A Michigan man was planning to shoot up a Jewish daycare, according to federal agents:
Hassan Chokr of Michigan drove into the parking lot of Temple Beth El, where he proceeded to scream antisemitic slurs and threats at the parents dropping their children off for daycare.
Immediately after, Chokr drove to a gun store and tried to purchase three semi-automatic weapons.
He made statements that “It ain’t a fair fight out here” but that he would “even the playing field real soon, brothers, real soon.”
Chokr also posted an expletive-filled post that claimed, “Your Jew tactics will only backfire on you, you have no place on this earth, Jew [expletive], Jew mother [expletives]. A storm is coming to wipe you all out of our lives.”
Is the antisemitism bad enough yet, or do you think the toddlers were being "Zionists?"
This is a delicate moment. It’s a new day and yet so many are on edge. Our politics are inflamed, and social media only adds to the anxiety.
It seems that @elonmusk made an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm, not a Nazi salute, but again, we appreciate that people are on edge.
In this moment, all sides should give one another a bit of grace, perhaps even the benefit of the doubt, and take a breath. This is a new beginning. Let’s hope for healing and work toward unity in the months and years ahead.
Media reports say San Antonio could be one of the cities targeted by Trump's immigration raids this week. No matter what, we know that:
1) You have basic rights (listed below).
2) Trump will say he's going after criminals. He's a liar. Texans need to look out for each other.
The ICE raids are set to begin.
Having an escape plan/safety plan/bug out plan will be extremely important.
The news will not provide it. We are on our own.
Here is a thread on what to do and what's ahead.
Please share, while we still can. And yes, it has happened here.
