NYT oped author on Farrakhan says Jews have ‘become white,’ have no standing on ‘oppression.’

It’s truly amazing what’s appropriate to say about Jews openly in the nation’s major newspapers from city where the cops are sent around looking for Jews hiding in places of worship.
There are just different rules for taking about Jews publicly. The above example of rank antisemitism is pretty common, too. And progressive discourse on the hard left—not among normal liberals but among activists, academics and increasingly journalists—is constructed on this.
Cuomo is hailed as a hero, de Blasio is still in office but Bari Weiss had to be chased out of the NYT because she told the truth and told it well.
Anyway Game 7 is on so that’s all the time I got for the mainstream Farrakhanites tonight.

A lot of ppl think 'no lockdown' means the Swedish ppl pursued herd immunity by going on as before. But when you talk to Swedish officials they are usually perplexed by this, b/c a mandate isn't the only way behavior changes--usually the other way around w/r/t Covid.
They certainly weren't *the same* as every other European nation, but the 'herd immunity' narrative that paints the Swedes as a country of Alex Jones bots and don't tread on me flags misses that some crucial *behavior* changed without it being mandated.
This is one of the problems with the way the US talks about Covid: no middle ground. The rest of the world doesn't operate this way, because it's extraordinarily dumb and deadly. Americans also fetishize gov't to a weird degree: other countries allow for common sense.

unverified dossier bad now
Just want to remind everyone that it's simpler to have principles and not have to memorize your current position or keep a rolodex of excuses. I highly recommend having core beliefs.
Hillary had to die so that skeptical journalism may live again. I hope she haunts you all.

Late capitalism is a wonderland for grifters, like the whole system was designed for and by them.

“What for?”

He'll get a half-hour on Reliable Sources to attack the Post over this
This attack on the only local media outlet truly holding his feet to the fire on the people he sentenced to death is textbook authoritarian behavior, pay attention to who responds accordingly.
This guy is being floated--not unreasonably! Wouldn't be his first Cabinet position!--as Biden's attorney general when the thing he is most famous for in the world is using the law for political retribution against his critics. Where is Anne Applebaum's column on it?

Have to say, coming from the Jewish world, where we've had women leaders forever while celebrating life and family, I just don't understand these senators' overt fear of a woman who excels both at motherhood and intellectual leadership. This whole resentment complex is so weak.
The wider secular culture feeding it as well--I mean, these senators are a reflection of their base, and much of the insane coverage of this as well. If more of these ppl understood religious culture and history they would resent successful women less.
And religion aside, kinda feels like resentment fuels so much of our political and culture discourse in America. What a bad scene.

The author of a book promoted by NPR just happens to be a massive antisemite, the guy the presidential nominee met with about racial justice just happens to be a massive antisemite, etc etc etc. Antisemitism is a freebee in America, so no harm done, right?
"These two," she says, pointing to two other Jewish underground soldiers in the film adaptation of Elie Wiesel's 'Dawn,' "they don't love us." Then she drops the hammer:
