  1. Why US politics feels like it’s all about Israel — and what that does and doesn’t mean for Jews

    One of the most surprising things about the implosion of Graham Platner’s campaign for US Senate, given the…

  2. "[T]he 56th annual #NYC #PrideMarch Sunday, which was themed “For All of Us.

    But for many #Jewish participants, the festivities unfolded against a backdrop of growing unease.

    “It’s been a lot harder to be Jewish in #queer spaces, and often hard to also be queer in Jewish spaces as well,” Schafer said. “And so I think that we’ve seen record numbers of people here needing to find community.”

    Last year, #Ottawa’s #Pride Parade was cancelled after pro-#Palestinian #protesters blocked the route, and in 2024, Jewish #Lesbians in #NewYork began hosting their own Pride celebration, #Shalom, #Dykes, after organizers of the #DykeMarch hosted their parade under the theme “Dykes Against #Genocide.”

    On Saturday, #California Jewish State Sen. #ScottWiener said in a post on X that he had been harassed “verbally and physically” while attending a #trans march in #SanFrancisco earlier in the week."

  4. Once upon a time, I was willing to toss my union jack and risk further butchering of my French 🇫🇷 surname to move to 'Gay Mecca' #SanFrancisco, #California. ☀️🌞

    Thankfully, maman 🇫🇷 got me in touch with her ex-pat U.S flag burning friends who gave me the serious '411' abt the place. Needless to say, I changed my mind.

    Maybe Craig David 🤮 (rightwing bellend) is happy in the States, but me? No thanx.

    However, I took my new found knowledge of the former Gay Mecca and every now and then I learn even more stuff (#NerdReich invasion, the dissing of #ChesaBoudin, found out more shit all about #GreasyGavinNewsom (#CharlieKirk's fangirl), and about ... #ScottWiener, a zionazi, centrist (READ: right, droite, derecho) who does and votes in whatever way gives him an advantage.

    (Btw, Scotty, the 'Vote for me bec I'm gay and from #SF doesn't work anymore! Plenty of terrible #rightwing LGBT leopard-food traitors exist worldwide. No one falls for identity anymore )

    He's now gunning for corporate centre-right fossil #NancyPelosi's congressionl seat.

    California, I'm aware you're not the 'escape to #queer boho utopia' you once were. But #JusticeDemocrats, progressive #DSA or whomever, can NOT let #CA continue to go down the road of #Macronie-esque centre-RIGHT bullshit.

  6. #California Gov #Newsom signs #ScottWiener bill to bulldoze over opposition to expansion of #housing density and residential construction projects along key rail transit corridors.

    New #Yimby law "Abundant & Affordable Homes Near Transit Act" (#SB79) creates less restrictive state #zoning codes, limits options for those seeking to stall plans, restrict density or halt new housing near transit stations.

    Opposition to legislation included exburb #NIMBY #realestate investors who fear #construction of potential seven story condo bldgs near rail transit corridors that would destroy perception of aesthetic quaintness of #suburbs like Burlingame, or Petaluma etc.

    Earlier this summer #GovNewsom signed similarly YIMBY-backed #legislation to exempt most urban apartment projects from #CEQA reviews, the state’s signature environmental protection law. “Go YIMBYs,” Newsom said when signing that bill into law.

    The state's "housing crisis" conditions in which distinct lack of rental unit availability, and #Prop13 tax measure after effects etc, have all spiked the price of basic housing options, and put vast swaths of not particularly exceptional suburbs amongst the nation's highest priced #realestate markets.

    “In California we talk a lot about where we don’t want to build #homes, but rarely do we talk about where we do—until now,” said law sponsoring state senator Wiener in a statement about his fourth in a decade long attempt to get similar laws passed. “SB 79 unwinds decades of overly restrictive policies that have driven housing costs to astronomical levels, forcing millions of people away from #jobs and #transit and into long commutes from the #suburbs or out of the state entirely. It has been a long road to tackling these decades-old problems, but today’s signing marks a new day for #AffordableHousing in California.”

  15. State Sen. #ScottWiener, D-San Francisco, said #KristiNoem’s request for #military arrests was ominous & out of proportion in a country where “intense #protests have happened throughout history.”
    “This isn’t what happens in a #democracy, this is what happens in a #dictatorship,”Wiener said. “We have a time-honored tradition in the #UnitedStates that the military does not enforce #civilian #law.”
