a red triangle person, tolerant of bigotry?! I am shocked, shocked SHOCKED

Today on the Jewish Dem Download, we cover: - New polling on the Jewish vote - Election Day in Texas - Trump’s rampant corruption And more. Watch, share, and subscribe:

Only 24% of Jewish voters hold a favorable view of Donald Trump. A majority of Jewish voters believe Trump is antisemitic. The newest poll of Jewish voters is clear: We reject Donald Trump’s extremism, and we can and will make the difference for Democrats in the midterms.

He was horrible to and for trans people. He INVENTED the Bathroom Debate as an excuse to exclude trans people from his precious ENDA bill. He called us toxic and a drag ob The Movement. ENDA never passed until it included trans people. Barney Frank can rot in piss.

Carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. One of the many desserts being served at my home this Shavuot. Chag Sameach.

Love it when non-Jews explain Judaism to me

This is such an important point.

This is on Netanyahu.

Shabbat Shalom and Chag Sameach Shavout, my beloved friends! Exactly one year since my first visit to synagogue! 🕯💙🤍💙🕯 #JewCrew #JewSky

After reports of Legionnaires’ disease cases at Haven Plaza, my office has pressed @nychealthy.bsky.social and Wavecrest Management for expedited testing, full transparency regarding prior test results, and immediate accommodations for residents while water restrictions remain in place.

We are NOT okay. 😢

I've been saying this for decades. White cis-het men DO "vote for their interests". Their voting interest is white patriarchy. Not gas prices, eggs, jobs, or health care. They think there's already plenty ... if it's rationed by and reserved for them. We need to stop pretending.

When Judy Heumann was a little girl, New York public schools told her she couldn't attend because she used a wheelchair after surviving polio. Officials called her a "fire hazard." She was 5 years old the first time she was told she didn't belong. #EternalLight #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth 1/10

Sometimes a cigar is just Sigmund Freud's penis.

The Supreme Court just demolished the Voting Rights Act, the crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement. I traveled with my colleagues to Selma and Montgomery, Alabama - where Americans fought for our rights in 1965. We must mobilize, organize, and fix this. We are not going back.

To my white brothers & sisters: the GOP is using recent SCOTUS rulings to rob minorities of their voting rights. We must not regress to the days of Jim Crow. Write your Senators, representatives, and protest. We are all disenfranchised when any of us lose the right to vote.

This is true in the US as well. Elite opinion =/= public opinion.

Eventually every human loses their spine and wails about how THEY should get all the authoritarianism. Trust them, THEY know how to MAGA correctly

A thread... This has been a very painful week for ✡️ ppl. One of the most thorough researched reports on one worst days in ✡️ history was released on the planned use of sexual terrorism ny HAMAS & others. This followed a report on what's been named, kinocide. (links to both at the end of the 🧵)

Buying new shoelaces coz you only get new sneakers once a year years-old.

There will be people out there, who will defend this man, claiming he was "set-up" with the sting operation or a grown man having sex is not "that bad", because that is legal in England/Iran/Malta/Wherever... minnesotareformer.com/briefs/ex-se...

The atrocities committed by Hamas against Shani Louk are just one of many examples of sexual and gender-based violence carried out on October 7. Read more here: https://www.civilc.org/silenced-no-more

I was mildly surprised:

So, #Uber says: "Get 25% off Crissie!" Shouldn't they ask me before they put me on discount? 🤭

Men hate that women and especially teenage girls(*) can choose whether to have children. (*Most of the decline in birthrates is down to fewer teenage pregnancies.)

Shabbat Shalom, my beloved friends! 🕯💙🤍💙🕯 #JewCrew #JewSky

He wants to know if you’re watching #Dateline tonight. If not, he’s judging you as to why. 9/8c

Today in "neither our media nor our political system is designed to deal with a far right authoritarian party"

The president is negotiating against his own administration to shake down taxpayers for $10 billion. The corruption meter is flashing red and sounding the alarm. ca.news.yahoo.com/doj-consider...

This is a brilliant article: H/T @velveteenrabbi.bsky.social forward.com/opinion/8245...

This is utter horseshit. White patriarchy paved the way for Trump. Centuries of centering white men in every facet of American life. Then we elected a brilliant Black POTUS, and nominated a woman to follow ... and white men had an absolute shit fit. Stop blaming liberals for white male rage.

In late 1935, a Jewish woman in Berlin became the first woman formally ordained as a rabbi. Her name was Regina Jonas. She reached that milestone while Nazi Germany was already closing in around her. #EternalLight 1/10

Shabbat Shalom, my beloved friends! 🕯💙🤍💙🕯 #JewCrew #JewSky

Four months after Maduro's removal, what's changed in Venezuela? No elections. No transition. No accountability. Just more corrupt profits for the regime and Trump's wealthy donors while hundreds of political prisoners remain in jail.

In 1942, dozens of Jewish refugee children arrived in the small Italian town of Nonantola after fleeing Germany, Austria, and Yugoslavia. Most were teenagers. By then, many had already spent years moving from place to place, watching safe havens disappear one by one. #EternalLight 1/10

Yes, but more: There's a care provider and resource shortage. Because we keep cutting health care budgets. Not enough hospital beds. Not enough nursing home and rehab providers. Not enough hospital and nursing/rehab staff. Budgets matter.

You get a chance every day to show you’re not an awful human. Seize it. 🫶🏾

I bet you don’t think Democrats are doing anything, right? I mean that that’s what social media would convince you of . But I’m here to say that they are and a lot of it is really impressive, and you’re not hearing about it. I posted four of those stories this week! youtu.be/I71PWudqtTQ

Black, Jewish, and queer people understand Dems messaging ... but it's too high-brow for white people?

It's clear all the other candidates know who's leading this race! #BecerraForGovernor

Many people on this site are working really hard to discourage you from participating in the electoral process & voting. DO NOT LET THEM! Vote like your life depends on it. Encourage your family, friends & neighbors to vote. Tell them how important it is to vote. And then tell them again. And again

ALL OF THIS

“Stop funding forever wars. Start fully funding health care.” That’s not radical — that’s common sense. Trump & Republicans know exactly what they’re doing when they pick war over your insulin, your groceries, your life. We see it. We won’t forget it. #HealthcareNotWarfare

Not part of those statistics: ● Healthcare cuts force small and rural hospitals to close. ● Fewer remaining hospitals are overstretched, patients in hallways, etc. ● The cuts also force crises in rehab/nursing centers. Fewer providers, more patients, inadequate care. This isn't merely theory.

I will never forgive the looney left and Bernie Stans for allowing Black and Brown voters to be thrown under the bus. Never. Yep I said left & not GOP. I have always known the GOP is racist so I never considered them allies. Them other folks pretend to be allies. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

This is a corollary to my recent thread tearing apart a pro-Israel article for claiming, essentially, that any and all criticism of Israel is necessarily antisemitic. Here we reach the opposite end of the horseshoe: The claim that literal Nazi antisemitism is necessarily mere criticism of Israel.

It’s a good thing we aren’t nominating anyone to high office who has a Nazi insignia tattooed on their body. That would look pretty bad.

Good thing racism is over. www.mediamatters.org/benny-johnso...
