A lot of people are taking objection to this point in particular, saying that the persistence of anti-Jewish hatred actually proves Zionism was right. And one can argue that, except that the early Zionists like Pinsker and Herzl argued that their vision *would* end or at least reduce antisemitism.
Here, I made this for my newsletter a few months back. Feel free to share with any Cabinet members you know.
they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement
Latest insane Islamophobic legislation comes from Geneva, Switzerland, where new rules dictate that women at public pools must wear, "one-piece or two-piece swimming costumes whose maximum length is above the knees and which leave the arms bare”.
So, women MUST show arms and legs. That's freedom!
Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.
RFK Jr. told the House E&C Committee today that the way to bring down healthcare costs is to "clean up the risk pool" — remove the people who cost too much. He said the $4.3 trillion we spend on chronic disease is the emergency. He said most of Minnesota's autism services funding was stolen. 🧵
Corporate centrists are absolutely obsessed with the idea that defeating fascism is dependent on extremists “coming to their senses” when in reality the people moving away from Trump are becoming more extreme and will radicalize their followers if material conditions aren’t addressed.
Is there any scpaegoat in all of history that comes anywhere CLOSE to being as successful as that of Pontius "No, you see, guys, when I, the occupying Governor of Judea, crucified that Jewish man, it's only because the Jews, whom I was occupying, forced me to - I'm just a smol bean" Pilate?
So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.

the answer depends on your options.
It's gone on like this for three years I guess
And we're drunk all the time and our lives are a mess
IDF commanders told Haaretz that southern Lebanon is being demolished “like Gaza.” The declared goal is to prevent civilians from being able to return.
Both are war crimes punishable under international law.

Some Poles did love themselves some Nazi ideology, however.
If you're not a resident of Maine this is not a question you need to answer, since you can't vote in that election.
If you truly want an answer, you'd have to say where you DO live.
Thread on a fake story about Platner sieg heiling. He did NOT do this. Rightwingers drumming it up, tho, because Platner brings so much actual trash to the table that they know some will believe it. Which is a good reason not to support people w/ *any* Nazi trash. Not even just a li'l bit of Nazi!
Actually, I’ve explained this MANY TIMES
This generation of Black ppl vote MORE than any generation since we got the right to vote
But after the 1st Black was elected, WHITE PPL began turning out in historic numbers to vote for Trump. As this graph CLEARLY shows…
The “crisis” is white people.
These coaches belong in prison, not just sued. PRISON.
Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square
Dude. Christian conservatives (& Christian liberals!) using “Pharisees” as a shorthand for evil / hypocritical / tyrannical is “just how they talk” BECAUSE of antisemitism. Antisemitism was so embedded in Christian rhetoric for centuries that you all see it as “normal” religious language.

Israel has killed over 750 Palestinians during the Gaza “ceasefire. It’s understandable why Hezbollah doesn’t trust them.
the sexiest
Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.
My book baby is an instant New York Times bestseller!! #4
zol lebn der fucking Bund
This achievement owes everything to my friends, my community, the movement, and you
if you want to help keep up the momentum, I’m making a list of easy ways to help 1/6
Acknowledging the unfortunate and antisemitic ways that Christians use Pharisee as a pure synonym for hypocrite, this doesn’t even make sense in that context.
This is much worse, it’s just a naked way for him to say “Jewish (derogatory)”
My Jewish students, including my Israeli Jewish students, all tell me that they are far more terrified of ending up on a government list of Jews than they are of any campus antisemitism that the administration claims to be fighting. www.jta.org/2026/04/16/u...
You've gotta do the reading to have your question answered. It's a question I avoided having to answer when I taught AP World History because I started teaching about antisemitism centuries before WWII.
The fact it is growing in part because of Gaza just underlines the idiotic emotional appeal of it all. Some freaks are killing innocents half a world away and your *neighbors* are the problem? Are you capable of thinking anything through? How do you go through life with mental faculties like this?
Antisemitism, in addition to being responsible to some of the great crimes and humanitarian crises in modern history, is also just such a quintessential moron’s idea about how world systems operate. It is utterly offensive how stupid it all it is and yet it apparently explains everything to some.
