An American Indian recently reminded me that NDNs preceded the existence of the US and will exist after it collapses. A great and hopeful reminder for "Columbus Day". Some things are more fundamental than idolatrous nationalism. And on that note, I'm going to go dance with the Torah.

In the Jewish calendar, it's an intense day today. A day that carries joy, and is also part of the days of awe.
That feels about right at the moment.

All that pandering and they still got bitten in the ass.
You would hope more people will wake up to the futility of cozying up with Trumpist fascism, but unfortunately a lot of people will continue to learn this the hard way. Kissing Trump's ring will never be a good idea.

You can disagree with their analysis or think they are misguided or even think they are cynical opportunists. But to invoke greed and money grubbing? Really now? Come on.

Yeah, no. The idea that Jewish orgs are consciously fabricating antisemitism merely to be money grubbers seems conspiratorial rather than cynical. I hope you reconsider this view.

If a DEI program includes efforts against antisemitism, and the program gets cut, it is bad for Jewish students as Jews regardless of whether they have an intersectional identity or not.

The White House has put schools in a βcanβt winβ situation.
"in an attempt to abide by the governmentβs directive, colleges and universities are cutting the offices and programs that hosted many of their proactive efforts to address antisemitism"

Are Jews being given special treatment? Which Jews?
The DEI programs that addressed antisemitism are getting axed and Jewish student protestors are often treated horribly.

Intersectionality or not, universities were beginning to address antisemitism specifically through their DEI programs, which have been put on the chopping block. So anti-DEI does undermine efforts against antisemitism.

How is this a significant issue, outside of a few people grumbling on the internet?
Christianity is the norm in the US and negative attitudes towards the non-religious and non-Christians is common among Christians.
