This is my favorite Jewish space laser

[Rabbi Lenette @lennyleia99]

It's universal, doesn't lean on a flawed "American way" that never actually included all people (including the ones who created Superman)...and, it's more Jewish. I'm in.

[Rabbi Lenette @lennyleia99]

Thrilled to see @JimLee at #DCFanDome announcing a brand new motto for #Superman: "Truth, justice, and a better tomorrow."

[Rabbi Lenette @lennyleia99]

@hey_alma I'm very excited! But, Albert Rothstein aka Atom Smasher was created in 1983, so not quite more than 40 years. Also, the book is coming out on Rosh Hashanah, which I think deserves some attention. That's really...not great.

So all you whiny boys complaining about “woke Cap?” He’s always been this way. Go read a comic.

[Rabbi Lenette @lennyleia99]

Captain America was created by first generation Jewish immigrants, Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. They weren’t considered American enough for the American dream.

And clearly none of you read Civil War, in which Steve doesn’t think superheroes should register with the government because…get this…he doesn’t trust the government

Y'all really need to be reading cosmoknights its like chicken soup for the soul but the chicken is a bunch of hot, charming lesbians in space and the broth is exquisite color work

[Rabbi Lenette @lennyleia99]

I'm thinking about kippah. A colleague expressed his frustration that us white Jews have the privilege to hide our minority status, while people of color do not. Kippah as an act of defying this privilege. This really struck a chord. Does anyone else wear kippah for this reason?

[Rabbi Lenette @lennyleia99]

@TheSinsOfCinema @ImageComics I hope we’ll get a response from Hickman, as you said it may have been one or two inadvertent connections. If so, I hope he does some more learning and repair. No one is perfectly woke. But I’ve also heard from Jews that it was so bad they couldn’t finish it.

[Rabbi Lenette @lennyleia99]

Since learning about the "Black Monday Murders" comics by Jonathan Hickman I will no longer read Hickman comics. Which is a shame, I really liked Dawn of X. But I won't read an author who writes unabashedly antisemitic comics about the Rothschild family. https://t.co/C4EK7mkr51

[Rabbi Lenette @lennyleia99]

@TheSinsOfCinema @ImageComics That’s what I’ve seen, those are also antisemitic tropes. And bringing in Judas references the oldest form of Jewish hatred, the lie that Jews killed Jesus. Trust Jews when our alarm bells go off. https://t.co/6RZGdbdvoJ

[Rabbi Lenette @lennyleia99]

Just in case @ImageComics and @Marvel you need a reminder, Hickman says the Rothschild family are in charge of the world's financial wealth, which is an antisemitic conspiracy for over a century. He even ties it in to Judas and "purebloods." Comics were STARTED BY JEWS.

“We offer our solidarity to the broader African American community, including Black Jews and Jews of color. Additionally, we pledge to be part of the difficult, but necessary work of repairing the relationship between the police and those they are entrusted to protect and serve.”

[Rabbi Lenette @lennyleia99]

Rest in Power, George Floyd.
I hope we now turn to the police departments in our own cities who must also be held accountable. In central Ohio, I will fight for justice for Casey Goodson Jr and André Hill.
White silence is compliance. Stay loud.
