Opinion | The Attacks on Zohran Mamdani Show That We Need a New Understanding of Antisemitism

I would encourage you to look into this further, while you may not need to agree with him on everything I think calling him an antisemite is not accurate. Lander is cross endorsing with him for a reason www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/o...

It’s also worth adding… those in power (especially white supremacy) got here by exploiting the real communities with power and ability and continue to do so. They are not in power because they are good.

In this horrible capitalist eugenics racist society I’m manifesting a community where we can support and lift each other up, using our strengths to embrace each others weaknesses. Humanity has not survived because they are fittest, they survived by banding together and becoming community

Masking discourse is on again and I’ll just say if you see people masking when few others are it’s likely because they’ve determined that for them, in that setting, the benefit of not catching (or spreading) whatever’s going around is worth the cost of masking. It’s rarely more complicated than that

Just because you aren’t willing to temporarily inconvenience yourself to protect your health and the health of those around you, does not give you the right to give me a hard time for choosing to.

Flying for the first time since the new admin. I’m wearing a mask, which should be everyone, but instead I have never felt more unsafe/uncomfortable. I feel like people are intentionally getting close to me and I’m sick of seeing people roll their eyes or whisper to each other.

as youtube, tiktok, twitch, movies, music, television, and books all start dumping low-quality 'content' to the masses by the tens of thousands, making it impossible to filter the real from non-sensical A.I. slop...

know that we already hold the counterweight:

LIVE theatre. Concerts. Shows.

Man takes offence to my stating we’re still IN a pandemic. Says it’s silly to take precautions.

Then admits his wife has Long Covid and he’s had it β€œat least 4-5 times”.

This is why we’re in this mess. The denial and cognitive dissonance is literally killing & disabling people

This is a feral cat I have befriended over two years, its interactions like this that make me have hope, she wouldn’t let me get close to her for months but with time and many churu’s I now get to witness glorious stomach grooming πŸ₯Ή

A very common thing that comes up with mine when we discuss neurodivergence is how many toxic coping skills we develop simply to function under capitalism

We’re Witnessing the Fall of Public Health… and Your Best Tool is a Mask Measles in Texas, bird flu in Louisiana, tuberculosis in Kansas and Covid everywhere. Public health has been dying a slow death for years, we can’t count on it anymore. What can we count on? A mask!

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask.

If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask.

If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask.

If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask.

My ultimate guide to respirators:

Every day when we get up we have a choice.

We can choose to be tolerant, compassionate, inclusive members of the resistance. We can commit to standing up for all marginalized people in any way we can.

Or we can choose lies, bigotry and division.

Make the right choice. Stand up. Fight back.

Voices that would not get a chance to tell their story otherwise. We need real stories, ones that expand our understanding of the world, so I would especially be looking for something challenges peoples perceptions of the world

Women in theatre scorned… I’m curious, how many were labeled β€œhard to work with” for standing up to injustice/sexism in the theatre community they were a part of… while men in those same communities were praised despite being the ones perpetuating the injustice… #theatresky

Many are asking: β€œWhat can I doΒ now?”

Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

One of the easiest, most visible ways to resist is to mask

Safeguarding your health is more important than ever. It’s easier to fight back when you’re not chronically ill

It shows you care about disabled & marginalized individuals

It tells government you won’t be complicit in the harm of others

In the same way that we are picking up books instead of social media, can some of that be supporting local theatre too?

People need theatre, it builds empathy in such a unique way. I love digital media and movies but it doesn’t connect with you like being guided through the depths of human emotion surrounded by other humans
