Christmas Trees Are Not Pagan a Brief History of the Christmas Trees, White Supremacist Propaganda, & Popular Related Lies

Christmas Trees aren’t pagan…So why are people so obsessed with this myth?

Let’s trace it back to the German nationalists of the 1800s, the Nazis who promoted it, & let’s debunk the supposed origins — Saturnalia, Yule, Sol Invictus, Yule Log….all with citations.

Wild Faith: How the Christian Right Is Taking Over America a book by Talia Lavin Esquire Best Nonfiction Books of 2024 The acclaimed author of Culture Warlords investigates the rise of the Christian Right over the last half-century that lays out the grim vision evangelicals are en...

just a reminder that despite somewhat dismal sales numbers, people who've read my book said they found it important and clarifying, and emotionally resonant, and thoughtful, and well-written. and i hope you'll consider buying it as we move into the era it describes:

One of the best things you can do right now is read books. Buy them. Borrow them from the library. Gift them.

Read history. Read fiction. Read science writing. Read anything that shows you the world is bigger than what fascists say it is.

Read to remember why your resistance matters. 📚💙

It is *very* important to understand that Jews were never the only target of the 1930s Nazis and they are not the only targets of today’s Nazis. A Nazi salute is not only antisemitic. It is also racist, ableist, and queerphobic.

Jewitches is one of my favorite small businesses AND THEY ARE SELLING FROG CANDLES. 😍

Corporations and war machines are the largest contributors to global warming. We have known the impact, but because of greed, it has been ignored.

It is raining in parts of Los Angeles, burnt chaparral and foundations sprinkled with the waters of heaven that have been robbed from it because of capitalism.

@eladn.bsky.social not sure if you have a line?

Working on a post & am asking for help: I have a recollection of Elon Musk being subscribed to a horribly antisemitic account on Twitter, but cannot find corroboration.

Does anyone have a screenshot / link?

Thank you!

Frog candle? Yes, please!

Antisemitism Education As antisemitism is rising globally. And as a result, it is swelling online. It is a duty for not just the Jewish community, but for the people who claim to be our allies, to know this information. It ...

If you want to educate yourself on antisemitism (and I highly recommend you do so) and you don't want to be fed imperialist and pro-genocidal talking points from the ADL, I highly recommend @rudaleh.bsky.social's website. jewitches.com/pages/antise...

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:

the ADL’s tweet about Elon Musk’s Nazi salute edited to say, “This is a genuinely scary moment. A fascist is now president and so many are on edge. Trump's agenda directly threatens many of us, and social media only adds to the anxiety. @elonmusk made a Nazi salute, and his vocal, increasing support for neo- Nazis and fascists has not earned him the benefit of the doubt. Let's speak truth to power fight fascists & protect each other in the months and years ahead.” The ADL’s handle and logo is crossed out and replaced with the words “a different org that actually takes antisemitism seriously.”

Fixed it.

Trans activists stage bathroom sit-in at Capitol Hill The protest marked a shift in LGBTQ+ activists’ approach to calling for change ahead of a second Trump administration expected to enact harsh anti-LGBTQ+ policies.

Story here & pending updates!

Transgender activists (yes, that's Chelsea Manning in the suit!) just staged a sit-in inside the congressional bathroom closest to House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office, to protest GOP-led efforts to keep trans people from using restrooms that match their gender identity. They were arrested. Story TK
