When you see politicians breathlessly supporting Israel I need you to remember this data and realize they are not courting Jews THEY ARE COURTING CHRISTIAN ZIONISTS WHO HAVE ALL THE MONEY AND POWER
A chart that polled American Jews asking if they see isreal as a dealbreaker issue in the candidates they vote for and they are all under 30% even the republican Jews. The democrats Jews are less then 10%

Whatever Platner did or didn’t do, pay attention to how quickly conversations about sexual and physical violence against women turn into “aw shucks” meditations on second chances in a way almost no other harms do. What you frame as deserving of grace tells me who you believe should absorb the cost.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Alberto Castañeda Mondragón says his memory was so jumbled after a beating by immigration officers that he initially could not remember he had a daughter and still struggles to recall treasured moments like the night he taught her to dance.

But the violence he endured last month in Minnesota while being detained is seared into his battered brain.

He remembers Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pulling him from a friend’s car on Jan. 8 outside a St. Paul shopping center and throwing him to the ground, handcuffing him, then punching him and striking his head with a steel baton. He remembers being dragged into an SUV and taken to a detention facility, where he said he was beaten again.

He also remembers the emergency room and the intense pain from eight skull fractures and five life-threatening brain hemorrhages.

In a career spanning 40 years, I have never encountered this type of rhetoric. The Right never used to talk like this. So who on our side has legitimized this type of vile degradation? It’s a question worth thinking about.@bethanyshondark

I would also say that the state of Israel’s decades-long insistence that they both represent all jews and any criticism, including clearly legitimate criticism, of their actions equals antisemitism has only served to endanger jews around the world.

You hear this a lot on the left but it isn't true. USAID did not "fail to tell its story to Americans," the right targeted the agency with lies and misinformation. Ultimately this narrative turns conservative attacks into even more calls for the left to reform. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/29/o...
I Worked at U.S.A.I.D. for Over 8 Years. This Is Our Biggest Failure.
I worked for U.S.A.I.D. in East Africa over the past eight and a half years, selling the story of American foreign aid to people in Rwanda, Ethiopia and Kenya. Our inability to tell this same story to Americans is our great failure. It is what put the agency into the Department of Government Efficiency’s wood chipper first. It’s what allows Secretary of State Marco Rubio to get away with insisting that lifesaving humanitarian aid would continue while the administration drastically slashed its funding. And it’s what I fear will let this presidency cast the deaths from the next preventable catastrophe as unstoppable or inevitable.

Thread of the day. Future gens - if in a free society - will wonder why we let Nazi-curious enthusiasts define antisemitism, grossly trivialize it to crush opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and then weaponize it to destroy our rights. My fellow Jews who support this are cutting our throats.

It's important to realize that these folks (and there are many) genuinely do not think Jews who criticize Israel are Jewish. This translates into how they think about antisemitism, solidarity, etc. If you don't think someone is Jewish, you also don't think they can be targets of antisemitism.

I'm sorry is Seth Rogen promoting yet another show about being Jewish and monetizing his "when convenient" ties to the Jewish tribe? I'm sorry, Seth Rogen who is embarrassed of Jews who support Israel and once told Marc Maron that he'd been sold a bunch of lies about what it means to be a Jew? The same Seth Rogen who in one foul and absurd tweet tried to justify and participate in the silencing of the only Jews in Hollywood - myself included - who are actually doing anything to expose antisemitism?

To me, this gets to the heart of much of the nationalist & right wing approach to fighting antisemitism. They really don't believe it can be rooted out: they only define it as a personal sin as opposed to a societal dynamic that can be addressed. And it's why they fail at fighting it so badly.

You can't "fight antisemitism" as it's the irrational belief of fact-impervious losers. Instead, we can only fight antisemites—a luxury that Zionism, Israel, and the IDF finally affords the Jews after 2,000 years of cringing and apologia. Netanyahu gets this. Impressive speech.

Venezuela last year & came to US to seek asylum. He has a strong claim. He was detained upon entry because ICE alleged his tattoos are gang related. They are absolutely not.

Our client worked in the arts in Venezuela.
He is LGBTQ. His tattoos are benign. But ICE submitted photos of his tattoos as evidence he is Tren de Aragua. His @ImmDef attorney planned to present evidence he is not. But never got the chance because our client has been disappeared.Solanyer said an ICE officer told her that her brother was detained because of a tattoo that linked him to
Tren de Aragua, a violent gang with Venezuelan prison origins that has spread through the Americas.
She said the tattoo depicted a rose and that he had gotten it in a tattoo parlor in Dallas.
"He thought it looked cool, looked nice, it didn't have any other significance," she said, stressing that he is not a gang member.Caraballo had multiple tattoos including ones of roses, a clock with this daughter's birth time, a lion and a shaving razor, said his wife.
"I've never seen him without hair, so I haven't recognized him in the photos," she said. "I just suspect he's there because of the tattoos that he has and right now any Venezuelan man with tattoos is assumed to be a gang member", she added, citing also the fact that he has effectively gone missing.
Sanchez said her husband has never been a member of Tren de Aragua.taseenb
