I am less optimistic than @ilangoldenberg.bsky.social. I think it will undoubtedly make it worse, inflaming more hatred against Jews. It’s hard not to suspect that’s a feature, not a bug of many related steps the administration is taking.

1. This decision to cut millions in funding to Columbia is dangerous and not going to help counter antisemitism on campus. If anything it might just make the problem worse.

Very dangerous idiots.
antisemitism is an inbuilt irrational impulse, contagious and wildly dangerous
The protests and far left “genocide Joe” attitude was antisemitism and that gave you trump by abstentions and split within the left

And the "Christian " Nationalists can only be pleased by having fewer Jews around, talking about such things as Constitutional Protections of speech & religious freedom, and law & order.
Any Jewish person who thinks, "This guy, in the end, will have our backs" is fucking delusional.
Sen Ossoff sideline sitter.
Ro Khanna missing crucial vote subpoena Musk!
Half the Democrats r Fake Democrats paid by Republicans who covertly created a one party system! This is 100 yr RICO against All Americans!
Yeah, and "Donald Musk" isn't a typo.
It's warfare.
We are imploding our society
See what I did there.
Against their own & every one else’s interest!
Plenty to protest about Netanyahu's response. But the idea that there's no antisemitism in play here -- bullshit.
I'm Jewish. People peacefully protesting against the destruction of Gaza are not antisemites. In fact there were Jewish groups participating.
But conflating Palestinian rights advocacy w antisemitism is a game played by the right wing. Musk's nazi salute was not a one-off. He's massively supporting Nazis in Germany and antisemites elsewhere.
Antisemitism is central to the trump administration
trump is a dumbass....
doesnt help that some pro israel activists are eging them on
There are always unintended consequences, and MAGA is not invincible.
Their best buddie, putin, wants a weakened foe, since he has lost so much of his military, and is desperate not to have to actually fight to take over!
An educated and informed citizenry is the biggest threat to autocracy.
If all else fails he’ll declare war with any country - whatever it takes.
It’s what happened many times with authoritarian regimes.

Scale of 1 - 10, from "not at all" to "keenly aware".
