It took Uvalde police one hour and 14 minutes to end the massacre committed by one (1) gunman. Look how fast they run up on these unarmed college kids though.
Hundreds showed up to protest

Minneapolis city lakes are closing due to e. coli brought on by heat waves; the AQI will be in the 200-300s this weekend.
You can’t relocate your way out of the climate crisis, and a climate-resilient place doesn’t stay like that forever.
the fact that the catastrophic federal response to COVID now leaves our future in the hands of college students practicing responsible behavior is the fault of the fucking government
In 50 years opponents of BDS will be remembered like opponents of boycotts of apartheid South Africa. This jew is proud as hell to be represented by Ilhan.
This narrow conception of how to affect change - being polite, operating within the boundaries set by the dominant group, following rules - has never actually led to shit and is just used to tut-tut people who step out of line.
I'm thinking of the 800-1,000 palestinian children held in Israeli prison each year, including over 300 in prison right now, and wishing that american jewish institutions also gave a shit about them.
Seeing a presidential candidate like Bernie publicly and proudly wearing a yarmulke hours after antisemitic attacks during Hanukkah is just incredibly meaningful. He makes me proud to be Jewish. 🕎✨
My grandparents were Holocaust survivors who immigrated to Palestine in ‘48. I married a Jewish man and had a Jewish baby. I’ve worked in Jewish orgs for 10 yrs. That entire time, those in power have despaired the under-affiliation of young Jews while rejecting me and my peers
Seeing people with Jewish names participating in the pro-Hamas orgy of hate at Columbia reinforces everything I wrote back in November.
These people are simply no longer part of us.
If you're a non-jew with a laser focus on Jewish zionism and don't also protest the millions more Christian zionists in America maybe your problem is actually with Jews

In late March 2020, after a couple weeks of being at home 24/7, Ted stopped eating. We took him to the emergency vet and he pretty much told us Ted was stressed that we were suddenly around so much.
See a lot of people dunking on this but there are tens of thousands of east african immigrants and refugees living in israel who are treated like second class citizens and face a constant threat of deportation and they deserve dignity and respect too
Wow absolutely *shocking* women wouldn't publicly attach their names to interviews with lawyers when men like you are here to fucking smear and discredit them.
If you're repeating tired falsehoods about rape (why didn't she report it?) you need to take a deep look inward.
Moreover the report states clearly, "the allegations of sexual assault could be substantiated."
No one contacted the law firm that was paid to find dirt on RL, after repeated requests.
No one ever made a formal accusation of sexual assault against RL. And they found no evidence
Isi trying to get me to watch neon genesis evangelion: it’s the best anime of all time, a harrowing, violent exploration of love, evil, depression, trauma, and humanity
Me trying to get Isi to watch the vampire diaries: it is about vampire
One of the highlights of my college career was being assigned and then reading “Is Judaism Zionism” by Judith Butler my senior year. I felt like so much in my life began to make sense. What a pity future Jewish students may not have the same chance I did.

's speech opposing

funding:
"I cannot allow one of my colleagues to stand on the floor of the House of Representatives and label the Jewish democratic state of Israel an apartheid state."
AIPAC has become too moderate for Israel. The two-state solution is more dangerous than BDS. This letter by senior members of Netanyahu's Likud makes clear: US Jewish orgs who want to truly represent Israel must be pro-Israeli apartheid, nothing less.
I firmly believe No Labels-esque centrists don't exist outside of DC because people care about positive material change to their lives not bipartisanship!! Politics isn't a matter of aesthetic and decorum to most people!!!
Me when ppl asked for DC recs: Free museums are the only redeeming quality of this hellhole
Me when ppl ask for Mpls recs: We have a queer library down the street from an anarchist bookstore a short bike ride away from 6 lakes the river 14 coffee shops and 12 breweries
Think about this - written by a Gazan in Rafah right now - the next time a young third generation American Jew says these same words. Who has nowhere to go? Who is unsafe?
Greenblatt and his org are directly enriched when Jewish donors feel unsafe and so it is in his best interest to fearmonger and appeal to our community's worst instincts of self-isolation.
"Iran has their military proxies like Hezbollah, and Iran has their campus proxies like these groups, like Students for Justice in Palestine, Jewish Voice for Peace." -Jonathan Greenblatt, Anti-Defamation League
