What an outrage?
Do you think the Rashids are the only family this will happen to?
Our insurance company just wrote to us that the life saving medication our 9-year-old daughter needs to live is rejected because they decided—CONTRARY TO HER DOCTOR—that it is "Not Medically Necessary."

Her meds costs ~$200K/year. Insurance industry raked in $88 BILLION in profits last year.

The New York attorney general, Letitia James, has warned New York hospitals that complying with the White House’s executive order to end gender-affirming medical care for transgender youth could well violate state law.

"Do not obey in advance."

@timothysnyder.bsky.social said it.

But is NYU-Langone listening?

Let the record show that this rabbi believes that threatening to deport anyone who took part in exercising their first amendment right, regardless of their citizenship status, is absolutely, entirely, wholly bullshit.

(And also presumably illegal, but I'm sure the ACLU has those receipts.)

We can see the effectiveness of disinformation & trolling right now during this Musk discourse. It's not just about supporters: it also targets the opposition.

Voices saying it's bad, but also "cosplay" "just trolling" etc makes them our own version of Musk's propagandists.

From my archive. June of 2023. An overt naming of Jews and support from Musk.

This is just one of hundreds of examples of Musk engaging in antisemitism since he took over Twitter/X. It is relatively forgotten despite how egregious it is because of how easily these cases are dismissed.
🚨 Elon Musk has gone beyond dogwhistles and has now engaged with an explicitly antisemitic tweet.

“Js” here refers to Jews. The implication is that Mel Gibson is buff because he hates Jews. And that Biden drinks the blood of children (blood libel).

This is beyond dangerous.

The "Anti-Defemation" Legaue has been turned into the "Defame so long you are rich and unconditionally pro-Israel."

They have fully turned into a one issue organization, and that issue is NOT combating antisemitism and hate.

Also, love me a good @bendthearc.bsky.social ratioing ADL today:

Most weeks in shul we read Av Harachamim, a prayer written 1000 years ago by Jews slaughtered during the Crusades. It asks God to "judge among the nations, full of corpses." Somewhere in Gaza, I imagine, someone is writing a prayer like that, to be read 1000 years from now.
At this point, Israel is bombing what has already been bombed, destroying what has already been destroyed, displacing those who have already been displaced—often multiple times—and killing those who have lost everything and are on the brink of death..

"Thought terminating cliches" are a common tactic in cults and other groups that rely on buy in from their members due to the cognitive dissonance that come with their problematic aspects.

I am seeing a lot of those in order to defend Israel's actions.

“Cold” has committed another war crime. If you’re curious the piece takes four paragraphs to mention Israel’s role, only vaguely alludes to it once, and makes zero mention of the mounds of evidence starvation and exposure are a deliberate part of Israel’s strategy

Sharing this video, I wanna add photos of that same great-grandfather.
A Holocaust survivor, turned Chief-Rabbi of the British DP camps, who spent his life dedicated to the memories of holocaust victims.

Here he is speaking and co-leading a religious anti-Zionist rally against Israel in the 1950s.

It's not about bathrooms.
It's not about safety.
It never was.

It's about legalizing transphobia, and legislating trans people out of existence (which will always fail).
1. Nancy Mace, in an interview, made it clear that her opposition to Sarah McBride in Bathrooms was never about "safety," or "privacy"

She stated, "It's offensive that Sarah McBride thinks [she's] my equal."

The audacity of a trans person being her equal.

The recent focus on left wing antisemitism has caused the massive growth of right wing antisemitism to largely be under-discussed, if discussed at all.

Now that Trump is about to take center stage and Elon Musk is his kingmaker and biggest donor, we simply cannot let this continue to go undetected.
