These people are certifiably insane. To be clear, they don't have the votes. It takes a two-thirds majority for an amendment to clear in both the House and the Senate. That's 287 House members and 66 Senate members. There are 220 Republicans in the House, and I strongly doubt all of them would vote for this to pass. Likewise, there are only 53 Republicans in the Senate. This will die at the first hurdle. If, by some wild what-the-fuck it managed to get through--which to be clear cannot mathematically happen right now, because no Democrat will vote for this--it would also have to get three-quarters of states to vote for it. That means if thirteen states say no, it fails. And they've tied this specifically to Trump, which means even some red states will say no because he's become such poison only four days into his term. But just the fact they're trying it should alarm you. VOTE THE BASTARDS OUT IN 2026.

Now comes the Putin payback: destroying and betraying America. The gutting of excellence.

All of this has negative repercussions. There is not one positive. We all die because the MAGA electorate is indoctrinated.

It's incredibly frustrating that you'll have an org like the ADL defend Elon doing a nazi salute once and leftists will call for their boycott yet UNRWA get to employ multiple members of terrorist organizations and those members have personally participated in attacking, raping and killing jews and also is found to have hostages kept in UNRWA camps yet boycotting them is bad.

By the way, for anyone wondering how you get involved in your local community: Like this.

Depending on their schedules, three of us will be meeting this weekend for the first time.

"What if they don't like me?" Then you try again with different people.

"I have nowhere to meet!" Libraries. Parks. Cafes. Your living room.

"I'm too scared!" And the longer you stay scared, the harder it will be. If you're so anxious you literally can't leave your house for a cup of coffee you need psychiatric help, not a Tumblr post, because that is not normal.

If you want community, MAKE IT. It's as simple as asking a question on Nextdoor. I did.

I still can't quite wrap my head around Queer having zero BAFTA and Oscar nominations. Daniel Craig AND Drew Starkey's performances, Jonathan Anderson's costuming, the score by Reznor and Ross, and NOTHING?

the thing i want people to absorb into their brains for the next four years is that antisemitism is a conspiracy theory that takes many different forms and can look very different depending on who the person is.

elon musk (and his ilk) see jews as powerful and dangerous and elusive. he wants to pander to us for that very reason, hence his hatred of palestinians and his visiting israel etc. he sees us as threat to whiteness but he also fears our “power.”

aoc and her crew see us TOO powerful and, through the contemporary lens of human rights, view jews as oppressors in the oppressor versus oppressed binary. hence her refusal to condemn antisemitism on the left but her obsessed with pointing it out on the right and crying “nazis!” she sees us as a threat to the binary that her and other leftists are obsessed with viewing the world through.

the two of them still subscribe to the same conspiracy theory. how they understand it and how they act on it is based on their worldview more broadly.

it’s all the same. stop comparing or weighing which is better or worse. antisemitism is antisemitism. call it out and don’t let it slide whenever, wherever.
