I absolutely get more pissed at left-wing antisemitism than right-wing, because I expect people on the right to be antisemitic (it's core to the rest of their values). It's got no fucking place from anyone who uses the term "progressive."

Meanwhile, Adam Schiff and others who get a fuckton of AIPAC money voted against it. This is just straight-up antisemitism implying that Jews are controlling the government, and has no place from "progressives."

AIPAC sucks, supports genocide, and is a hub for Christian Zionists as much as anyone. *And* at the same time:
When you vaguepost like this about issues unrelated to Israel suggesting an org associated with Judaism is to blame, you are at least FLIRTING with antisemitic conspiracy theory.

I know it's the fiftieth anniversary, etc. But it has to be said:

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

You know the people who are still pissed about "literally" meaning "figuratively?"
That's me when I hear "drop a dime" being used to refer to a fantastic pass from a QB instead of a low-down dirty rat snitching on someone.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

That thing where you're potentially the world's first trillionaire and also know that no human being ever has or ever will love you.
I know people think Musk only bought Twitter to help the rise of fascism.
While that’s important, I still think it’s secondary to his primary goal, which was to own the place where his fans praise him.
With AI, Musk’s use of the platform for love and validation is only getting more transparent.

jfc if I wasn’t already boycotting… this is a great way to guarantee that I will never shop at your store. Leave me alone! Be around if I have a question, but does anyone want to have repeated unnecessary interactions forced on them when they’re browsing throw pillows?
"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.
