It’s striking how often hate toward Jewish Americans is met with silence. In a country that prides itself on justice and free speech, too many look away. Standing up against antisemitism shouldn’t be political—it should be moral. Indifference only fuels it.

if any other country suddenly moved to expel half a million - HALF A MILLION - nonwhite immigrants, reporters would call that a crime against humanity. forced transfer of population falls under that designation; it's also one of the defining aspects of genocide. i'm incandescently angry over this.

Kittens, as far as I can tell, contain explosive devices that launch them into the air seemingly randomly. Little paws flailing out in all directions. Launching multiple heights taller than them. Who hit the detonator on Trevor the kitten? Why is he attacking my shoe? We just don't know.
