"For the generation that included heavyweights like Bernard Malamud, Saul Bellow and Alfred Kazin, college attendance, especially at public institutions like New York’s City College, became commonplace. Meanwhile, pro-Nazi organizations like the German-American Bund enjoyed alarming popularity, and xenophobic immigration clampdowns reminded recent arrivals that they were barely tolerated. As put the dire economic straits of Yezierska’s generation behind them, new obstacles to feeling at home in America arose — and new addressed them."

"It’s #Jewish #American Heritage Month, and what better way to celebrate our heritage than #children’s #books about #food? Because everyone, no matter what, can agree that Jewish food is the best.

These books feature diverse and surprising tales about Jewish food, from Ashkenazi classics to Asian and Mexican mash-ups."

#Texas #doctor who said nine-year-olds can safely give #birth appointed to #maternal #mortality #committee

Skop – who has called the supreme court’s overturning of #RoevWade “a victory in the battle but not the end of the #war” – has argued in favor of forcing #rape and #incest #victims as young as nine or 10 to carry #pregnancies to term.

Skop serves as vice-president and director of #medical affairs for the national anti-abortion research group #CharlotteLozierInstitute and is a member of the #American Association of Pro-Life #Obstetricians and #Gynecologists. She is also a plaintiff in a #US #supremecourt #lawsuit seeking to revoke the #Food and #Drug #Administration’s approval of the key #abortion drug mifepristone, which she argues is “dangerous” despite years of #evidence showing the drug is #safe. She has authored a number of research #papers that were ultimately #retracted for #misleading #errors.

Online discourse: "You have to convince me to vote for Joe #Biden"

Why? I don't like Joe Biden. The idea that anyone has to convince you to fall in love with Joe Biden is as absurd of a #political assertion as the #MAGA cult and #Trump, that #politics is about #passion

We don't view politics as a love affair. It's #tactics. And more importantly, it's your #social #responsibility to vote

#Abortion, #TransRights, the #ClimateCrisis, etc: issues you care about, or should care about

But #Gaza...

@benroyce@mastodon.social avatar

Trump said "finish the problem" about Gaza in March. He would greenlight #Netanyahu for #Israel to max out #genocide on #Palestinians

So you're asserting your single-issue concern as more important than other issues and you're even wrong on that one issue

Biden sucks, but Trump and Biden are the only two who have a chance of winning. Again: #strategy, not #emotion

#Emotional #manipulation is how #geopolitical #trollfarm moves to topple #American #democracy, those #trolls are here on #Mastodon

Blogs are modern-day

Some people with a bias for institutional authority and deference to elite power condescend to the idea of blogs or citizen . My hypothesis: part of the reason is the word ‘blog’ sounds funny and people feel self-conscious saying it out loud. exceptionalism is the ability to memory-hole first-principles, history, and the meaning of words better than the rest than the rest of the world.

🔥 Must read.

Scandal made possible by the EU: people are arbitrarily abducted, sold or abandoned in the desert, because of the color of their skin.

Tens of thousands of persons are arbitrarily captured and dumped every year in remote areas to prevent them from migrating to Europe.

More than 35 journalists contributed to this investigation (Lighthouse Reports).

For Dutch speakers, I highly recommend this article.
It's very detailed.

They also give the example of Timothy Hucks, an guy from New York whose crime is to be black. Timothy simply left his flat in Morocco to buy some booze. He got abducted by Moroccan security forces, who decided that, no, he is not American, and dumped him far in the desert with others—all black people.

Tucker Carlson launches his own show on Russian state television

Anyone have this on their bingo card? From, like, a couple years ago?

@flexghost

#TuckerCarlson shows the bitter end of the #USA and #capitalism

Sure: the most "#American" identity is the cutthroat #capitalist, #morality doesn't matter

But for many it's shocking to see #patriotism doesn't matter either (plenty knew that all along, this is about average awareness)

Here it is, #plutocrat #endstagecapitalism hell: "fuck my country"

Amazingly, for many dimwitted #Americans that's fine

Even, in their rotten skulls, "true American patriotism": to be a #traitor
