. @brett_mcgurk is one of our nation’s great experts on the Middle East and has spent decades working at the highest levels of diplomacy through some of the region’s most consequential moments.
I’m really looking forward to reading Brink and learning from his firsthand account of the extraordinary efforts to free the hostages, and confront the extraordinary challenges of the region.
Ending every conversation with my middle aged friends by saying “sounds about white” when it doesn’t apply to the topic.
RE: Hijacking - I’m cool with waiting for the facts and not on, say, whatever bile Netanyahu spews out of his opportunistic head hole. But it’s a little early to plant your flag on the truther Israeli conspiracy hill isn’t it now?

ICE moving to deport an anti-Zionist Rabbi, and Netanyahu moving to revoke the citizenship of the NAZA filmmakers in the same two weeks. Both the US and Israel are moving to finally codify the idea that any criticism of Israel legally voids your Jewishness.

Translation: someone in the government leaked a planning document, as now happens like every month, to helpfully remind the media that Trump isn’t done with Cuba he’s actually just resting his eyes
🚨#BREAKING: Trump administration is reportedly laying groundwork for a U.S. invasion of Cuba within months.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is recycled reporting from April 2026 when the same account posted nearly identical #BREAKING claims. zeteo.com/p/is-cuba-next x.com/rawsalerts/sta… Recent coverage describes continued contingency planning amid tensions but no imminent invasion. cbsnews.com/news/u-s-groun…

Protesting the Ed Sheeran concert instead of like, the Israeli embassy, is crazy.

I've been trying to think of something funny to say about this, but I can't, because nothing could possibly be funnier than it already is

The central crisis of our time, I'm more convinced daily, is the full collapse of the great universalist epistemes and projects of the 19th century.
People began talking about it as early as the 1970s, but we're now truly inhabiting a world of competing savage particularisms.

Replying to @Variety @sabreenaGS
The very notion that criticizing a foreign government is perceived as “antisemitism” is itself antisemitic.
American Jews are American. We are not proxies of a foreign country, nor does Israel represent Jews or Judaism in any way whatsoever.

There are a thousand reasons that Trump's authoritarianism has been so difficult to defeat. But one of them is this: In the 20th century, American Jewry's most powerful institutions generally defended American democracy. They no longer do. Today, they would prefer an authoritarian America that supports Israel to a democratic America that condemns it.
"The willingness of today’s establishment Jewish groups to aid and abet a racist aspiring dictator as long as he arms Israel and suppresses criticism of it in the US isn’t only immoral. It’s also profoundly foolish," writes @PeterBeinart. jewishcurrents.org/the-shame…

The strangest thing about the MAGA freakout over Fauci is that Trump was his boss - and ran the government - during the entire period they are so mad about.
