I spoke with Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, a man refreshingly candid about his disgust with the current administration's policies and its lack of humane leadership

My Gov! He makes me feel hopeful and safe. He would be an ideal president.

This video is excellently succinct & clear on the evolution of antisemitism over time.
Antisemitism molds itself to the shape of the currently accepted values in a particular society at a particular time, changing to ensure that whatever values are currently considered bad are applied to Jews.

Action! I agree. Who is marching April 5th in Chicago???
Step up, stand up, speak out.
This moment is hard — I don't dispute that, but this isn't the time to be afraid.
Make your voice heard, whether it’s at a town hall or on the phone, so Donald Trump and Republicans know how sick and tired you are of them cutting your services.

Trump: “He was very effective. He knows those computers better than anyone. Those vote counting computers. And we ended up winning Pennsylvania like in a landslide. It was pretty good.
Thank you to Elon “

Jews are always the scapegoat in fascist societies. And everywhere else.
“This McCarthyite abduction of a Palestinian Green Card holder is a trial balloon, a test… And the added horror-show twist to this assault on free speech is that it is being done in the name of Jewish people under the pretence of tackling antisemitism.”

Action is the key ingredient
Simply believing that our leaders will do what is right is irresponsible now.
Trusting that everything will work out simply because it always tended work out in the past is a fool's delusion.

Interesting development... Anti GOP vibes from my (totally apolitical) global SimCity team of mayors. Ive been with the same team for many years and the real world rarely seeps in, but now U.S. players are speaking out about stressful news.

The fact this list was ever created is a crime against all Americans. The GOP can all go burn in the hottest circle of hell.
The Trump regime expands its discouraged (BANNED) words across federal agencies. The list is long
