Alhamdulillah: all living Israeli hostages are no longer in Hamas's captivity in Gaza - a critical step toward healing and progress for both Israelis and Palestinians. Sending loving kindness to their families and loved ones ❤️

This is so horrifying. Hamas is purely evil. It will be a profound shame if it retains control of even one square inch of Gaza.

upon seeing his son, the father says the Shema, one of the quintessential jewish prayers. Followed by the Shehechianu, which translates to, "Blessed are you, Lord our god, who has kept us alive, sustained us and brought us to this moment."

“We must work towards a future built upon justice, one without occupation and apartheid, and for a world where every person can live with safety and dignity” Something good faith leftists should try, who condemn Hamas at other times—is just type out “a Gaza free of Hamas’s rule”

In the “things Matthew Yglesias has gotten right” ledger, he pointed out back in 2021, from a pro-immigration perspective, that the Biden/Dem approach on immigration was both substantively incoherent and politically disastrous slowboring.com/p/immigration-…

Our deep dive into Marco Rubio's push for regime change in Venezuela. To convince isolationist MAGA leaders that strikes were needed, Rubio flipped the script, reframing Maduro as a nefarious drug kingpin fueling crime and overdoses on U.S. streets. latimes.com/world-nation/s…

Now that Israel's attacks on Gaza have ended but large scale violence is continuing-- perpetrated by Hamas--I will be watching to see how much concern is expressed by pro-Palestine groups. If there is none, it will confirm my suspicions about underlying antisemitic motivations.

Each of these horrific pictures - and there are so many of them - is proof that Hamas must be disarmed, marginalised, removed from every last vestige of power in Gaza. For the sake of the Palestinians and for peace to have a chance.

Anytime I get worried about a permanent MAGA majority I'm going to play this clip for myself. What a nerd.

Syria is back to our side.

Very good The New York Times editorial board piece today hitting a bunch of important points: - Trump won by moderating on Soc Security and Medicare - Moderates do outperform - In a nationalized media environment, the brand value of the whole party moderating is even bigger than one cand

It's even funnier because Herzog speaks perfect, fluent English

That Canadian commercial's clips of Reagan's comments are real. They were not selectively edited to misrepresent his views on trade. Nor does anyone need permission to broadcast them. So clearly there is something else at work to explain the bizarre post below.

The United States is no longer negotiating with Canada because its Republican President does not understand his predecessor's view of tariffs. Forget the clip that worries the President. Reagan was consistent, and here's a different speech where he made his case.

In hindsight, the anti-vax movement will be seen as one of the most destructive and nonsensical mass fads of a destructive and nonsensical era.

I actually think it’s underrated how much anti-immigration attitudes are driven by concerns about crime. Great post today on this by Lakshya Jain with new polling from The Argument!

A real glimpse into how the new Washington works

Trump is going to sell out America's lead in a critical strategic industry in order to wriggle out of his own soybean fuckups.
