The snowflakes still upset about #trans people after more than a century of research are irrational bigots and no better than the #Nazis who, in 1933 on #ThisDayInHistory shut down the #InstituteOfSexology and burnt its library.

The Jewish community of Albuquerque came out to support pro-Palestine protests for divestment from Israel at the University of New Mexico.

Blocking riding the coattails of the Palestine movement is getting to be a daily occurrence. Arguing Israeli actions are worse than those of Nazi fucking Germany while using the Untermenschen rhetoric of the fucking Nazis is far beyond the pale of tolerance.

Take a look at this person's flag choices. Ask yourself what similarity they see that brought them together. Take all the time you need.

Folks love calling Israel a liberal democracy, but here they are claiming news is a 'threat to national security'. When informing people of what you say and do is a threat, you're doing something wrong. They did this two days after .

The pro- movement is being infiltrated by agents. When you see shit like this, report it, block the person, and spread awareness of their names. Anyone sharing this codswallop needs to be made persona non grata everywhere.

I wanted to record a few thoughts on the pending legislation trying to call Jewish Voice for Peace and folks like me antisemitic, and since trolls killed my TikTok, I did it this way instead. Hopefully this is clear. I want folks able to distinguish between an ideology and a people!

Someone reshared this old post of mine on Facebook this morning, so perhaps it's worth a reshare myself.

When universities were created in mediaeval Europe, it was students who set curricula and approved the instructors and administrators. I think we need to get back to something like that because the present system serves the status quo and not students.

Clear communication has been restored with #Voyager1. The probe is over 15 billion miles away, sailing in interstellar space. That it's still operational after 47 years is amazing, and the kind of results we'll never get with for-profit space companies.

(1/2) Israel alleged back in January that UNRWA workers were with Hamas and participated in 7 Oct., which was obviously false, and no-one in my field took it seriously. They offered no evidence to investigators, then or over the following months. UN has concluded it was a lie...

The US will be dropping a bit lower still in next year's #FreedomHouse rankings, from 62nd place in individual liberty to who knows how low. Both #TheDemocrats and #GOP are jam-packed with vicious authoritarians who simply lie about caring for freedom. This is a #PoliceState.

It gets tiresome, the way #antisemitic conspiracies spread among fellow pro-#Palestine folks. It also hurts our cause. #AIPAC is evil for its politics, yes, but doesn't own Congress; it backs already evil people. Same with media. Jews don't buy control; the truth is more complex.

Recognizing #Palestine as a sovereign state would allow them to address the #occupation through legal channels and negotiate more easily with the #Israeli state. If what the US falsely calls the "international community" cared about just peace, it would join the majority in this.

108+ students were arrested at #Columbia University as the school cracks down on pro-#Palestine protests. We're in a new #McCartyite age of censorship but it's really the same old story. The left's emphasis on justice, humanity, and peaceful coëxistence threaten the ruling class.

When #H5N1 #BirdFlu becomes transmissible between humans, all the #covidiots and #antivaxxers will pop back up to urge people to their deaths. This strain has a 52% mortality rate for humans who've contracted it so far.

It's been predicted for decades, but idiots didn't care. Arctic #permafrost is now melting so fast that it's releasing more #greenhouse gases than it sinks. Even if we limited #warming to 1.5, a metric we've already surpassed, this melting would continue.
