@AlliFlowers @Bam @judah Just to add to this thread, I completely understand where dukepaaron is coming from with regard to Twitter, and I also completely understand everyone who left because Elon and the people he platforms. I left for the same reasons. Well, that, and he fired the entire accessibility team. I also agree with dukepaaron that the fediverse is absolute hot garbage when it comes to antisemitism, and the constant need to block, especially people who used to be awesome until they took the damn mask off, has me feeling all kinds of not pleasant feelings. Fortunately there's bird.makeup, which lets us bring over the Twitter accounts we used to love to read, and while we can't do a massive Jewport with it, we can use it to make our home timelines a bit more bearable. With all of that said though, the fediverse is my last social media stop. If things get to a point where they're intolerable here despite mitigation steps, I'm out.

@dukepaaron This law codifies the Trump executive order I believe, which is basically Congress's way of ensuring that a not Trump president can't just reverse it with another executive order. It's also probably not going to do much in the way of anything actually practical on behalf of Jews facing problems of antisemitism on campus, assuming it passes the senate. Which, in this climate, I'll be surprised if it doesn't.

@blobcat Yeah people are basically passing this off as a genie.

@blobcat True, but it's still kind of humorous that this is being passed off as some new shiny awesome thing. Kind of like how iPhones are surrounded by a ton of hype still until you strip away the appearance of "magic".

@hauntedhideaway @imstilljeremy Sending all the hugs. 👁

Probably not.

A beer.

Yes they should have.

Spoiler alert: It will not. 👁

@8124 Don't give them any ideas. I'm sure some of them would love to say this out loud.

Well yes I would like that too, but I'll take what I can get.

And let me guess. The campus protesters couldn't care less.

You should be able to use bird.makeup to pull it into your feed.

Oh man that's tough. 👁

To be totally honest, especially after this latest round of antisemites taking off all the masks, I'd suggest unfollowing. Because however famous that person is their content is not worth it. Same with that employer. 👁

@hauntedhideaway Dude they are never toning down the hot takes.

@SheDevil1978 This likely means that UI automation isn't being implemented properly in this app, and so there's not really an easy way around this.

@richard_merren @lolgop Yeah I'm thinking of those lefties but there are too many ad-hoc groups to list them all. The original point of the post I boosted though was specifically not to let the fact that there's definitely opportunism on the Republican side detract from the fact that a bunch of leftists really are demonstrating that they have a nazi bar problem, as the saying goes.

@SheDevil1978 You mean that eoji/special characters screen?

@richard_merren @lolgop Republicans and democrats aren't homogenous ideological blocks, and support for Israel isn't necessarily an indicator that a party doesn't have its own antisemite problem. There are plenty of Christians in the Republican party who support Israel because it fits into their end-times prophecies, for example, not because they care about anyone living there. Also, Republican leadership is absolutely taking advantage of all this because it's politically advantageous for them to do so. Not that a bunch of progressives haven't absolutely handed antisemitism to them on a silver platter.
