You don’t have a problem with Jews, you just don't want them to have a country. You don’t have a problem with Jews, you just don't want them to defend themselves from violence. You don’t have a problem with Jews, you just have a problem with Jews surviving.

Just had a thought seeing a picture of people in Israel looking safe, healthy and well-fed, and wondering if when the US military invades cities here to attack poor people, if we’ll have our own Gaza here.

RFK, Jr. is named as Trump's HHS pick. Expect a booming market tiny headstones and infant funeral clothes.

Please. You are as responsible for Trump’s win as any Republican. And now you’re looking to coalition build? Go fuck yourself. As we are building the next chapter of the Democratic Party, I’m gonna do everything I can to make sure antisemitic, hateful freaks like you aren’t in it.
No excuses. Every single one of my Democratic colleagues should be voting against this bill that gives Trump and his incoming administration dictatorial powers to target nonprofit organizations as political enemies without due process.

When a black person tells you about racism, you listen. When a gay man person you about homophobia, you listen. When a Jewish person tells you about antisemitism, you tell us that it depends on the context. Have you ever considered that Jews might know more about antisemitism than you because we experience it every day?

Now is a great time to talk to your doctor about getting an IUD. Yes, the insertion can be painful, but temporary discomfort is 100% worth it for 3-8 years of pregnancy prevention and, in some cases, no periods. We cannot trust men to protect us, we have to protect ourselves.

Bookmark this. Trump will turn on the Jews and Israel when it is convenient for him.

Do NOT panic during this first part of the evening. Rural counties report first because they have fewer votes to count -- tends to result in Republicans coming out to early leads. Democratic count tends to come in later in the evening. Keep Kamala and carry on a la.

The future of not just America but the whole world hinges on what we do today in the United States. Only one of these candidates is fit to lead our great nation. Stay in the voting line no matter what; vote for Kamala Harris; and help save our planet from a possible nightmare.

The Taliban has banned women from speaking to each other. Did anyone hear the UN condemn it? Did anyone hear from women's organizations? Did anyone hear from world leaders? Does anyone care, or do they only care when Israel is involved?

DISGUSTING: Queens College in New York will offer a course labeling the Hebrew Bible as "texts of terror," linking its stories to accusations of genocide by Israel. This wouldn't be tolerated with any other religious text—newsflash: every scripture contains gruesome stories.

NY Times just now: "Trump told supporters on Sunday that he 'shouldn’t have left' the White House at the end of his term" and "vented angrily about a spate of new public polls showing him losing ground to Vice President Kamala Harris and joked about reporters being shot at."

“This idea that somehow it’s the economy that men care about — I don’t think that’s true. I think it’s preserving the patriarchy, and I think women see that, and they want to burn it down." @shannonrwatts msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidou…

Senior women supporting Harris by a 2-1 margin in Iowa poll is a reminder that it's not just young women who care about abortion. Over a long life, almost every woman has either experienced a miscarriage or helped a close friend through one. They know how personal this is.

Ridiculous. The MOSSAD-HAARP joint venture weather machine is only to be used for emergency purposes like making sure it doesn't rain immediately after I wash my car. The explanation of this phenomenon is that you're an idiot.
🚨 Spain canceled a weapons deal with Israel. ⚠️HAARP weather weapon unleashed days after. Just a coincidence right?

Pacifism is a privilege when no one’s trying to kill you. I’m glad you “don’t believe in war,” but my friends in the IDF don’t have that luxury. Sure, it’s easier to stay neutral, to cling to pacifism—because it spares you from facing real moral dilemmas. Talk to me when your neighbors openly threaten your life and come to make good on their threats. For your sake, I hope you see things differently.
