I can't doomscroll because my friend is over with her toddler and every few minutes the baby comes over to solemnly offer me a truck and then immediately repossess the truck. Very effective

It's controversial not to kill kids? It's a sign of mental damage? Well damn.

Trump campaign peace promises loom large over wartime presidency The "anti-war" candidate has bombed seven countries and launched a new regime-change war in Iran.

πŸ’₯β€œNo president in the modern era has ordered more military strikes against as many different countries as Trump. He's attacked 7 nations, 3 of which β€” Iran, Nigeria & Venezuela β€” had never been targeted by US strikes. He authorized more individual air strikes in 2025 than Biden did in 4 years.”πŸ’₯

I lived a few streets down from the site where the Philadelphia Police Department firebombed an entire city block in 1985, and when I mention it in lecture most of my students seem absolutely incredulous

yeah, frustrating. then they started bashing my looks w/an 8-yr-old picture that i still think looks pretty good,lol! but that was when i was like, oh, i know who you areβ€”men who try to accuse others of bigotry & prejudice while practicing full-blown misogyny. thank u, nextπŸ™„ bsky.app/profile/erin...

she didn't write the original post! she is sharing that people are being anti-semitic. but go ahead and gang up on Erin, it is clearly making a lot of you feel like heroes

this is completely false. there are 4,000+ US citizens in the Efrat settlement in West Bank alone. That’s over a third of the population. How many of those Americans are engaging in the raids, arson, violence & murders against the Palestinians? Keep calling me slurs, i’ll keep asking the questions..

yours & @joelhs.bsky.social’s brand of misogyny would probably do best on the US men’s hockey team. sending all my best for your audition!

from my perspective, that is not in any way what i was doing. i explained my viewpoint below. but i appreciate your comments & thank you for them

i also pointed out that i’ve never written an antisemitic post in my life & have always taken pains to separate the actions of the Israeli far-right govt & uplift the collaborative & pro-active Jewish voices in the Pro-Palestinian movement. So i felt the smear was unfair & damaging.

i appreciate your comments, Chanda, & thank you. as i said to Rebecca, i was not viewing this as a clichΓ© or trope. I was thinking of all the illegal land sales in NY for yrs now & the high number of Americans participating in violence & killings in the settlements which so many fail to acknowledge

i appreciate this comment, thank you. as i’ve said, i wasn’t connecting this to a stereotype or clichΓ©. i’m knee deep in research on land sales across NY state. there’s a deep lack of acknowledgment, imo, of just how many settlers are Americans participating in violence on the ground over there

i would appreciate it but i also never tell someone how to use their feed. would i prefer that the post was not there? yes, of course. but also the damage has already been done. i mean, may i ask why you’ve never posted my RT’s of Jewish Voice for Peace, etc?

I appreciate this comment, thank you. I was not thinking of clichΓ©s or stereotypes when I RT’d. I was thinking of the very high numbers of illegal land sales taking place in NY, NJ & LI, for yrs now & the high numbers of Americans participating on the ground in violence & killings in the settlements

So pls tell me where have I ever written an antisemitic post?

I’m not averse to that but let’s be clear: I’m not β€œcoming at you” personally; you came at me personally & I’m simply pointing out that you must have knowledge of both my Pro Palestinian stance & my uplifting of Jewish voices w/in the movementβ€”and yet you chose to publicly accuse me of antisemitism

01.03.2026 15:13 β€” πŸ‘ 3    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

Rebecca, you made a very public post that tacitly accused me of antisemitism w/out any recognition of the fact that I’ve never written an antisemitic post in my life & indeed have defended Jewish voices in the Palestinian movement. this post was RT’d hundreds of times & now you want to go to DM…?
