If your dividing line on politics is crudely Zionist vs. Anti-Zionist, and you therefore group Brad together with Richie Torres and John Fetterman rather than Zohran Mamdani and Rashida Tlaib, then you are blind to the real balance of forces and actual operative dynamics animating our politics.

We should all be glad that Brad Lander categorizes himself as a pro-two-state liberal Zionist. So identifying is the price of admission to many spaces where audiences may be receptive to his views on apartheid/genocide/Palestinian freedom, but where they would be completely absent without him.

Your terror is beyond compare With acid locks of burning hair Your razor teeth unlock a haunting scream. Your hunger is in legend told In whispered tales from days of old But please do not devour him Jolene. Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, JOLENE... I'm begging of you please don't eat my man.

If you genuinely believe that antisemitism is a reemerging social crisis and a threat to our safety, the question of, like, "oh is this unfair victim blaming?" becomes totally vapid. We don't have time for that undergrad-section shit anymore.

My latest on Substack- Specters of Balfour "Those who dismiss Piker’s warning as victim-blaming are thinking moralistically, not politically...the point is not to assign blame for antisemitism but to understand the conditions of its emergence"

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

Dolly Parton was universally loved because she was a rich person who knew what it was like to be poor, stayed down to earth, and spent her life giving back to others who were less fortunate. The oligarchs who don’t understand why everyone hates them probably won’t learn from this. But they should

We should treat “Michigan Jews Against AES” the same as “Jews against Zohran”, as the Crockett’s “Black Texans against Talarico”- astroturfed by media, claims of mass defections not supported by data, ergo bitter ppl who should be summarily ignored

it's time to let these people out of the tent. nothing can be gained trying to appease them, but an awful lot can be lost.

some of this comes off as genuine resentment and confusion from media nepo babies and failchildren that someone born into privilege might choose to work to improve the lives of the working class *without* it being some kind of grift
