Guys we're going to need a version of the shot-chaser meme but for antisemitism because it's been a week since Musk endorsed virulent and unambiguous antisemitism again and all but maybe three of the people who spent the last month telling us we need moral clarity when it comes to leftwing antisemitism totally blew their latest opportunity to demonstrate said moral clarity. https://www.slowboring.com/p/business-leaders-are-ignoring-elon And spare me the argument about whose antisemitism is worse because the only people benefiting from that one are the people trying to minimize it when it comes from their team and I am done with all of them. #mazeldon

From the "It Was Never About Zionism" Dept., in partnership with the "I Can't Possibly Be Antisemitic Some Of My Best Friends Are Jewish" Dept.: “A bomb squad is called to a Satmar Hassidic synagogue in Lakewood, New Jersey after a grenade was found strapped to a utility pole nearby, according to local reports.”

Shavua tov #mazeldon I hope everyone had a restful and peaceful Shabbat, or if you'r not Jewish or not observant, a good day. I spent most of it sleeping because I really wasn't feeling good and now I'm sure my sleep schedule will take some work to get back on track. Which is something I should probably do for the family gathering this Thursday. We didn't end up making the chili today, but will do it tomorrow. We're just listening to an audio book and chilling. #today

Get in #fedizens we're most of the way through Thursday. Dad found John and I a reputable cleaning service, so our place received an excellent cleaning yesterday and we're now doing the blind find to find various bits of our stuff. We're working it out though. Also, we have the windows open and are enjoying the 64F/17C weather before the rain comes in tomorrow and it gets cold again. #today

If we're going to demand that leftwing activists remove antisemites from their spaces, it is imperative we do not invite them into specifically Jewish spaces. Even though a lot of us are feeling hurt and betrayed after the last month's uptick in antisemitism. We need to avoid even the appearance of creating common cause with people who will treat us like cheap dates by bribing us with support for Israel as a cover for not calling out their own team's antisemitism. #mazeldon https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/divisive-pastor-john-hagee-criticism-role-march-israel-rcna125346
