Read the news today and kept getting angrier and angrier.

Imagine if every right-winger in the country just "disappeared"...

It would do wonders for our carbon footprint.

Ben Shapiro & Chaya Raichik have both now agreed with and spread overt antisemitism & antisemitic conspiracy theories. They have both proudly stood with one of America’s most dangerous antisemites.

How many mainstream Jewish leaders will call them traitors? Part of hate groups?

In 2015-2016, my kids attended Hand in Hand in Jerusalem, 1 of 6 Hebrew/Arabic schools working to create shared Jewish/Palestinian society.

It was also the year of "Intifada of the Individuals,"— stabbing attacks & car rammings, on avg 3x day for a bit.

Here's some of what I learned from the best:

This has got to be one of the more shocking things I've seen on Twitter. Advertisers fleeing because Musk endorsed open antisemitism and the ADL... is praising Musk for cracking down pro-Palestinian sloganeering. Is Elon actually paying off Greenblatt or something?

If you are on X and choose to stay there, your job is to make sure to spread the word about the hate on it, put pressure on advertisers to drop the site, and to make sure to stand against antisemitism as well as all the other forms of bigotry that Musk is engaged in.

Otherwise you should leave.

So here's where we are: overt antisemitism is now being promoted by the owner of X who is also the richest man in the world.

His reach is enormous. He has destroyed moderation. Neo-Nazis are making money from the platform.

Twitter/X is a hate site.
Elon Musk is the most dangerous antisemite in America
Elon Musk often amplifies antisemitic conspiracy theories. His power as Twitter CEO gives him terrifying influence.

Elon Musk was inundated by criticism on Wednesday—this time, for agreeing with a blatantly antisemitic tweet.

CNN’s Jake Tapper noted that Musk was “pushing unvarnished anti semitism at a time of rising antisemitism and violence against Jews.”

something im learning about The Discourse is that you should always use "inflation-adjusted" instead of "real" because the sort of people who think inflation is worse than it is don't know that "real" means "inflation-adjusted."

Maybe not coincidentally!
Just watched a guy argue that wages aren't keeping up with inflation by showing that inflation-adjusted wages have increased 17% while inflation has increased more than that. Incredible stuff.

Ppl are really trying to make all that is shit gold. Calling Jews we don’t like whose politics are anti-Zionist “Zionist” to turn it into an antisemitic slur (which is basically exactly what Israel wants, btw), rehabilitating philosemitism to make Christian fundamentalists look like legit partners…
