maybe I would be more critical of Israeli domestic politics. But I’m not. I’m an American that values our national security alliance. And is the best use of my time feeding into a narrative designed to mislead the public? I don’t think it is.

Waymo is so good at saving lives that if it were a new drug in trial, it would hit the bar for being unblinded and made immediately available to the control group for ethical reasons. @MorePerfectUS would prefer to keep killing pedestrians.

Centrist Democrats in the 90s were the greatest form of government we have experienced. -Budget surpluses -Staunchly capitalist -Strong border -Merit-based legal immigration -Strong military -Sensible on social issues It’s a shame how progressives and socialists dragged the party to the left to the ruinous place they are now. And their extremism pushes the right to be more extreme too.

Can’t love this enough

Have you watched The Manosphere with Louis Theroux on Netflix? As the Dad of a 17 year old son, I think @jimmycarr is spot on. What do you think?

Standing ovation. Bravo @Cornell @cornell_tech President Michael Kotlikoff for principled moral leadership for "fully and forecfully rejecting this" and not pandering to protestors. An undergrad student Yasmeen Masoud '28 (working in postcolonial and minority literary studies) politically targeted Israel in a student assembly movement demanding Cornell Tech (named for Technion) sever ties because...Israel. "I am deeply troubled by the selective manner in which this resolution singles out the Technion, alone of Cornell’s many international partners, for censure. Cornell currently maintains 159 active agreements with institutions in 59 nations and regions; all of these institutions have some government affiliation, and many conduct research with military and security applications. Cornell itself has military research contracts, conducts research with potential military applications, and has relationships with companies whose products are used in military contexts. Cornell also has relationships with institutions in countries whose governments have been accused of human rights violations—as our own has been. None of these publicly available facts are mentioned in the resolution; only our partnership with an Israeli institution is targeted for erasure. The political bias evident in this selective approach is deeply disturbing, and the resolution is incompatible with both the Student Assembly’s purpose and Cornell University’s core values. I reject it fully and forcefully."

🚨To every Black person tempted by the antisemitic wave sweeping right now:🚨 Back when white mobs lynched us in the streets... When we had no money, no power, and literally no movement... Who stood with us? Who risked everything? The Jews. They weren't just allies—they were family in the fight. - Jewish leaders co-founded the NAACP in 1909 and funded/led it for generations when no one else would. - When Dr. King and our people were arrested, beaten, jailed—Jewish lawyers defended us for free, and Jewish money paid bail bonds and court fees while others turned away. - In Freedom Summer '64, half the white volunteers risking death to register Black voters? Jewish. - Rabbi Heschel marched arm-in-arm with MLK in Selma—our struggles linked forever. Without their blood, treasure, solidarity, and courage—there is no Civil Rights Movement as we know it. No Voting Rights Act. No dream realized. That's why I stand with the Jews. They were our only true friends when this country hated us—when doors slammed shut and ropes hung high. They showed up, bled, and built with us. So to my people joining this demonic, divisive hate today: Pause. Remember. Honor the alliance that freed us. Our histories are bound. Our freedoms were won together. Betray that, and you betray the very martyrs who died for our rights. Black-Jewish unity forged the dream. Don't let hate destroy it. I stand with my Jewish brothers and sisters—always. ✊🏾🤝✡️🇮🇱 Repost if truth > trends. If gratitude > division. If history matters. #BlackJewishAlliance #RememberOurAllies #StandTogether #CivilRightsTruth #NoToAntisemitism

Let’s be real: Pennsylvanians who want to buy recreational marijuana are just driving across the border to one of the 5 neighboring states who have already legalized it. Legalizing adult-use marijuana could generate $1.3 BILLION in new revenue over the first five years. This is big business — and right now, we're losing that revenue to our neighbors.

🔥🚨VIRAL NOW: Strippers were spotted standing in attention and pledging for the National Anthem in Club E11EVEN with Team USA in Miami Florida. This is one of the most American videos of the decade.
