It takes some talent to say something that's simultaneously racist against both Palestinians and Jews in a single utterance, but Trump has a peculiar skill set.

I don't know what's more absurd (and absurdly offensive): The "poll" questions, or the fact that's being reported as if it's even a little bit legitimate as a poll.

Today's 7th grade discussion and text study: Was Vashti actually an evil queen/slut/demon animal woman or did lots of the rabbis just really, really hate that a woman once told a man no?

Something I need people to get better on and work on understanding: "I hate this person and everything they stand for" and "I believe the rule of law in the United States matters and should apply to everyone" aren't mutually exclusive concepts.

When fascism came to America, it was wrapped in the flag, carrying a cross, yelling wildly about "faggots," and declaring itself Protector of the Jews

Absolutely repugnant. Shame on anyone who goes along with this fascist display. And by adding “shalom” here they are intentionally trying to pit Muslims and Jews against one another. We are stronger together united against tyranny like this.

congrats to all the liberals calling the attacks on trans people in the U.S. "tragic but inconsequential since there aren't all that many of them" for finally finding out what they'd have done in 1930s germany

At some point in my research I came across a symbol that looked like this — a lightning bolt in a circle with gender symbols — and now I can’t remember what group or movement it was attached to. Does this look familiar to anyone?

Trump’s new press Pentagon press secretary is a proud supporter of the lynching of Jewish Atlanta resident Leo Frank. The men who lynched him started the modern KKK at Stone Mountain in 1915. Trump is staffing the Pentagon with actual, unabashed Nazis and KKKers.

I'd yell at myself but I'm not an elected government official so I don't think it'd help. The Dems, however? They could actually do something, so, they're a worthwhile target of our ire.

Trans people are perfect exactly as we are and as we choose to be. We are blessed to experience a sacred journey of self-determination and expression that many could only dream of. Fuck anyone who says otherwise.

Hey @bluestein.bsky.social how come you say "transgender politics" and not "transgender rights" when writing about the GOP's attack on trans rights?

Another reminder that someone claiming they're "pro-Israel" does not mean they're pro-Jewish. Bannon has a long history of antisemitism. Stay sharp. Lots of bullshit out there from really bad people.

Action item for Georgians this week who want to voice their opposition: Come to the State Capitol on March 6, for a press conference starting at 6 pm (arrive early and bring your ID for admission). Let’s pack the Capitol and show we are standing up to Trump, Musk, and their oligarch friends!

It's hard to miss the fact that the stereotypes this popular podcast comic is throwing at Zelensky - foreign interlocutor who doesn't belong to the people and steals their (our) money - are longtime antisemitic tropes. He may well not intend it that way or even know that, but someone will.

look I am all about spinning around and racing with the horses, but as gay men in our 30s we should be volunteering in our community and fighting for LGBTQ youth because stuff like this is happening and they deserve to know people have their backs

I write an explainer/education email for all of my colleagues at school when we've got holidays and observances coming up. With Rosh Chodesh Adar starting tomorrow night, I really didn't know what to say. Turns out, though, Jeremy found the right words of Torah, so I just shared this. Come learn.
