I hope it is very clear what antisemitism looks like, and I'll tell you what, it's not an op-ed condemning genocide.
Consider that while Rumeysa Öztürk spent 6 weeks in prison for her constitutionally protected speech, the president's friend wouldn't dream of worrying about such a thing.

Spotify, Soundcloud and other tech platforms have worked to remove a new song from Ye that praises Adolf Hitler, but the song and its video have continued to proliferate online including across X, where it has racked up millions of views.

Israel is starving Gaza. Famine is here.
This is what it's like to die from starvation — and it's being used as a weapon of war. 🧵

3 Criticizing a government that carries out war crimes is not hate. It’s obligation.
If your politics can’t confront genocide, then your politics are trash:
No more money.
No more bombs.
No more fake neutrality.
You are either against genocide. Or you are part of it.
Now pick a side.

2 . You don’t “accidentally” flatten hospitals, starve cities, bomb refugees in tents or bomb convoys labeled UN. You do that when you know you’ll get away with it. And the U.S. ensures these crimes continue.

1 . Gaza is being annihilated. Thousands upon thousands of children are dead. Entire bloodlines erased. And the United States is the supplier, sponsor, and shield of the killing.

I wrote "The Trial" on June 11, 2021, the day Darnell's Frazier—an 18 year old Black girl— received an honorary Pulitzer Prize for her video of George Floyd being murdered by those cops. Today, though, I share it because I’m struck by how it applies to Tyre Nichols as well.

Libs lied to every American for zionism.
Libs saw the videos. Knew people and children were being mass murdered by zionists in an ethnic cleansing genocide and they tried to appease voters by lying to us.
Remember Count Smirkula lying daily?

Also extremely important to note that her parents were actually detained under Biden and the child has been living in foster care for nearly a year.
She “has lived in four foster homes while her parents were in immigration detention over the past year.”
The cruelty crosses party lines.

Nothing to see here, just a child separated by essentially impermeable borders from both her parents for her “safety and welfare” based on [checks notes] no “evidence to back this up.”

maybe we shouldn't be disappearing students via secret police for opposing the actions of a state that behaves in this way
Video obtained by my colleague Farnaz Fassihi shows how the IDF deliberately attacked, over several minutes, a convoy of ambulances and other emergency vehicles in #Gaza. #Israel wrongly claimed that the vehicles drove without emergency signals and headlights. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/w...

New footage shows Israel killed 15 Red Crescent and civil defense medics — contradicting army claims that the ambulances were ‘suspicious.’
The video, recovered from a victim’s phone, shows troops targeting clearly marked ambulances and medics in reflective vests.

Blindly posting “general strike!” whenever something bad happens is not useful. If however a local (or national…) labor council called for a mass sick out on a certain day, say May 1, and got all their members to commit, that could actually be something.

Oh boy, there's more. At a presser minutes ago, Jeffries says he's powerless:

NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”
