The sheer number of kids who are straight up putting their real names and ages and location in their bios like "Natasha | 14 | Minor | New York, NY!" and occasionally putting their actual school or city in their tags just terrifies me like no stop stop stop remove that right now I cannot emphasize how unsafe that is for you I am begging you for your sake remove thst shit right now
nyc dyke march literally put out a statement being like "people have been asking if jews are welcome at dyke march, the answer is yes, and we do not actively support antisemitism" and then 30 minutes later took it down and posted an apology message for the "harm" they caused with that statement and made sure to clarify that it was posted by like a rogue operative without the approval of the full board
It’s so obvious that some of the people on this website consider activism as a kind of performance. Nuance is out the window, the idea that their words could cause actual harm is shelved because they’re just “doing the right thing”. They throw around labels they don’t understand, recycle talking points they can’t begin to explain, and they feel good about themselves and that’s the part that matters to them.
Just tossing this here so non-jewish mutuals/followers are aware, since I think this isn't as well known: Jewish Voice for Peace is as representative of jews as Autism Speaks is of autistic people. That is to say - not at all.
To clarify, I do not disagree with the idea of jews fighting for.. well, peace. I am a big supporter of organizations like Standing Together which pushes for exactly that. The issue is that JVP just makes shit up, often misrepresents or totally messes up jewish tradition (like the time when they misspelled every single hebrew word on their passover plate), and is generally such a car crash that it would be a bad idea to take their comments on judaism at face value.
actually nuts that the US hasn’t had a female president yet
I hate to break it to you kids, but honey bees are invasive. They were brought to NA, they don't belong here. We don't need to save honey bees, we need to save our NATIVE bees. But native bees don't produce a humans commodity.
vegans making honey a bee labour issue is the funniest thing imaginable because like, you picked the one animal that has already unionised
“The opposition is nearing single digits at this point and establishment and moderate Republicans are proving just how meaningless those two descriptors have always been when applied to them. They are proving that the GOP ethos is absolutely clear: party—the MAGA party—over country. The assumption is that Jordan is promising them something, and that he will be able to deliver that something better than anyone else could. Yes, the same Jordan that former Speaker John Boehner called a “legislative terrorist.” The same Jordan who tried to overturn the 2020 election. The one who was on the phone with Donald Trump the morning of Jan. 6, 2021—mere hours before the MAGA mob attacked the Capitol, invaded their chamber, and threatened every member of Congress’s health and lives.”

‘Moderate’ House Republicans folding like cheap tents for insurrectionist Jordan’s speaker bid
There is no such thing as a “moderate” Republican.
