Sarsgaard colors Schmidt (a character created for the show). . .

This is phenomenal work. Thank you.

That’s one-hundred percent the argument the series is making.

I honestly don’t think I’d have ever even heard of George Soros if not for all the right wing-nuts who just won’t shut up about him.

Don’t feed the russian troll

Serious question: I know some school districts have already admitted that some teachers are carrying guns. Do parents in those districts have a right to know if there is a gun in their child’s classroom? Do they have aright to ask to switch their child to a didferent teacher if they don’t want their kid in a room with…

“I don’t know anything about Pizzagate”

If you know anything about US groups like the Michigan Militia, it will look pretty familiar.

Wikipedia is your friend. You should not be surprised when you get called a duck after walking and quacking like one, and taking a username that happens to have some political baggage.

the nouveau white are getting zealous and becoming white supremacists. Partly to cement their white credentials

How do you define “support for Israel”? I actually don’t give a damn how you do it because it turns out that Jewish communities define it a lot of different ways, and vote accordingly, including support for Palestinian rights and a legitimate two-state solution. We also vote based on domestic policy like taxes,…

Antisemitism is what keeps the right wing crowing about George Soros.

They felt safe, probably because they are mostly white...

It’s mainly the Orthodox ones. I grew up in a modern Orthodox community where everything was about “good for Israel”. My mom even voted for Bush in 2004 for that very reason (she regrets it though). I switched from a private Jewish high school to a public school in about December or January 2008 and I remember the…

The attacks were preventable. It feels like the “conventional wisdom” is there was no way to predict they could’ve happened, but when you look at the gaps in airport security (locking the cockpit doors: had there *never* been a hijacking before?) and the dire warnings from certain people (the infamous “Bin Laden…

I’ve been watching this documentary series on Netflix about early Nazism, and I am struck by how INTENSELY silly the early Nazis seemed. They had these ridiculous little outfits, held very officious looking meetings that didn’t really do anything, and cultivated these very stupid little pseudo-militant units run by…

I just... don’t want to watch a series where the dramatic climax is 9/11. It still seems way too soon. It’s either not going to be a pleasant watching experience or it’s going to feel gross because it is.

This has nothing to do with the article but it does have to do with the new commenting system. I am seeing *a lot* of trolling and it is pretty upsetting. I liked it better when an editor came through and erased the mean and hateful comments...like that soul guy? WTF is that? Why would he even read this website? I…

Believe it or not, some women actually choose to be prostitutes. Because they want to be. She shouldn't be allowed to talk about her experiences because other people have had awful experiences? That's like saying a woman shouldn't talk about her positive experience with an abortion because a lot of women are forced…
