The democrats who care about antisemitism are the ones who are calling it out when it comes from their team. See: John Fetterman and chuck Schumer for examples. I have yet to find a professional Republican who can manage to call it out when it comes from his or her team. And this is the litmus test I'm using to determine who cares about antisemitism and who's just using it as a political opportunity.

May it be the best of lunches.

Mmmm coffee. The nectar of the gods.

Happy birthday. I hope you enjoy the upgrade and that no hotfixes are needed.

@dukepaaron @littlemiao @8124 Wait can I swear loyalty to the mitpachat? I mean it wasn't part of my conversion or anything but just as extra insurance or something. Good Lord these frickin people.

Yeah same, but it's always nice to have proof from one of their own publications.

@serge That's assuming you can have children. If not, I'm not sure what happens but I'm sure it's not going to be good.

And php lines. And java lines.

@e Do I want to ask?

To make this more concrete: As a Jew, I can absolutely pretend that people like Stefanik performing their allyship role mean it, and jump on their bandwagon in response. As a woman, the consequences of that will be less rights, as a Jew it will mean less religious freedom, and as a totally blind person it will mean a less and less accessible society. Spoiler alert: It's already pretty bad. Leftwing antisemitism absolutely sucks, and I don't think we should let it stand. But I have no intention of biting off my nose to spite my face when the result is all the bad stuff I mentioned plus I still have to deal with antisemitism, just the rightwing variety.

I don't have a silver bullet for disappearing antisemitism, but I know that strategy shouldn't involve helping the Republicans throw everyone but straight white abled males under the bus and establish a Christian theocracy in which Jews will be allowed to live as second-class citizens at best.
