Yes, this is crap. Westfield Wheaton is our closest mall, and is on the way home for many students at our local high school. They idea that they can't go there after school is mindboggling.

Yes, and I would strongly recommend getting trained by whatever immigrant rights org you have in your area if you want to do this-- they will help you understand what is useful.

The antisemitism I’m seeing about Brad Lander today is wild. Unfollowing people I’ve followed for years who’ve lost their minds, saying he’s the wrong type of Jew and somehow all the Jews who voted for him were tricked into it. Some real bad shit from a lot of “we’re the normal ones” Democrats.

If you're a Jew living in NYC in 2026, you're about as safe as a
Jew living in Germany in 1929.
Move, now. That's not your home anymore, trust me.

If you're a Jew in NYC, now is your time to move. After
tonight's election in New York, nobody who is Jewish is safe.
I'd love to see the Trump administration address this Islamic
takeover of America and the exploding Jew hatred.
We need leadership on this issue. It's dangerous.

American Jew, here. Rabbi, actually! AIPAC is not, in fact, "Millions of people." It's a lobbying *org* that spends a lot of money to influence lawmakers with the goal of getting substantial military spending to another govt., & associated goals. US Jews are a *people*, with diverse opinions!

antisemitism includes stirring up anger and resentment against Jews by lying about what someone says. fuck Schumer. plenty of good reasons to want him gone (including things said *in this video*), but you don’t get to just make shit up about videos from 2018 to attack Jews.

The NYT, a paper devoted to spreading the propaganda of rich “centrists” and right wing Trump apologists, isn’t critiquing the wealthy or defending the needy; it’s just trying to stigmatize public services and evangelize for means testing to undermine a socialist mayor. Just my opinion!

When you watch the new HP show you are giving money to someone who will turn around and use that wealth to build structures of society that eliminate women, including cis ones, who don't conform to her very specific vision of femininity (which is, fwiw, right there in the text) from public life.
