As American Jews lose institutional power, anti-Zionism offers some the illusion of reclaiming moral authority.
But the price of admission is steep: the gradual surrender of Jewish peoplehood, tradition, and ultimately, Jewish existence itself.
@Jacob__Siegel on the trap of trading real power for the appearance of influence.
"Jews in America are becoming ghosts. Anemic, vulnerable, eager for acceptance, cut off from the living sources of their tradition, they follow the path of Europe’s Jews who haunt societies where they once flourished."

Adolf Eichmann went to the gallows unrepentant.
The minister who tried to save his soul discovered something more chilling than the “banality of evil”: a Nazi who knew exactly what he believed.

The Birkin bag has gone from luxury status symbol to investment asset, with hedge fund investors betting on designer handbags.
But as Birkins become commodities, are they losing the very exclusivity that made them desirable?

What makes Christopher Nolan’s films unforgettable—and why do they divide critics?

A magazine is more than a reading list on paper. Its magic lies in someone else choosing what belongs—and making something for you to keep.
Like heirlooms, the things we read gather meaning as they pass from hand to hand.

Read: @ArminRosen’s profile of Massad Boulos offers a revealing look at the second Trump administration—how it operated and why voters were put off by it, even if they couldn’t pinpoint why.
“In Boulos we see the practical results of Trump’s adventures in replacing the old, discredited system with a regnal style of cronyism without any real precedent in American history.”

A good read for this week: @ArminRosen’s profile of Massad Boulos, which doubles as a valuable window into important aspects of the second Trump administration. It’s worth your time to learn how it worked—and why voters, whether or not they knew it, were repulsed by the vibes.
“In Boulos we see the practical results of Trump’s adventures in replacing the old, discredited system with a regnal style of cronyism without any real precedent in American history.”
Democrats’ sweeping 2026 midterm victory wasn’t just a backlash against the Iran war.
It was a wholesale rejection of Trumpism—from tariffs and inflation to immigration and government dysfunction.

The ICJ has not found Israel guilty of genocide. But South Africa’s accusations are already being treated as fact.
That’s juridical narrative laundering: turning unproven allegations into apparent legal truth.

Trump says US aid to Israel will end this year. This could be a good thing.
@Jacob__Siegel and @liel argued for it in 2023: aid comes with strings that undermine Israel’s independence and its domestic defense industry.
BREAKING: President Trump says the U.S. will end roughly $4 billion in annual aid to Israel by the end of the year, revealing that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to the decision.
“Because they don’t need it,” Trump said during an exclusive interview on @foxandfriends, describing Israel as a thriving country that no longer requires American financial assistance.
Trump also said Netanyahu raised the idea of ending the aid himself. He emphasized that Israel remains one of America’s most reliable allies as the two countries prepare for a major shift in their financial relationship.

Trump says he’ll end U.S. aid to Israel. As we first said in 2023: Good.
The money comes with strings. Israel would be better off cutting them.

Coco Chanel tried to use Nazi laws to seize her Jewish partners’ business. They outmaneuvered her, survived the war, and ultimately came to own her name.

Election integrity starts with accurate voter rolls. Duplicate registrations, shifting vote records, and hidden algorithms raise serious questions. If results can’t be independently verified, how can they be certified?

Artforum was once the art world’s bible. Now, a former editor argues, it is “for all intents and purposes, dead.”
What happened to a magazine that once shaped the discourse around contemporary art? From David Velasco’s firing to Tina Rivers Ryan’s leadership and Jay Penske’s corporate ownership, a former editor breaks his silence on censorship, internal dysfunction, and the culture of fear behind the magazine’s decline.
