The Zionist denial of atrocities in Gaza are getting more and more absurd. Medinat Israel will never be the answer to Jewish safety and liberation. My latest plea

I missed that Florida is proposing a new bill that would allow people to bring wrongful death suits for pregnancy loss. Not only is this another step towards personhood but I'll be anything it will mostly be used by men suing women who have had miscarriages/abortions

Florida lawmakers advanced a bill this week that abortion advocates fear could lead to an all-out abortion ban in the state.

In my comm college dept an Ed prof was bragging abt teaching kids abt Jewish holidays. I said they’re often taught incorrectly & wed prefer secularism. She badgered me until I cried in the bathroom. The dept had me apologize. Zionism matters not Jewish feelings

There is a conversation to be had about “Jewish supremacy” in Israel but saying that about the US or Europe or anywhere else is just protocols of Zion bullshit. Jews do not control the US & support for Israel does not equal support for Jews

Justice Sam Alito was v disturbed yesterday by the mere possibility that judges might be using the federal compassionate release statute to *checks notes* grant incarcerated people's requests for compassionate release

Sam Alito Very Concerned About the Possibility of People Not Being In Prison For As Long As Possible
Interesting to which issues prompt judges to get worked up about other judges deciding cases in line with their personal ideological agendas.

The more and more I saw that video of the exercise class in front of an ICE building the more irritated I got that people actually think its a helpful protest. It's not. It's basically just dancing in front of a concentration camp

Lord have mercy the Supreme Court is hearing oral argument rn in an appeal from a case I wrote about last year
it's undisputed that Damon Landor suffered a *brazen* violation of his legal rights, yet the GOP justices sound skeptical that he can actually sue the prison guards who violated his rights

Louisiana prison guards subjected Damon Landor to horrible treatment--none of the judges who heard his case dispute that
Nor do they contest the flagrant illegality of the guards’ abuse
But they're divided on whether Damon—and the courts—can do anything about it

Federal Court: Prison Guards Forcibly Shaving a Rastafarian’s Head Is Someone Else’s Problem
A Fifth Circuit decision prohibited guards from cutting Damon Landor’s hair. He gave them a copy. They literally threw it in the trash.

I know everyone is saying the court will just take up a different case to overturn obergefell & thats likely but the court allowed SB8 out of Texas & some other truly bizarre things so I think we are allowed to be happy gay marriage is safe for another term

I’m an extremely public non Zionist Jew and this is a response to my saying many Jews are fighting the bad faith weaponization of antisemitism but still experience real antisemitism. Y’all can’t help outing yourselves. I’m not the one confusing antisemitism w/ antiZionism here
Please stop confusing anti-Zionism with antisemitism. We make it perfectly clear what we’re against. The victim card will not work if you’re a Zionist

Christians do not face oppression in the US. Jews dealing with antisemitism is not actually the same as people on bluesky discussing the way Christian nationalism supports Trump! But I know Christians have to center themselves in everything

The daily onslaught of actual antisemitism side by side w/ bad faith weaponization of antisemitism really is impacting Jews standing against the genocide. We are fighting the weaponization but we’re fighting antisemitism directed at us too. Please stop saying antisemitism isn’t an issue in the US

SCOTUS has granted a stay in Trump v. Orr, the trans passport case, meaning that the government will be able to once again deny gender marker changes to trans passport applicants.
This is a terrible decision with horrifying consequences for trans folks.

SCOTUS just granted an emergency order to let an anti trans Trump policy go into effect while the case goes through the courts. The policy requires passports reflect sex assigned at birth. This is very dangerous for trans people & should not be ignored
