Ok I’m doing it: Thread of all the unquestionable antisemitism by trump admin and associates, because as a Jew, I refuse to be used to further their cynical assault on civil liberties. 1/x
I'm not going to speak for other Jews, but for me personally: I find it pretty fucking galling for the Trump administration, which is staffed in large part by Nazi sympathizers, to use antisemitism as an excuse for their racism and xenophobia.

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

If you or someone you know have been a victim of the sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and would like to discuss your civil legal options, DM me or reach out on Signal at riot.95. I can connect you with excellent free legal counsel.
Unless I'm missing something, and I'm pretty sure I'm not, Twitter's AI is cranking out CSAM deepfakes, Elon Musk is making jokes about it, and nobody is doing anything to stop it or hold anyone at Twitter accountable for its creation and distribution.

Is that right?

You are kidding yourself if you think OpenAI won't be charging for ChatGPT to generate CSAM for pay in a few months. They already charge money for a product that tells kids to self harm, they already have a product that generates "adult content", they already lobby against any AI regulation.

Lyme is one of many health problems caused & exacerbated by manmade climate change. A legitimate health secretary would acknowledge that.

We actually had a pretty good Lyme vaccine but antivaxxers lied & said it gave people knee pain (it didn’t but knee pain?) & got manufacturer to pull it in 2002.
You know what, shitbird? I have an idea. What about a VACCINE?

There are several in late stages of development.

Will you promote them so we can get “children back into the woods” as you say?

I guess we’re talking about MTG again because of a NYT puff piece that just decides not to mention her consistent and overt antisemitism.
20b/x MTG managed to up her hate game recently, opposing an antisemitism bill because it might stop her from blaming Jews for Jesus’s death. Accusations of deicide have fueled centuries of persecution, casting Jews as beyond salvation and therefore inhuman. www.jpost.com/american-pol...

New entries in my unlimited thread on antisemitism in the GOP, on Tucker Carlson's embrace of Nazism. Important context from @lioneltrolling.bsky.social: "The great myth of the conservative past is that of Pontifex Buckley, excommunicating the heretics."

This is a powerful thread that chronicles the extent to which the Trump administration is steeped in antisemitic views.

This is a powerful thread. Thank you for collecting all of this together. I was aware of a lot of these but it’s staggering to see it all collected together. bsky.app/profile/clay...
I’m not Jewish myself, so I’m always hesitant to accuse other people of antisemitism. That said, the way that the right is using antisemitism as a weapon to justify their attacks on the institutions of our country while ignoring it on their own side is antisemitism. Jewish people shouldn’t be props.

The conservative movement seems to be trying to chart a course between Ben Shapiro on its far left edge and Hitler-loving Nick Fuentes on its right edge, and let’s just say the Shapiro faction seems to not be doing so great. I can’t believe these freaks are making me root for Ben Shapiro.
"Ben Shapiro is like a cancer, and cancer spreads," Bannon says. "It metastasizes"

Moses implicitly classifies bats as birds and that’s not stupid, it made sense at the time to go “birds is when wings,” and just like now we don’t go “birds is when wings” even if we read the Bible, I think we can move past “woman is when Eve”

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.
