@SarahLongwell25 It doesn’t matter how good Dems getat messaging. They don’t have the same media ecosystem of propaganda repeating the stories over and over. The people who need to hear it won’t as it will never be covered on those networks or break through the social media feedback loops
@RachelBitecofer None of us are. We will still religiously vote for Dems at around 70% as long as they don’t have nazi or other antisemetic affiliations. If they do, people just won’t vote for that candidate. They won’t vote for the fascists.
@jebus311@tify330 Completely false. 89% of educator related statutory rape is committed by males. There are bad people in each gender but SA is overwhelmingly more likely to be committed by men.

@reesetheone1@HowardA_AtLaw I wasn’t sure between voting her or Stratton. Her anti Israel rhetoric and Pritzker endorsing Stratton pretty much put me over the edge to vote Stratton. Kelly was a front runner for me at first since she had the best resume but I soured in her when she started centering Gaza.
@trouble_man90 Same. Who does the party think they’ll have left when they ostracize black and Jewish people, Dems two most loyal voting blocks. Dems being racist lite won’t win back the racists from the GOP.
I’m so fucking sick of snark from people on here because I talk about Jew hatred a lot.
First, those who have followed me for a while know this has been a focus of mine for more than 10 years — it’s not something I suddenly picked up post–October 7.
My focus is largely on extremism, particularly in America, not on Israel, although I fully understand there’s crossover.
Second, people who say my focus on this is cringe, annoying, or stupid either don’t understand how serious this problem is — or they’re Jew haters themselves.
This is an urgent matter.
I wouldn’t spend this much time on it if it weren’t.
And despite what some people online seem to believe, it certainly isn’t lucrative or helpful to my career.
We know from decades of research that once someone adopts a fully developed antisemitic worldview, it becomes very, very difficult to deradicalize them — though not impossible.
I don’t want to lose more people to the abyss of Jew hatred.
As far as I’m concerned, this is existential.
When hatred of Jews becomes part of someone’s identity and worldview, it shapes how they understand everything: politics, morality, and even their sense of belonging.
Antisemitism operates differently from many other forms of hatred because it is conspiratorial in nature rather than simply prejudicial.
Conspiracy beliefs are self-sealing: evidence against them is interpreted as proof of the conspiracy itself.
People who adopt strong antisemitic views often move into social ecosystems that reinforce those beliefs: online communities, ideological networks, and political movements.
Antisemites also see their hatred as morally justified.
In their minds, they are defending civilization, fighting corruption, exposing hidden evil, and, as many of you learned recently, exposing child-killing pedophiles.
Once hatred becomes framed as a moral duty, deradicalization becomes far more difficult.
Antisemitism also “explains” everything to the Jew hater.
Because Jews are falsely framed as the hidden cause behind many unrelated problems, Jews become the grand explanatory theory for the world’s failures and for the failures and challenges people have personally.
People who criticize me or mock me ultimately don’t bother me.
But it is deeply annoying and concerning — particularly because they cannot even claim that I spend my time advocating for Israel or defending the decisions of the Israeli government.
So their issue is with Jews.
Ultimately, if you have a problem with me talking about this, you can kiss my Iranian ass.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
Jack Smith: "President Trump was charged because the evidence established that he willfully broke the law -- the very laws he took an oath to uphold. Grand juries in 2 separate districts reached this conclusion based on his actions. Rather than accept his defeat in the 2020, President Trump engaged in a criminal scheme to overturn the results and prevent the lawful transfer of power. After leaving office in January 2021, President Trump illegally kept classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago social club and repeatedly tried to obstruct justice to conceal his continued retention of those documents. Highly sensitive national security information was held in a ballroom and bathroom."
