New piece.

The data presented by @thejcpa.bsky.social and @counterhate.com about antisemitism on X is stark: it is being spread to hundreds of millions of people.

Not just antisemitism, but OVERT antisemitism. And that shift means far more than people realize. It won't be long before it leaves X.

Overt Anti-Jewish Hate is On the Verge of Going Mainstream

The combination of mainstreamed conspiracy theories and overt hate on X is close to transforming America's relationship with Jews.

WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THOSE PEOPLE I PARDONED, ACCUSE THEM OF BEING ANTIFA, AND PUTTHEM BACK IN JAIL

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: There's compelling proof that antifa did infiltrate on January 6 dressed up like Trump supporters and incited violence. Is that something you'd like the new J6 committee to look at?

TRUMP: Well I've heard that. Yeah. We will be acting on some of that.

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long?

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

And of course, this time, the bailout would be in support of healing a self-inflicted **ongoing* wound.

A few weeks after the invasion of France, as British boats were evacuating Dunkirk, there was a small group of Cabinet ministers who suggested seeking peace with Hitler. Churchill refused. Instead he gave the "We shall fight them on the beaches" speech.

We need Democrats to lead like him.

Is it time for ... a Senate shutdown GANG?

Coons: “A couple more days of this, and you'll have a group of senators at least trying"

Murkowski: “For the Democrats to switch their vote ... you have to have some germ of an idea as to where we go once we get it open"

www.semafor.com/article/10/0...

Could a bipartisan Senate gang stop the shutdown?

Senators once locked arms across the aisle on infrastructure, immigration, and more. Some in the chamber think that’s the way out of the current crisis.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.
