Michael Seraphim @mseraphimsl.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I just get hives when people get to define someone else's identity. I don't feel like there's anything nefarious about the California law or anything, but there were people defined as Jewish under the Nuremburg Laws who didn't consider themselves to be Jewish. I don't know. Maybe it's all good. 🤷♂️ 200
Michael Seraphim @mseraphimsl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Making Jewishness a thing you are and not a thing you do or a thing you believe also feeds the dual loyalty antisemetic trope. I get what you're saying and it's unquestionably right, but man, I wish we had different names for the ancestral background and the followers of the faith. 120
Michael Seraphim @mseraphimsl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026It's confusing because both the ancestral background and the religion are called by the same name. There are certainly people who have long Jewish family backgrounds who don't follow the faith and converts (hello Sammy Davis Jr.!) who have no Jewish ancestry at all. 120

Michael Seraphim @mseraphimsl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026We should be working to make sure government expenditures are efficient. Know what's a great return on expenditure? Foreign aid. Domestic cash assistance. Medicare for all. Robust immigration. Investment in basic science. 1131
Michael Seraphim @mseraphimsl.bsky.social · 03/10/2026This is really the heart of what the Nuremberg laws were about. Defining Jewishness as a heritable trait rather than a chosen religion is bad news. 030

Michael Seraphim @mseraphimsl.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Especially when documents proving your legal status, even documents that prove your citizenship, can just be ignored by DHS without recourse.
