Democrats have a choice to make.

It’s very clear the fringe of our party is going to try to tap into the world’s oldest hate, antisemitism, and make being anti-Israel a central part of being a Democrat.

And it’s going to work to some degree. I don’t get it, but a lot of people hate Jews. So the temptation is going to be to look the other way and not police our fringe, because they’re going to be speaking moralistic terms, and they’re going to be bringing in new voters.

It’s an obvious point, but this is exactly what Trump did with MAGA. The Republican establishment lost their party. We will lose ours.

So this is the choice. Fight this battle now or the Democratic Party dies. I never thought the vehicle for Jew hate would be my own party, but it very clearly is.

For days, Israel and the US have been waiting for Hamas to accept the ceasefire deal.

So why isn’t the Free Palestine crowd putting pressure on Hamas to say yes? Why the silence?

Because it was never about helping Palestinians or ending the war. It was always about hating Jews.

@XianJaneway @Donut_Geek Man, I needed this.

@_nomadic_soul I'll be honest. I hope she is waiting to say something substantive, but the lack of communication doesn't exactly project leadership.

[Meg @_nomadic_soul]

You guys, a lot of votes haven’t been counted yet.

In 2020, Biden got 81M, Trump got 74M.

Right now, Harris has 66M and Trump has 71M.

There are 161M registered voters in 2024 and we hear it was a large turn out.

Something’s not adding up.

In “Understanding Spiritual Abuse: What It Is and How to Respond” by @KarenRoudkovski , I found this statistic:

In a self-reported survey, 79% of SBC pastors claimed to have experienced spiritual abuse.

I wanted to know from where. Who was doing the abusing? So I asked her.🧵

@XianJaneway One of my favorites! It's good all the way through the end so don't stop!

[Chris Knobil @CKnobil]

@XianJaneway Sorry you're having to bear all of that. If he can make more money then I hope he goes for it! The inflation lately really sucks. We went from "making it ok" to pretty much drowning all the time. I would make a career change in a heartbeat if it made more money.

[Chris Knobil @CKnobil]

@XianJaneway Wow! That is impressive

[Chris Knobil @CKnobil]

@XianJaneway We had some brief encounters with Young Living, Norwex, and Usborne books. Also Lilla Rose - my wife liked the product, but the atmosphere was so cult-like. The leaders could never be criticized, even to suggest improvement or bring up problems.

[Chris Knobil @CKnobil]

This is insane! I didn’t see any examples when I voted early yesterday, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

[Haters_gonna_hate @princess_kim_k]

Due to our posts encouraging women to vote how they want and not let their husbands see…

Husbands are allowed to now be in the SAME VOTING BOOTHS as their WIVES in NC!

This is NOT OK!

@XianJaneway I can’t believe I somehow missed this list from you. Some of this I knew, but some of it I still didn’t!

[Eylon Levy @EylonALevy]

You demand a ceasefire. We demand peace or the destruction of our enemies’ abilities to wage war on us.

This war can’t end with Iran’s proxy armies still able to do this whenever they want.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

You can never-EVER-blame Jews for the hatred we face.

Antisemitism isn’t caused by what we do—there’s no excuse for spreading hate against any group of people, no matter what.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

Israelis and Palestinians are human beings—not pawns in global politics.

We deserve peace, and that starts with the world seeing us for who we are: people, not pieces in someone else’s game.

[Hen Mazzig @HenMazzig]

This isn’t the content I ever want to post. But with people around the world celebrating the horror of October 7th, my heart breaks for the families who may never recover. The families still waiting for loved ones, held captive for over a year in Gaza. Families shattered forever.

Today is about them.

On #October7 2023, Hamas terrorists hunted down partygoers at a music festival—and promised to do it "again and again." We are fighting so they can't.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

Please be wise about the things you choose to believe and share. If it stokes malice and hatred in your heart towards other people, chances are it was meant to do that rather than be truthful. Please be diligent in seeking out the truth.
