@gavinmuellerphd this is great, and helpful thx!

@bungarsargon batya, when did you decide to make a career out of saying things you know to be untrue? i hope you have a good analyst.

My fellow American Jews: It's time to have a little self respect and walk away from a party that's telling your children they can't be vice president because the antisemites in the party must not be upset.

The @TheBabylonBee got it right: VP Harris has chosen Tim Walz as her running mate. It's a dark day for American Jews. There was only one reason to have passed over Josh Shapiro: The Democrats would rather lose with antisemitic progressives than win with moderate normies.

@Eve_Barlow “rat tunnels”? Are you aware “rats” is an antisemitic trope you are deploying against Palestinians? (Can you recognize the existence of Palestinians or as anything other than “terrorists” - or “rats”?) From a grandchild of Holocaust survivors : Learn from history please.

This is the most cost efficient way for Hamas to get what they want. They get to sit in their rat tunnels and let their civilians die, while Western progressives terrorize Jewish and marginalized people on their behalf. Anyone protecting civil liberties and holding on to the meaning of words are fodder for the pyre that they're building upon which to implode Western values and civilization.

in which they failed to defend crucial values of academic freedom, the police action seems like capitulation to forces outside the university that would like to curtail academic freedom and freedom of expression. (10/16)

Third, the decision to call the police into campus violated also the important principle of protecting free expression on campus. Coupled with the testimony given by the President Shafik and members of the Board of Trustees in Congress, (9/16)

As quoted in the Columbia Spectator, the NYPD Chief asserted that “the students that were arrested were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner.” (5/16)

@medieninitiativ fantastic!

So this happened today…

@gem_neves exciting!

@bungarsargon Absolutely craven misquotation, Batya. What happened to you?

I simply cannot fathom the moral rot in someone's soul that leads them to win an award for a movie about the Holocaust and with the platform given to them, to accept that award by saying, "We stand here as men who refute their Jewishness."
