Building power for the Jewish Left with

one meme at a time
pinned post!
Here is my plan for the coming months and years: keep organizing for an arms embargo & funding for essential social services; try to make it harder for fascists to amass power & carry out plans; try to make the lives of people whose lives I can impact a little bit better.

You could just say oligarchs or billionaires or Trump donors and you really should just say Trumpās war or the U.S. & Israelās war. Epstein is dead. This is not his war. But it is an extremely common Jewish last name!

If you think No Kings is too vague or insufficiently radical, I sincerely encourage you to go to your local No Kings rally tomorrow and hand out flyers/zines to recruit folks to your org/cause. It's a perfect recruitment event! Thousands of people eager to DO STUFF! Get out there!

From Israeli settlers to JDL 613 & Hevrut, violent Jewish fascists & supremacists have been emboldened by the Israelās genocidal actions & Israeli politiciansā genocidal statements, as well as the explosion of Islamophobia & anti-Palestinian racism (which was never off limits) in mainstream politics

A JDL member was arrested for attempting to assassinate Palestinian activist Nerdeen Kiswani. Yesterday, JDL members were outside City Hall calling for the council to pass buffer zone bills & they testified last month for the bills, using disgusting anti-Palestinian racism & Islamophobic rhetoric.

Tucker Carlson is very good at what he does. It is what makes him so dangerous. As long as Dems and centrist & liberal public figures continue running cover for genocide & apartheid, the more effective and powerful Tucker will become.

Abusers use whatever they can to manipulate their victims into silence. When it happens in movement spaces, an abuser is counting on the fact that their victim is committed to the cause & wonāt want to hurt it. But it is the abuser who hurts the movement in addition to their victims.

lol I don't think a lot of white people believe that Black people are reliable narrators of our own stories. And IMO this comes from white people wanting to downplay how much anti-Black racism shapes Black people's lives.

Fascism wants you to believe that you are alone. That you are isolated. That the feelings you have are yours and nobody else has them because everybody is too afraid to speak. But love is stronger than fascism. Community is stronger than fascism.

Just got gassed pretty good at the labor union anti-ICE protest in Portland. Massive march, 5-10k strong. Vibes were very much liberal rather than radical. Lots of kids and older folks. They gassed the whole crowd as soon as it marched on ICE, in broad daylight.

The depth of his hate for disabled people is and always has been breathtaking. Itās born of an arrogance Iāve rarely seen-he believes that he is some kind of ubermensch, and the only way he could ever become disabled is if some insidious conspiracy did it to him. Evil, evil man.

One thing that irks me: people keep calling the folks on the streets in Minneapolis protestors. They are not generally there to protest, they are there to observe and document. This is the product of organizing and mutual aid. It is telling that these acts of citizenship are seen as protest!

If you're in New York, please take two minutes right now to call Governor Hochul and tell her to support and sign New York 4 All, which would prevent state and local agencies from collaborating with ICE. 518-474-8390. This is important.

He was doing what many have been saying white men should be doing. He went outside to observe, he documented, he put his body on the line to protect another person and for this he was murdered by the gatekeepers of the fascist regime.

The regime will lie. That's what fascist regimes do. It will continue to murder people in different ways. That's also what fascist regimes do. Regular people will continue to refuse and to not cooperate and to fight back in all of the ways we can.

All the ways ICE is going to rationalize an execution in the streets will be how cops always do it. They had a gun. They were no angel. They had health issues. All common tactics used by cops for years to discredit someone after they killed them.

There's a scene in the Sound of Music where Max says, "what's going to happen is going to happen. Just make sure it doesn't happen to you," and Captain Von Trapp snaps back: "Max, don't you ever say that again." And by the end of the movie, Max is using his position to help obstruct the Nazis.

Iām glad to see Bill say this. But when after a century of just the type of abuse we saw today - relentless and cruel, ensnaring our children and intimidating our communities - young Black people said in frustration, anger, and demand for change ādefund the policeā - so many of you denounced them.

āThe officer feared for his lifeā line that we can all so clearly see as a lie here is the same excuse used when cops shoot Black people. Itās worth considering why more people see the lie for what it is when the victim is white & the shooter is ICE, vs when the victim is Black & the shooter a cop.

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the otherās eyes. The grief in the survivorās voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

For too long, a badge has been a permission slip to commit murder. ICE agents. NYPD. Over and over and over again. It's all reckless state violence, and until the individuals and agencies face real consequences, it will not stop. NO MORE state-sanctioned murder.
