The Perez Hilton thing really rattled me last night. Not sure why. His mental breakdown almost seems like an organic progression from the way he achieved fame to where we are as a culture now.

Right Wing Watch @rightwingwatch.bsky.social · 2h agoFar-right pastor Dale Partridge says that Germany was "attacked from within by grossly immoral Jewish forces during the Weimar Republic," which naturally made Nazism "extremely appealing": "This Nazi movement terrified the Jews because it represented a powerful form of Christian nationalism."
This is not going to go away. It is not fringe. It is not even really all that radical. It's much closer to the facts than the mind numbing pablum about two states that every Democrat over the age of 900 uses to avoid saying anything of substance.
I mean this sincerely: I think pro Israel people really need to begin internalizing that this is not a fringe opinion anymore and in fact is very statistically likely to be the average view of any brown Democratic candidate for office or any candidate under the age of 50
A gracious concession: “I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. He is a doctor, a community health official, a Rhodes Scholar, and a dedicated Michigander. I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election…

Leftists winning popular elections is very divisive. How are you supposed to unify a country with this sort of thing. I ask you.
This is gonna be the talking point moving forward, but I’d counter that a record ad spend from a PAC that masks its identity (“no one else is”) in a Midwest *primary* is worth obsessing over.
Frank@spiderstumbled.bsky.social · 14h agoYou people are so fucking obsessed with AIPAC, you're too stupid to realize that no one else is.
Half of the $62 million spent by outside groups in Michigan spent to support Stevens came from AIPAC.

David Ellison once again 💩 on the 5625 career film makers that have clearly opposed this merger based on the loss of competition, consolidation of power&decision making, loss of jobs and the ridiculous idea that he is going to make more movies with less money because he is starting $83 bil in hole.
Freedom of the Press Foundation@freedom.press · yesterdayDavid, if you want this charm offensive to work, your dad should sit for an interview. Maybe with an unemployed ex-60 Minutes reporter. He can make the case for giving CBS, CNN and TikTok to a guy building an AI surveillance dystopia. What could go wrong?
The hits on, like, TrackAIPAC (which conflates AIPAC with both non-AIPAC organizations like J Street and generically Jewish donors) are extremely fair! But straightforward attacks on politicians for taking money and air support from AIPAC and its cutouts are absolutely fair game.
American Jewish communal institutions have been pulling this move repeatedly, and rather than undermine the efficacy or legitimacy of whatever thing they're challenging, they're just making people mad at Jews qua Jews. It's unbelievably counterproductive to fighting antisemitism.
I support women’s rights and women’s triumphs
David Ellison wants us to know he’s not ideological, and that’s why he put a conservative with no tv experience in charge of CBS
