Making pro-bike, pro-bus, anti-car[ceral] communal art physically out of the poison cars create, in public space we temporarily created is possibly one of the best things I've ever done #CriticalMass #ACAB #BikesBaby #RideTheBus #TransitMonth @SafeStreetRebel

At the start of COVID, the government implemented many social programs that helped people who were struggling. These programs were immensely popular. Yet instead of fighting hard to extend and expand them, Democrats prematurely declared the pandemic was over and let them expire.
Several key U.S. anti-poverty measures expired or were eliminated after 2021. A snapshot of enhanced coverage from 2020 to 2023. This range chart plots the start of new health and anti-poverty initiatives in green and their end in red. Eviction ban, September 4, 2020 through July 31, 2021; extended unemployment coverage, May 5, 2020 through September 4, 2021; additional unemployment benefits, December 27, 2020 to September 30, 2021; child tax credit expansion, January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021; earned income tax credit expansion, January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021; free school meals, March 16, 2020 to June 30, 2022; emergency food aid, March 18, 2020 to February 28, 2023; Medicaid expansion, March 18, 2020 to March 31, 2023; student loan pause, March 13, 2020 to September 30, 2023; child care provider grants, April 15, 2021 to September 30, 2023; increase to the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children, June 1, 2021 to September 30, 2023.

6/ TLDR - The headline of this piece attributes violence in Amsterdam to antisemitism yet provides in the text evidence primarily of anti-Arab racism. Seems like incredinly shoddy and biased reporting.

4/ The piece actually mentions video footage of Maccabi fans chanting anti-Arab slogans. The New York Times actually verified this footage. (left) It doesn't mention antisemitic slogans, on the contrary, it mentions 'anti Israel slogans" (right)

Wiener later felt mixed about the efficacy of boycotting anti-LGBTQ states. That’s fine. You can argue about boycotts. But at no point did anyone say Wiener’s boycott meant he wanted to “destroy” Florida, Alabama, Texas, or 14 other states. To do so would’ve been bad faith.

Yesterday the President of Sonoma State University aligned the campus with BDS, a movement whose goal is the destruction of Israel, home to 7M Jews. Several other UC & CSU campuses are doing this more subtly. Sonoma State simply said the quiet part out loud. The mask is off. 🧵

It’s not a radical nor antisemitic stance, it’s a simple call for actions to align w/morals: You wouldn’t buy products made in apartheid South Africa, or perform there, or participate in cultural exchanges there The same should be true for Israel Listen to Desmond Tutu himself

And yet they’ve managed to persuade much of the media and political establishment that they are the victims, much as Israel itself postures as a victim while raining death on Gaza every day.

Did another little pass by invitation, saw that there’s a medical tent and a mental health tent being set up. Quite apart from the justness of the cause, it’s a beautiful little experiment in building a better kind of society amid the sterile corporate campus space.

This is a really common question, probably because the library/author relationship can seem pretty opaque from the outside. But libraries do benefit authors! A lot! Here’s how-

You have no idea what actually happened yet. I don’t either. I just know you don’t go from whatever the police said the next morning after having barred all journalists from the area, and threatened to arrest the dean of journalism if he stepped out of *Pulitzer Hall* on campus.

Jews in 1930s Germany had far more in common with Palestinians today than w/Israeli Jews, in terms of oppression. Because antisemitism in Germany THEN was white supremacy. And anti-Palestinian hate NOW is white supremacy. All that’s changed is who gets to define whiteness. 16/
