Last night, no one at
@MIT
had a good night’s sleep.
Yesterday evening, shortly after I posted that we were launching a plagiarism review of all current MIT faculty, President Kornbluth, members of MIT’s administration, and its board, I am sure that an audible collective gasp
Y’all better leave this baby alone for loving his people and wanting to feel safe. This kid has more bravery in his little finger than most of you will ever have
I have no sympathy for her. I worked full time and attended college full time and paid off campus rent like so many others.
Being hateful has consequences. She’s not college ready until she understands that.
An NYU student who tore down posters of Israeli hostages complains that she's been suspended from school, had her scholarship rescinded, and will be kicked out of campus dorms next semester.
Two things can be true:
Claudine Gay messed up big time and needed to step down.
The right weaponized her mistake to target a high-ranking Black woman.
A third thing is also true:
The Far Left dancing with antisemitism is directly responsible for it.
Do better, leftists.
Don’t protest places of worship. One thing Black churches and Synagogues have in common is being victims of domestic terrorism.
This isn’t a game. Don’t play with people’s safety.
Black Folks: Jewish people are not white. Otherwise actual white folks would not be trying to recruit you to harm Jewish folks.
Unpack your antisemitism and find a way to help Palestinians that doesn’t involve hatred against Jewish people.
I’m voting for Biden so I really don’t care about the ongoing feud, BUT if I was stupid enough to believe that someone could find the money to pay everyone’s Student Loans, I’d believe the Billionaire, not the guy who hasn’t been able to enact any of his decades old plans
Voting for Biden isn’t about pretending he’s perfect. Voting for Biden is recognizing that as adults we have a solemn responsibility to deliver the most resounding win against Trump to get kids out of cages. Stop crying about inspiration and start buckling down on saving kids.
I was raised Muslim and some of liberal America worked SO HARD post 9/11 against unfair demonization of Muslims as terrorists l. Seeing yte kids today embrace literal terrorist groups and rhetoric hurts my heart so much and undoes decades of work.
Surprise, surprise, they’ve jumped from anti-Semitism to anti-Blackness. A Black woman punched in the face and reports of the N-word being used.
This isn’t the last time these “protesters” will harm Black women, mark my words.
But tell me again how hate helps Palestinians?
Oh my god this is a game changer. I can’t tell you how many times I CRIED in my early working years because my account was hundreds of dollars in the negative for being three dollars short
BREAKING: The Biden administration is ending bank overdraft fees as we know them.
Under a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau rule, overdraft fees at large banks will be strictly regulated and capped as low as $3. Low-income Americans will save billions.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been offered the role of James Bond, taking over from Daniel Craig, The Sun reports.
He is expected to sign the contract in the next few days.
I grew up in a Muslim family and community and I assure you that you're not doing any of them or Palestinians any favors by pretending Hamas are "freedom fighters" instead of the bloodthirsty terrorists they are.
The
@nytimes
is trying to force
@KamalaHarris
out of the race before the early states because they know if she places even moderately well they can lose control of the narrative. But Black Women have Kamala’s back. Donating again.
Sincere question: you’re at a protest, you truly want peace, 🕊️ you look around and see people waving Hamas flags, shouting violent slogans and being antisemitic.
How do you not think “these are not my people” and immediately bounce?
Imagine if these fuckwits had been raising money or volunteering, or phone banking and calling their elected officials.
Instead, they’re just playing in traffic
Sick of these Pro-Palestinian fauxgressives trying to bully Black people into not voting for Biden and joining them in antisemitism. We will never give in to your gaslighting
People angry at Kamala’s education plan are angry that the government might give poor kids an optional luxury that rich kids already have at well-funded schools.
#Kamala2020
When asked about why there hasn’t been more outrage about Hamas’s rape of Israeli women Rep Jayapal says sexual violence should be condemned but “we have to be balanced” in our condemnation.
My theory is that these kids fantasize about revolution because they want to be valorized. They want to be leaders without doing the work or sacrifice.
Real revolution isn’t built on hate.
Real revolutionaries plan ahead and remember to pack lunches
Black folks: you CANNOT afford to get caught up in this antisemitic domestic terrorism like these privileged white kids. The will lock you up and throw away the key while Chelsea gets bail and a job at daddy’s firm.
The average American wants the war in Gaza to end, Hamas destroyed, the hostages returned, aid provided to Palestinians, and Biden reelected.
We do not want to associate with unhinged Pro-Pal activists, hurt Jewish neighbors, or use Zionist as a slur.
We are the majority.
And this is why poor, Black and Brown kids need to stop following these brats. When they’re arrested, they have access to $ and connections to get out and expunged. Your azz will rot in jail and catch a felony and still won’t change the Middle East.
They will NOT help you out.
On the students arrested at Columbia: “A Post deep-dive into the backgrounds of the protesters shows many list multimillion-dollar mansions as their home addresses, according to arrest records, and come from wealthy and powerful families.”
I’m not jumping onto this AOC redemption bandwagon until she writes a bill, tells the Squad to jump into a lake, and says nice things about Biden without vomiting in her mouth
Do you all realize that if we had done two months of hardcore quarantine and contact tracing we could have had this almost completely eliminated and bounced back to normal by now?
Stop saying protestors are “calling for peace.” They’re calling for Intifada and a hostile takeover of Israel “from the river to the sea” and saying Hamas and 10/7 were justified.
They don’t want peace, they want Israel to be taken over.
Their words.
They want more war.
There’s a concerted effort to collapse the Democratic Big Tent by alienating and separating our core constituencies. Jewish voters, Black women, Black men… each have come under attack since 2016. The threats to not vote Blue, the gripes
As the child of Muslim parents, I really do not understand Americans who think it's cool to root for Hamas. The aftermath of 9/11 was horrific to Muslims. Celebrating Hamas slaughtering innocents and conflating it with Palestinian liberation is a grave mistake with consequences.
I am concerned that the celebration of Hamas will have a long-lasting augmentative effect on islamophobia in the West. White westerners are already too able to turn a numbed eye to civilian death in the Middle East. I fear associating Palestinians w/ terrorism will worsen this.
The scene at Hillcrest High School in Queens as a Jewish teacher hid in her locked office for hours while students demanded she be fired for attending a pro-Israel rally.
Biden just told Hillary Clinton that he would much rather be supporting her re-election bid and I almost completely lost it. Even Biden knows that none of us want to be here with him as President. He’s simply holding the front line and preparing to pass the torch.
#StillWithHer
WATCH: A San Francisco Jewish man bravely shares his experiences with antisemitism after losing five family members at Kibbutz Be'eri, including two kidnapped by Hamas, only to be met with boos and jeers from anti-Israel activists.
She is SO smart and we don’t deserve her! She so succinctly explains why a ceasefire isn’t useful, why Hamas must be destroyed now, and that there is actually hope for peace in the region. May cooler heads like hers prevail!!!
Hillary Clinton on the Israelis and the Palestinians today on The View.
Covers everything from Hamas to humanitarian pauses to Yasser Arafat to Anwar Sadat.
As a Black woman I’m never going to be chill with marching next to a Klan member. Why are these protestors chill with marching next to antisemites and Hamas supporters?
Because they tacitly approve.
i think there are two bullshit narratives going on: one that there is zero antisemitism ever expressed at these protests and that's just an establishment lie, and two, that there's some kind of modern day nazi rally going on at columbia and woke SA troopers are after jews
Serious question: are NONE of the protesters who are speaking on TV majoring in Middle Eastern Studies? Because NARY A SINGLE ONE HAS THE RANGE. Their answers are canned soundbites and they’re a deer in headlights when confronted with BASIC questions!
Just want to give a shoutout to all my peeps who:
Have compassion for Israelis and Palestinians
Are Americans who vote Dem every election
Share cat, puppy, baby, and other cute animal pics to break up the bleakness of this moment!
How much money has been wasted on Door Dash, tents, keffiyehs, signs, glitter and now legal fees that could have been spent on Gazan families who will need medical aid and to rebuild?
PRIVILEGED YTE KIDS RUIN MOVEMENTS BY CENTERING THEMSELVES.
Reporter grills Columbia student after she demands the university help feed protestors occupying Hamilton Hall:
"It seems like you're saying, 'we want to be revolutionaries, we want to take over this building, now would you please bring us some food'."
People are trying to cancel Abbott Elementary because some of them support Israel’s right to exist???
I’m behind on the show and this just motivated me to catch up on it!
We’re not cancelling a successful Black show for your goofy asses.
I am standing with my Jewish friends and family against the rampant antisemitism in this country. We will not let America become a place that turns its back on Jewish people here or in Israel. 🇮🇱💙🇺🇸
Dozens of protesters who halted traffic on the Bay Bridge to call for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war are now asking the district attorney to drop the charges against them.
The erasure of
@KamalaHarris
is one of the most blatant thumb-on-the-scale actions I’ve ever seen from the corporate media and the average white person
Apropos of nothing, I feel like a whole lot of people don’t know that Muslims have done a metric crap-ton of colonizing.
This isn’t a political statement, it’s just history.
Lots of cultures have colonized obvs, but they have done exceptionally well.
Just FYI
It’s exhausting having people born after my first Mammogram try to lecture me on the Middle East as if I haven’t been reading the newspaper since the days black and white wooden TV’s were common in everyone’s houses.
Oh wow, everything is going to change now because MINNEAPOLIS PASSED A RESOLUTION!!! DID YOU HEAR THAT EVERYBODY IN THE MIDDLE EAST? MINNEAPOLIS VOTED, STOP THE PRESSES!!!🙃🙃🙃
BREAKING: Minneapolis ceasefire resolution that calls for the end of aid to Israel PASSES WITH VETO PROOF MAJORITY!
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
This is HUGE.
White Progressives have some nerve talking about other people being colonizers when they colonize EVERYBODY ELSE'S movement and center themselves.
Suddenly we're not talking about Black Maternal Health, we're talking about Capitalism and how Dustin needs his UCLA loans forgiven
I don’t want to hear SHIT about colonizing or Israel needing to give up land from Progressives if you aren’t currently on a plane back to live in the country your ancestors came from.
Israelis are indigenous to Israel, your people aren’t from Rochester, dickhead
Can we not trivialize homelessness by calling the daughter of a well-to-do congresswoman with endless connections “homeless” because she got kicked out of school for her own foolishness?
She will be sleeping in a spare bedroom in someone’s mansion or condo tonight I am sure.
When Isra Hirsi, the daughter of U.S. Rep. Ilhan Omar, joined several of her classmates in a pro-Palestinian campus protest known as the Gaza encampment, she had no idea she would end up suspended, homeless, and left without food within a matter of days.
It’s my birthday!!! Thank you for everyone on this site who has helped to renew my faith in humanity this past month! To my old friends and new, I appreciate every single one of you and let’s keep coming together for justice!!!💕💕💕💕💕💕
Cardi B is a millionaire and likes Republican tax breaks on her income. The rest of us aren’t. Don’t let her convince you to help out her income at the expense of your own.
WATCH: protestors try to disrupt Biden speech at Mother Emanuel church shouting “ceasefire now” but get massively drowned out by chants of “4 more years.”
Biden handles the situation with grace & empathy as usual, explaining the work he is doing to reduce Israeli forces in Gaza.
An "11-year-old" Muslim girl with her family walked over to me in Times Square and told me to kill myself because I’m a Jew. I am not making this up. You must watch this. They then had their small child kick me to humiliate me whole their daughter continued to say that I should
The more I hear from hardline pro-Palestinians, the sadder I get. By chasing the pipe dream of having all of Israel, they are more willing to die than compromise.
You can’t make hoping other people die your reason to live.
The dream of having all of Israel is toxic
I’m not sure anyone appreciates the deep well of anger among HRC supporters at watching Warren stab HRC in the back, fail to support Kamala, then watch Warrenstans cry and expect sympathy when they had none for other women
#WhiteFeminism
I’m not sure anyone appreciates the deep well of anger and pain among Warren supporters—many of whom are the women whose activism drove 2018—listening to experts write off Elizabeth Warren’s campaign.
Now that I've seen left-wing Fauxgressives sail in and hijack other social justice movements repeatedly, I'm realizing some things. Young liberal white men are no different than other men - they have issues with toxic masculinity, including violence
"Another penetrated her, Sapir said, and every time she flinched, he plunged a knife into her back. he said she then watched another woman “shredded into pieces.” While one terrorist raped her, she said, another pulled out a box cutter and sliced off her breast."
AOC on likelihood of M4A getting passed: “The worst-case scenario? We compromise deeply and we end up getting a public option. Is that a nightmare? I don’t think so,” she said. (H/t

If Bernie’s arrogant ass would just fucking concede gracefully people wouldn’t be put at risk to go vote in a primary that is basically over. But his vanity campaign has never been about what is best for the people in 2016 or in 2020 now has it been? 🙃
