After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.

I do not think all anti-Zionists are antisemitic, but anti-Zionists who label Zohran Mamdani a "Zionist" simply because he condemned swastikas drawn on a Jewish day school in Brooklyn are in fact antisemites.

This is absolutely the right response at this point. The ADL has abandoned its right to be taken seriously as a voice of the American Jewish community. Politicians should absolutely meet with a diverse array of Jewish constituents. But the ADL must be ignored and dismissed until it loses influence.
A ‘Mamdani Monitor’?? Zohran RESPONDS to the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt for vowing to “track” his admin for antisemitism.
“I have some doubts in Jonathan's ability to do so honestly, given that he previously said I had not visited any synagogues only to have to correct himself.”

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

Criticism of Israel is not in itself antisemitic at all, and is in fact entirely necessary and important, but blaming Israel for the fact that people are criticizing a politician who had a Nazi tattoo until a few days ago is in fact antisemitic.
We all know that Israel is behind the attacks on you and your campaign. Keep speaking out against their criminal genocide.

It’s weird how the people I know who are the most invested in new-agey spiritual development things are also like, the least personally evolved people you’ll ever meet. A lifetime of navel gazing just so you can talk in riddles & word soup & still be the same motherfucker at the end of it.
