The IDF murders children? Journalists? Medics? International volunteers? Citizens from other countries? Genocide by starvation? *crickets* Two Israeli Embassy officials get shot? "HOW CAN YOU NOT CARE?! ANTISEMITISM!!" If the genocide of children didn't move you, I don't believe you or your tears.

Going out on a limb here. The murder of two Israeli Embassy staff wasn't anti-Semitic, it was anti-genocide, born of rage and frustration. Someone trying to make a point. No, I'm not condoning it, but I'm concerned it's given the right an excuse to bang their drum, and the fallout will be messy.

They don’t. We have stated that this will not end at Target. But I do understand the frustration, there is a reason we are starting with Target: they promised better. We know who Walmart & McDonalds are. The Target CEO supported DEI in 2020 after George Floyd’s murder in the city Target HQ is in.

See, some people know how to make a point without being a giant douche. Mad respect and thank you.

President Trump is funding a genocide, too. Just as President Biden did. Our tax dollars have been used by both administrations to rip Palestinian children apart. This is what should upset us, not those with the courage to call it out.

Alright, I’m gonna pop off here a bit to make something clear. I frankly am done with the slander that because I hold Democrats to a certain standard that I somehow support Trump? Here’s an excerpt of an article I wrote in October ahead of the election.

A starter home should not cost anywhere close to $1 million. Our whole 2025 legislative package will help fix this -- including AB 595, which provides tax credits for the construction of for-sale homes affordable to Californians who earn moderate incomes.

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

In other words when you consider Jimmy Carter and Ta Nehisi Coates and Ms Rachel and Elmo and Kermit the Frog and whoever else to be a raging antisemite you've basically voided antisemitism of any meaning whatsoever— & that's a political choice made out of expedience to stifle criticism of Israel.

Something needs to be clarified: BOYCOTTS DO NOT HAVE END DATES. The boycott against Target is working because it does not have an end date, these large corporations can take a 6 day hit. There must be a demand and a consequence. We cannot not allow people to co-opt terms.

“The government is more interested in feeding into rhetoric—these ugly stories about immigration. We’re feeding a monster for an administration that is not really concerned about the rule of law..” This is America👆🏽. This is what we are doing.😶 My Morning Read:

In 1938, a stateless Jewish teenager in Paris named Herschel Grynszpan went into the German embassy and shot a diplomat from the Nazi regime. He was arrested and disappeared. The Nazis used this action as the pretext for Kristallnacht, the most famous pogrom in history.
