Unfortunately I've had to discontinue my old account for personal reasons, but I feel increasingly the need to have my voice counted in the chorus against fascism and extremism. This is my new account intended to allow me to do so. My principles should be clear, but to be sure:

Biden's presidency saw the expansion of the CTC, turbo-charged ACA subsidies, Medicare drug bargaining, the codification of marriage equality, the single largest investment in green energy in world history, and so much more. But don't let facts get in the way of your narrative.
“Republicans are bad” can't be what Democrats run on. We need Democrats with a real vision for healthcare, childcare, and housing.

Eight years ago today, 11 Jews were murdered at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh for doing nothing more than practicing their faith. They had come for Shabbat morning services, and a gunman who wanted Jews dead walked in and opened fire. To this day, it remains the deadliest antisemitic attack in American history. Antisemitism is one of the oldest forms of hate in the world, and when it turns violent, families and survivors are left with a lifetime of unimaginable grief. Even so, the families shattered that day turned their pain into purpose. As we speak, the synagogue is being rebuilt as a memorial and museum dedicated to fighting the very same hate that took their loved ones. May the memories of Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, and Irving Younger be a blessing.

Trump: You'll be my guest at Mar a Lago. The problem is that for $5000, the most you'll be able to buy is a hamburger and maybe a small dessert. I'm not even sure you could buy that. No, don't go there. That's not a good place.

No one hated Jews before 1948? There really should be some qualification to weighing in on topics of racism and discrimination. And yet, here we are. 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫
Replying to @JordanAckerMI
Zionists provided a moral structure to hate jews by choosing to stay silent or continuing to support a state committing genocide. That permission comes from YOUR community and the good news is you are free to take it away at any time.

“I’m still angry about a bunch of lies I willfully believed because I’m a credulous moron.”
I’m still angry Trump was cheated out of 2020. I’m still angry Kari Lake was cheated out of Arizona. I’m still angry Spencer Pratt was cheated out of Los Angeles. Most of all, I’m angry it keeps happening and our government won’t do anything about it.

On this day in 2018, a far-right extremist attacked Pittsburgh’s Tree of Life synagogue during Shabbat services. We remember the eleven people murdered and the six injured. May their memory be a blessing.

Eight years ago today, we suffered the deadliest act of antisemitism in American history when a killer entered Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh while people prayed and murdered 11 of our neighbors. It’s been 2,922 days since the attack, but the pain still lingers in our Commonwealth. Today we offer prayers of comfort to those touched by this violence. Let today be a moment for action, remembrance, and resolve to combat antisemitism in all forms. May the memories of Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil Rosenthal, David Rosenthal, Bernice Simon, Sylvan Simon, Daniel Stein, Melvin Wax, and Irving Younger forever be a blessing.

10 days or so, Trump used the term “Shylock” AGAIN, having done it last year. All ADL could come out with was a vague statement condemning the term, not even naming who said it. ADL used to speak truth to power, regardless of politics, NO MATTER WHO. What happened? What changed?
To describe Marc Chagall as anything other than a Jewish artist or to celebrate neighborhoods like Brighton Beach and Rego Park but not describe their Jewish character ​are just the latest examples of the Mayor's relentless, pathological campaign to erase Jews from the story. He does it so often that one has to assume that this is not ignorance or accidental, but a deliberate effort to normalize antisemitism and marginalize Jewish New Yorkers. It’s despicable.

"Common Era" and "Celsius," respectively.
Does anyone actually know what “CE” and “C” mean on a calculator? Or are we all just clicking both of them multiple times?

Ironically, Israel is living the progressive dream of having 20 political parties that represent every micro-faction, ethnicity and boutique philosophy.

Unironically, that’s what the years of intensive studying is for before you’re allowed to convert, yes
So this convert knows what the majority of Jews do? Amazing!

I genuinely believe that ppl like her WANT that many children to have been killed. They WANT the death toll to be higher than it is, for more civilians to have been killed than actually were, bc it's NOT & never has been about protecting or bettering Palestinian life for them.
Albanese claims up to 380,000 children under 5 may have been killed in Gaza. The total number of children under 5 in Gaza is ~337,000. How does the UN allow her to do this?

For those who claim that criticising *Israel* is somehow “forbidden”, this is the President of La Liga making a grovelling apology to China because one of the League’s players made an offhand remark calling Mao a dictator (which is true!)
Desde LALIGA lamentamos profundamente las declaraciones de Kylian Mbappé que han causado malestar y ofensa en China. Entendemos el daño ocasionado y, en nombre de LALIGA, quiero trasladar nuestras sinceras disculpas al pueblo chino. Durante muchos años hemos construido una relación de respeto, confianza y cooperación con China, sus autoridades, sus instituciones deportivas, sus operadores audiovisuales y millones de aficionados al fútbol español. No podemos permitir que una actuación individual empañe esa relación ni perjudique a los más de 20 clubes de nuestras competiciones profesionales y a millones de aficionados chinos. Estamos adoptando las medidas a nuestro alcance y trabajando directamente con nuestros socios e interlocutores en China para superar esta situación. Nuestro compromiso con China, su pueblo y sus instituciones es firme. Una relación construida durante tantos años no puede quedar dañada por un episodio individual.

I think enjoying a barbecue is better than voting for Netanyahu.
זו קריאת חירום למצביעי הליכוד! היום אף אחד לא נשאר בבית. אין ים, אין מנגל. דואגים שגם המשפחה, החברים והשכנים מגיעים לקלפי. על הכף מונח עתידה של המדינה היהודית שלנו: ממשלת ימין חזקה או ממשלת שמאל בתמיכת המפלגות הערביות. יוצאים להצביע מחל בכל הכוח!
