Rubio openly saying that western civilization is *christian* culture exclusively while dog-whistling to the German far right seems like a danger sign for Jewish ppl? maybe?

too bad the adl has decided that you can't be antisemitic as long as you support the genocide of Palestinians.

Greenland’s only Jew hears a familiar pattern in Trump’s annexation talk Paul Cohen, Greenland’s only Jew, explains how Jewish history shapes his response to Trump’s renewed talk of annexing the island.

incredible work by the Forward who found the one Jew in Greenland so they could work the Jewish angle on the Greenland story

(spoiler alert: he does not want Trump to take over Greenland)

Sometimes I hear people say, “whatever happened to the party of Reagan?” with the implication being that the GOP has only recently incorporated bigotry into its core principles.

"Central U.S. case agent: I was working an undercover operation on a neo-Nazi group with a long history of criminal activity. The F.B.I.’s niche in the federal law enforcement community is these specialized investigations, and now we’re being pulled away from those. If I’d wanted to be a cop, I would have just done that. When I resigned from the F.B.I., I was told they’d have to close the investigation — there was no one else around to pick it up."

The Trump administration's FBI shut down a big investigation into a neo-Nazi group so all the agents could be reassigned to immigration enforcement.

You know, in case you took this administration seriously when they claimed to be "fighting antisemitism." (www.nytimes.com/interactive/...)

Or more broadly, telling your most committed constituents that they are an anchor, a liability, a problem for you -- that, by caring about anything more than what a non-college middle-PA swing voter cares about, they are fucking everything up for you.

That's the constant message.

Hey, people whose German is better than mine and have access to Hegel's "Der Geist des Christentums" in the original: when, in "The Spirit of Judaism" he describes the flood as "a deep distraction" and says Noah built "the distracted world"--what's being translated as "distraction/distracted?"

Well I’m not a senator, so my powers of calling it into question are pretty much limited to writing and protest. But you could make an issue of it on the US Senate floor every legislative day.

It's not debatable that a mentally disturbed person has the nuclear codes. The Republicans know they're endangering us all by leaving him in office. This is a betrayal of every person on Earth. It is a crime against humanity.

This says it all. It's madness.

This is what you do when you’re running death camps

Happy MLK day, gang! Martin was a Democratic Socialist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, thought white moderates were the bane of Black existence, and died on a trip to support a sanitation workers' strike!

Beware his sanitized and sanded-down edit!

At 11 years old, Naomi Wadler spoke at the 2018 pro-gun control protest March For Our Lives in Washington, DC. “I represent the African American women who are victims of gun violence, who are simply statistics instead of vibrant, beautiful girls full of potential.”

A century before Trump targeted Somalis, New York’s Jews faced an antisemitic crime libel In 1908, NYC’s police commissioner falsely attributed half the city’s crime to 'Hebrews.' Today, the Jewish mayor of Minneapolis says an entire community shouldn’t be charged for the crimes of a few

Today, the US government is falsely claiming the Somali community is responsible for most crimes in Minneapolis. In 1908, the NYC police commissioner claimed "Hebrews" were responsible for half of all crimes in New York. www.timesofisrael.com/a-century-be...

Trump Sets Fraudster Free From Prison for a Second Time

Fraud is a serious crime that merits laying siege to an entire city and collectively punishing every immigrant from Somalia.

It's also a crime for which you can be pardoned and relieved of compensating your victims, so long as some of the money you stole finds its way to the president.

The most illustrative reply I’ve ever seen.

Here’s what’s really happening with child care fraud in Minnesota - MinnPost Evidence of child care fraud in Minnesota is nowhere near the levels a viral video would suggest — but it hasn’t stopped a crackdown on child care funding.

What’s really happening with child care fraud in Minnesota? Lots of racism, it seems.

Current evidence shows fraud is nowhere near the level claimed by Republicans, but that hasn’t stopped Trump's crackdown on child care funding.
