We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

Read this and speak up for your Jewish friends.

It’s happening again in the USA- and led by (my fellow?) lefties. Pathetic. Do something, say something!

When left-wing American Jews comment on a rise in antisemitism in the US - without ever mentioning Israel or attempting to scapegoat Palestinian solidarity activism - here are some trends over the course of the decade since Trump first ran for President that they are likely referring to:

It’s disgusting, and it’s coming from our own side!

I am tired of antisemitism. And I am tired of being expected to be ok with antisemitism when the Jews who it’s directed at are Israelis.

Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of US global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. And I wonder if your proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family ... I know you know this in your heart."

Trump (Putin’s bitch) and RFKJ (complete lunatic) are going to limit covid vaccines to those under 6 months and over 65. They. Are. Trying. To. Kill. People.

So, the net result of Signalgate is Hegseth keeps his job, Waltz gets put up for a promotion, and the mainstream media just moves right along?

This should really be all anyone needs to know. He only cares about giant corporations and the oligarchs that fund him. Everyone else? Good luck.

I don’t give a damn how “flawed” the campaign was…..if you couldn’t see that Kamala was the better candidate, you are too stupid to live.

To all the MAGA people gloating about arresting a judge by saying “no one is above the law:” Girl, you elected a multi-felon who skated all consequences who appointed an Attorney General who took a bribe without any consequences. Please sit down. And stay there.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

I really don’t give a shit about WWE, MMA, or any of that dick-swinging nonsense.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

republicans are disappearing people under the guise of fighting antisemitism and can’t even pretend to give a fuck when a jewish governor’s house gets firebombed on passover

This thread!!

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

Well, I feel liberated; how ‘bout you?

A lot of people are wondering what they can do right now. Nothing will solve our problems overnight. But here are just few ways we can all DO SOMETHING to fight back against the Trump Administration as they upend lives, threaten health care, and break the law. 🧵

Okay, but how could we have possibly known Hegseth's lack of experience would lead to a colossal national security disaster?

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

For people suddenly realizing a significant fraction of our fellow citizens support authoritarian ideas and government: both the people and the ideas have been there all along, often in plain sight but unexpressed. We weren't overreacting when we told you about them years ago. We're not now.

Dang…

I feel like I'm a scientist in a disaster movie who spent years trying to warn people of the impending disaster. Only nobody listened. And now that the disaster is upon us, the authorities are like "Yo, smarty-pants, what should we do about this here disaster?" And I'm like: "THE FUCK DO I KNOW?"

Hmm…

Anyone else think that Shark Tank is fundamentally and morally disgusting show?
