Let’s do this:

Many people are comfortable throwing rocks at AIPAC. As a result, other people have spoken out about this type of rhetoric and how linking the discussion of $$$ and Jews controlling things is rife with antisemitism.

MANY Democrats and Republicans receive money from AIPAC. It is an American organization run by Americans which is a thing that happens.

Now I’m getting it in my replies from people who should know better. AIPAC doesn’t control the U.S. government. Cut it out.

Biden passed the biggest climate plan ever to reduce carbon pollution, created over 270,000 clean energy jobs and counting, enacted the first-ever U.S. drinking water limits on PFAs, and protected more than 41 million acres of public lands and waters so far.

Trump rolled back over 100 environmental protections, gave big oil a big tax cut, opposed addressing PFAs, and is the only president in history to expose more public lands than he protected.

A vote for Biden is a vote for climate progress.

Thanks, Governor Whitmer, for laying this out. She’s my governor and she’s amazing.

Demanding to cut ties with the Helen Diller Foundation, a charity that has given $1.1 billion to UC San Francisco to fund a comprehensive cancer treatment center in addition to other gifts to Berkeley and UC Santa Cruz and demanding to cut ties with Hillel may be within your right to free speech, but that free speech can definitely be called out and should be.

You may or may not want to waste 3 minutes of your life listening to Susan Sarandon and while I agree with her on points like people suffering unjustly is horrible (although I try to care about all of them, not just one segment), statements claiming one doesn’t need their family who abandoned them (not even sure that’s happening) and “we’re your family” are statements cult leaders make while brainwashing folks.

More than 100,000 immigrants from the DACA program will soon become eligible to receive federal health care coverage for the first time since DACA was implemented over a decade ago.

DACA beneficiaries had been barred from federally funded health insurance despite contributing billions in federal taxes to the nation’s federal health insurance system for years. Excellent news.

DACA recipients will be eligible for federal health care coverage under new Biden rule-

These wins give Dems back their trifecta in state government. #Michigan

“In 2022, Democrats won control of both houses of the Legislature for the first time in almost 40 years. With Gov. Gretchen Whitmer also romping to reelection, the party secured unified control of Michigan government and passed a slew abortion rights, gun reform, LGBTQ+ rights and pro-labor legislation last year.”

Democrats regain full control of state House with two special election wins:

I've been following this very weird post on my "unprotected" account. The one that sees all the racist, antisemitic, misogynist, homophobic shit the fediverse produces in the normal course of the day.

This shithead makes a set of easily verifiably false allegations to try to get rid of a single user account that catalogs antisemitic content in the fediverse.

I read every post the account ever made yesterday. No truth to this at all.

And it spawns conspiracy comments from other users including accusations that this is an Israeli state actor.

What happens when fediblock is misused to target an account that catalogs, with receipts, antisemitism?

Nothing?

Very strange place yall built here.

What's the difference between this and Shitter other than having fewer people of color and Jews?

I encourage everyone to follow @endantisemitism

You may disagree with it occasionally. You may know it gets it wrong occasionally.

What a great opportunity for healthy dialogue and understanding.

He and Kushner would plow over the Gaza Strip and profit off development plus do everything Netanyahu wants. Maybe time for a new slogan though if the right can easily co-opt yours.

Because a good President doesn’t just do things for the people who voted for him. A good President and administration does things that help everyone.

"Let people have nice things," inner-Alex murmurs into my ear as I scroll the morning timeline.

Sometimes it is nice to see someone enjoy something that doesn't make sense to you. I don't personally find benefits or enjoyment in things that are popular at the moment.

The moment is fleeting, seasonally things change, and soon we will go back to the "norm". Once that happens, they won't have anything to enjoy and that makes me slightly sad for them. When the eclipse or March madness or Superbowl season or tax season or new video game patch day occurs...I see many people blister and demand that others understand their personal discontent.

I'm not a fan either, but I tend to spend my energy focused on what I am a fan of. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I don't feel wrong. I feel like perhaps focusing on what you are interested in, is a good way to focus.

Not too dramatic here due to some cloud cover. #eclipse

Everyone’s still here. No raptures I could detect. Lots of people on the parking deck, though.

Crime is down overall. Way down. And undocumented immigrants aren’t committing crimes anywhere near the rate of U.S. citizens anyway.

Because facts matter despite what propaganda machines tell you.

“Trump's anecdotal accounts do not acknowledge the fact that U.S. citizens commit crimes at higher rates than undocumented immigrants.”

No, migrants are not driving a surge in violent crime as Trump claims -

If someone has positive things to say about Donald Trump, in comparison to anything anywhere, that person is a Trump supporter. It’s not questionable.
