chuck schumer is a very nice man and even his personal, soul-deep belief that the only reason someone could oppose israel is antisemitism only manifests as mild annoyance. i don't know that he actually believes in evil.
i think "chuck schumer personally does not really think that donald trump is his enemy for this reason" is a perfectly respectable theory

this is a thing that republicans understand and democrats don’t
it's so dumb to talk about bipartisanship as an end unto itself because political parties are not supposed to want to work with each other if they can help it. you're not supposed to wanna work with your opponents. you want to accomplish as much of your agenda as possible

and in this world, assigning an irrational amount of blame and responsibility to a Jewish organization when other culprits go unmentioned or minimized is rightly frowned upon for reasons grounded deep in our history

no, what you're supposed to do is understand when something is antisemitic and not just antizionism, something you seem physically incapable of doing.
Under your rules, there is no way to criticize political zionism without disparaging the entire Jewish community.
What am I supposed to do? Refer to zionism as "the Z-word"?

Zionism and Judaism are not one and the same, but that doesn’t mean the Protocols of the Elders of Zion isn’t antisemitic since it uses the word “Zion” in the name.
Just doing a Jew -> Zionist find-and-replace is not a get-out-of-jail-free card for Judenhaß

you know that scene from The Pianist (a surprisingly good movie considering the fact that it had no director or producer whatsoever) where the bug-eyed lady screams “JEEEEEEEW!! THERE’S A JEEEEEW!!!”

This is the kind of thing that happens when antisemitism is spreading through the political system: people who I think are genuinely not Jew-haters start regurgitating antisemitic shit because it's just out there in the aether.

50 years ago today, Nov. 10, 1975, the Edmund Fitzgerald sank beneath the waves of Lake Superior during a massive storm.
The sinking took the lives of all 29 men on the ship, and became immortalized in Gordon Lightfoot's song.
This is the story of this terrible tragedy.

Holy smokes, this is a "space lasers start forest fires" level of antisemitic insanity. You don't have to like AIPAC at all to recognize that someone who reflexively blames AIPAC for every political occurrence they don't like is probably just an antisemite.

the reason it’s important for the left to be intersectional is because the right is miles ahead of it - they hate everyone else without distinction
Reminder: we are in this together. Whether you accept it or not, they’ll eventually remind you.

It’s interesting how much rightists seems utterly convinced that Bill Clinton is so fucking important. I feel like they just never got over losing in ‘92. Face it, Bush Sr. did a shit campaign
you know it retrospect it is kinda fascinating that the 'epstein didnt kill himself' memes focused around a guy who had not been in any elected position of power since i was 3 months old and not then(and now current) president of the united states

i don’t think the axios reporting is entirely off base if you have house members out here soft launching an abolish-the-senate position lmfao
I don't know what the Senate is going to do. But if they do in fact fold in exchange for nothing, they will be living up to past performance. To expect the Senate to carry out the will of the American people is to misunderstand why it was created in the first place.
