A girl won the role of Seymour in South Grand Prairie High School in Texas. Then, the district freaked out because of Texas' anti-trans and anti-gay law. So they tried to strip her role and give it to a boy. She refused, so now they are cancelling the play. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.
from Melissa Braunstein: "Nobody waged war against civilians. Lies like this from authority figures set dangerous things in motion that negatively affect *American* Jews."

I don’t love the idea of the government telling Jewish delis they can’t call themselves “Jewish” if they aren’t strictly kosher, when most American Jews don’t keep kashrut. Jewish identity is not for the state to define. www.inquirer.com/food/restaur...
inquirer.com
The Kibitz Room calls itself a Jewish deli. To the State of New Jersey, that’s not quite kosher.
The Cherry Hill deli faces a $1,000 penalty for failing to disclose that its food is not kosher. The operator calls the proposed sanctions a "schmear campaign."

Rather than cover the cost of gender affirming care for trans youth under medicaid, Colorado is voluntarily enacting the republican "taper and detransition" policy for youth on medicaid and dropping coverage. WTF.
Ironically, the first known violation of that law is now coming from the state itself. On September 18th, the Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) informed providers that “certain Physician-Administered Drug (PAD) services for the purposes of gender-affirming care will no longer be covered benefits for members under 18 years of age.” Two weeks later, HCPF released its full policy surrounding its updated coverage, and it somehow manages to be worse than the policies enacted by Arizona and Virginia. As Transitics reported last week, the federal rule allows for a 6-month ‘tapering’ period for youth currently receiving gender-affirming care where federal funds can still be used. And although HCPF does mention that stipulation in its policy, it also introduced a strange exception:

“Effective October 13, 2026, claims payment for GnRH/LHRH agents prescribed for gender-affirming care therapy for members under the age of 18 will not be allowed… Prior authorization for testosterone, estrogen, progesterone or medroxyprogesterone therapy for members under the age of 18,” the policy reads, “who are receiving and stabilized on therapy for gender-affirming care prior to October 13, 2026, may receive approval to allow for tapering and discontinuation of therapy.”

The exclusion of puberty blockers in the tapering policy isn’t accidental. The state’s prior authorization guidance that was updated the same day mirrors the policy and once again does not allow for a tapering period for trans kids receiving puberty blockers. And like Arizona and Virginia, Colorado has provided no indication that it has notified patients and their families. In doing so, Colorado is going far beyond what even the Trump administration intended—immediately cutting many trans kids’ care and leaving them scrambling for options.

The problem with this framing is that they always define “right to exist” as “right to prioritize maintaining a Jewish voting majority above enfranchising everyone who lives in the governed territories.” Which gets you precisely into the policies in question.
from the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue: “I’ll debate Israel’s laws, its leaders, its policies. But I won’t debate whether it has the right to exist. That’s a stupid debate.”

We’re probably one week away from “Israel forced Zelenskyy to provoke the Russian invasion of Ukraine.”
From Cenk Uygur: “Israel had Zelensky attack an Iranian ship to try to merge Iran and Ukranian wars. In that scenario, we’d be at war with Russia. So, yes, Israel is definitely pulling the strings on this, too. And as usual, it has a disastrous plan. They won’t be satisfied until they cause WWIII.”

Well folks it happened: a U.S. district court has ruled that Americans no longer have to go through the ATF and register to acquire short-barreled rifles, shotguns or suppressors. This is a massive change to gun laws in this country and also...not likely to change much. I'll explain.
Although the district court’s injunction applies only to plaintiffs and certain other specified 
persons, the Department has determined to exercise its enforcement discretion to create greater 
uniformity, consistent with the Attorney General’s statement today. Consequently, effective 
October 9, 2026, ATF will no longer require individuals to seek ATF approval under the NFA 
before making or transferring short-barreled rifles, short-barreled shotguns, silencers, and “any 
other weapon[s]” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(e). ATF will also no longer require such items 
to be registered in the National Firearms Registration and Transfer Record. These policies apply 
uniformly to anyone otherwise subject to these requirements, not just to the plaintiffs in the 
litigation

Rhetoric like this is going to do more to ensure that young generations do not take the Holocaust seriously than any actual denier ever could.
“If there were an award for lies, hatred, and blood libels, Navi Pillay wouldn’t just be a contender. She’d be a frontrunner.

Her role in the relentless, politically motivated demonization of Israel and promotion of the genolie speaks volumes.

Awarding Pillay the Nobel Peace Prize isn’t a recognition of justice. It’s the grotesque weaponization of an award to legitimize anti-Israel hatred and prejudice.

Now that the Nobel commission has rewarded the biggest lie of the 21st century, Joseph Goebbels is certainly applauding from hell.”

The discourse on antisemitism in the country is such that Mike Rogers can simultaneously attack Abdul El-Sayed *as* antisemitic, as a scary foreign Muslim critic of Israel, and also *with* antisemitism, as a tool of the foreign-born Jewish puppeteer.
"LEAKED: Footage of Abdul El-Sayed fundraising last night in the California home of the far-left Soros family. 

Abdul’s education was paid for by the Soros family and NOW they are funding his campaign to make him a U.S. Senator 

The Soros family is funding Abdul because he will carry out their agenda of: 

➡️ defunding the police 
➡️ emptying prisons, and letting violent criminals & sex offenders back onto the streets 
➡️ gender transition surgeries for minors 
➡️ allowing illegals to vote in American elections 

Abdul is too extreme for Michigan."

No one is represented if your opinion is: 10/7/2023 was one of the worst days, because of the war crimes that day AND the genocide that followed, and no civilian deaths are worth celebrating even if the death tolls are grossly unequal, and there is simply nothing to do today but mourn everyone.

If you want to know why Jews are suspicious of you when you're just trying to be a well-meaning antizionist gentile, consider that these two things were written by the same man, Guangtian Ha, a (currently suspended) religion professor at Haverford
a passage from an article by guangtian ha that reads:

We make this call amidst growing concern about antisemitism on our campus. Questions have arisen in the context of a number of specific situations, including external influences from Lower Merion, from donors, and from some alumni who are hell-bent on defining the " ways to be Jewish. This, of course, flies in the face of thousands of years of Jewish tradition which is fundamentally based on interrogation, questioning, and truth-seeking. We take these attacks on our anti-Zionist Jewish community members seriously and we understand the real damage the state of Israel causes for the entire Jewish world when it claims to be acting on behalf of all Jews while engaging in horrific atrocities that - truth be told- mirror some of the worst stereotypes of Jews that have been a part of European racism for centuries. We will be clear: antisemitism should be unacceptable at Haverford, but the energy and consideration which some in our administration have granted these bad faith actors suggests otherwise.a passage from a court document about guangtian ha that reads:

In or about January 2026, through in or about February 2026, defendant GUANGTIAN HA, using X account "America IstLM" posted a series of threatening and harassing messages directed at Victim 1, including the following:
a. "Jew, get the fuck out of my country" 
b. "Jew pig, get the fuck out of Lower Merion"
c. "If jews are so special then they should also be placed in special  camps and receive special treatments" 
d. "LM jews are going to have it big time, jew. Remember this. You scums have had it too easy. Goyim are taking America back, blood-guzzling demons."
