You can go home again, the General Temporal Theory asserts, so long as you understand that home is a place where you have never been.

My great-grandfather was among the first Jews sent to Dachau, but it had operated for 8 years prior. He arrived to find a concentration camp already full of communists and other leftist dissidents. The public's acceptance of their incarceration paved the road for his own.
Noah Berlatsky@nberlat.bsky.social · 2w agofascists use anti leftism to build power and co opt centrists and liberals. they are doing this right now! this is what all the gibberish anti communist rhetoric is about!
Now's the time to fill any gaps in your collections: we're offering 25% off all books on Fantagraphics.com (including pre-orders) now through Sunday with code SDCC during our Not-At-Comic-Con Sale!
The death of third spaces is really giving people brain rot. Children should have access to public spaces because this is how they learn to behave. Community cohesion depends on one’s willingness to help out with childcare. It is weird to me not to see children existing in public like public transit

🧵 Suggesting that Mayor Mamdani's positions on Israeli government actions stem from a deep-seated hatred of Jews is unfounded, inflammatory, and divisive. 1/3
the democrats are the teens who think "finally we beat freddy krueger, no way he comes back, don't check the corpse, he's dead for sure."
En Buen Ora@enbuenora.bsky.social · 2w agoWhen Democrats win, each time they genuinely conclude that their victory itself is the proof that the country has turned a corner, Republicans have learned their lesson, and doing anything about what Republicans have done would be divisive and partisan and of course therefore beneath them.
The creator of Roger Rabbit (who is 85 years old by the way) is a good sort Crossposted with @openvibe.social
You all, I just teared up at this. In a time of rising fascism, here's a leader who calls even those in prison & forgotten his people, people he serves. More of this please.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3w agoThe beautiful game. The people’s game. Throughout this World Cup, we have been reminded of a simple truth: football belongs to everyone. So does the joy and community it creates. Yesterday, I joined New Yorkers on Rikers Island to watch England take on Argentina.
I do not know what it will take to get "centrist" politicians to understand that if you chase fascist-curious voters by becoming more fascist, they'll just choose the full-on fascist instead of you.
Israel probably lost America. Not yet, but it's coming. Dems are appalled, esp. over Gaza, as 103 House Dems voting to end military aid shows. GOP has an antisemitic wing, and MAGA cultists eager for a stab-in-the-back myth to excuse Trump's Iran war. I bet once the change starts, it'll go fast.
To me, any Democrat who runs for President and doesn't begin by promising to fire everyone at ICE on week 1, cannot be taken seriously about anything else.
Don’t take the bait. Whether ICE planted drugs or there were drugs DOES NOT MATTER. It’s irrelevant to the murder. Feds want us to debate drugs in a story that’s about murder. Stay focused on the murder. It’s not about the victim’s virtue or lack thereof. It’s about ICE murdering people.
The population of Gaza is still being slowly tortured to death by the IDF siege. The genocide is an ongoing event

NYC’s Adopted FY27 Budget Still Fails Our Public Libraries, and provides $91,132,000 less to libraries than Mayor Mamdani promised. NYC PLAN will continue pushing to see library budgets equal 0.5% of the total budget in the FY28 budget and beyond. Full response: nycplan.org/press-releas...
Kudos to Dinaw Mengestu for trying to build support for Palestinian speech within Pen America and then resigning after the organization recently published a post from Zionist writers claiming "professional challenges" due to their support a genocidal ethno-supremacist apartheid state. Gift link.
Dinaw Mengestu Resigns as PEN America President After 7 Months in Role (Gift Article)
The novelist Dinaw Mengestu, who was elected seven months ago, said the article “continues this approach toward defending some rights while not defending others.”

NO. Look, as a comms professional, yes. He had to say something about his colleague. But just say this: “We’re so sorry to hear about the Senator. We thank him for his long years of service, and his family is in our thoughts.” Stop trying to personalize a bad person!
Senator Andy Kim@kim.senate.gov · 3w agoI’m saddened by the news of Senator Graham’s passing this morning. It comes as a real shock. I’m grateful I had the chance to work with Lindsey, including several international trips working on foreign policy. 1/2
I've been saying it, @diplomatofnight.com has been saying it, but every example of this kind of islamophobia you see in print is literally just classical European antisemitism with some proper nouns switched around

The ICE murder of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo deserves the same fury as Renee Good and Alex Pretti
This dirty racist makes me sick. This imagery tells people to target their local Chinese restaurants. Miserable hatemongering bigot.
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · 4w agoMarsha Blackburn's new ad is so racist that it makes me wonder if mainstream Republicans could have gotten away with something like this back in the 1980s or 90s.
