“Section 14 of the Press Law ordered editors ‘to keep out of the newspapers anything which…tends to weaken the strength of the German Reich, outwardly or inwardly.’”

- William Shirer, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, p. 405

"antisemitism and other forms of discrimination" lol even under these circumstances they can't quite bring themselves to say words like "racism" and "misogyny" out loud. when you're definitely beating the allegations

It’s hard to blame woke DEI when the military is losing a war because of the straits.

Andy Thomson wins his election to be the first Democratic mayor of Boca Raton in over 30 years.

He won by just one vote.

I feel like it should be more widely unpopular that in the past year we’ve witnessed the creation of an American Stasi required to meet arrest quotas who utilize an AI technology created by a company run by a sweaty raisin of a billionaire who thinks Greta Thunberg is the antichrist.

I’ve never related to something he’s said so much. I’d very much like to be unencumbered from all things Bibi, too.

Also see: press release – Welch, Jacobs Introduce Bicameral Bill Demanding Accountability for Hind Rajab, Palestinian Child Killed by Israeli Forces; one-pager on the bill; U.S. Lawmakers Introduce Hind Rajab Accountability Bill (Exclusive) (The Hollywood Reporter 3/12/26)

Proud to see that the JUSTICE FOR HIND RAJAB ACT has been introduced by Welch and Van Hollen in the Senate as well as by Jacobs and Castro in the House.

It demands a full federal accounting and investigation, to be reported to Congress, on the murder of innocent civilians in Gaza by the Israelis.

Woman killed in crash with Tesla near Dunlap identified Authorities have identified 34-year-old Misty Lynn as the woman killed in a DUI crash in Fresno County, which also involved two small children.

The amount of anecdotal evidence of people using Tesla Autopilot/FSD specifically to make driving while drunk/intoxicated easier is absolutely shocking.

Dire Strait: Trump’s Fox Cabinet ignored Hormuz in the month before the U.S. attacked Iran

President Trump's Fox News advisers utterly ignored the possibility that Iran could respond to an attack by closing the Strait of Hormuz as they urged him to go to war last month. www.mediamatters.org/us-iran-rela...

let's use the destroy the environment machine to ask if we're doing a good job at preventing climate collapse

issuing a correction: from anecdotal evidence/personal experiences with humanity, i am witnessing an increasing number of people come to the conclusion that the worst thing in the world may actually be having to admit you were wrong, period

truth still hasn't put its pants on and people these days are less likely to reevaluate new information that contradicts their previously preconceived notions because the worst thing in the world is to admit you were wrong on the internet, apparently

plus i mean we're on social media... people often share these things without even reading the article and start jumping to wild conclusions (i am certainly no exception)

maybe these commentators are just misinformed themselves and not maliciously spreading misinformation but it doesn't matter

it would be more responsible of the media to determine whether the fbi etc have published the info on how they determine whether something is an antisemitic hate crime & to inform the readers of the criteria, but even if they did, the screenshot doesn't have that info & i don't have the article link

even i am guilty of looking at this and thinking, "well, the data was from the fbi, pew, gallup, etc and i know the adl and the fbi had a partnership so it's possible that the fbi considered 'free palestine' to be an antisemitic hate crime"

it's not about the stats specifically in the post, it's more that the adl and similar orgs have pushed that anti-zionism=antisemitism so much that some people automatically assume a significant number of antisemitic hate crimes are not, in fact, actually credible antisemitic hate crimes

the conservative movement is allowing kitniyot so why shouldn't i? free the taco!

radicalized judaism (eating nachos and sushi on passover like god intended)

putting lentils and rice on the seder plate to commemorate ashkenazi masochism

this passover when you speak about freedom, don't forget to free the legumes

i used "against" instead of "for" and "first" instead of "last" and i almost immediately realized my mistake each time but idk if this is a phenomenon with a specific name or just fits under the category of misspeaking

is there a word for when you accidentally keep using a word that means the opposite of your intended meaning (because you are very tired)
or is it just a form of aphasia

i get the feeling this is not the last time i will use this image

Four arrested for Rotterdam synagogue arson; Suspects caught near another synagogue The police arrested four suspects for an explosion and fire at a synagogue on A.B.N. Davidsplein in Rotterdam early Friday morning. The suspects were caught near another synagogue, the police reported...

Sigh. Synagogue firebombed in the Netherlands. Four suspects arrested outside another synagogue which was presumably their next target.

google is of no help. chat, is Noah Wyle related to that mischievous coyote who wants to kill fast bird?

Ash crystal asks "ok but what's up with the blue-footed booby?" and CBC docs replies "it has blue feet, hope this helps"

CBC is releasing a doc about the push to update eponymous bird names and they're going off in the Instagram comments for one of the clips

It might be helpful in fact for the head of our country's most prominent antisemitism watchdog to not imply that the Jewish people are the Jewish state as we are trying to explain that attacking Jewish institutions in response to Israel's actions is wrong.

I do not think that conflating the Jewish people and the Jewish state is responsible at this juncture.

probably one for the blocklists, folks

but what *you're* showing fits *your* narrative that most american jews want war in iran
you're believing a single poll from a single, highly biased organization and then deciding that means jews are bloodthirsty warmongerers instead of thinking critically
