All the hostages have been released. It's incredible, and we need to celebrate.

Now, let's take a moment to thank the President who brought the most of them home.

He did a single thing that everyone recognizes as good. That's reason enough. No, I don't think he gives a damn about the people. He just wanted everyone to say he done good. It's his version of getting a gold star in 3rd grade.

It is incredible that Trump got hostages released. It should be celebrated, and a good act is a good act, no matter who does it.

That having been said, just because the Devil gives you a glass of water, that doesn't change the fact that he put you in Hell.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

This is the exact kind of reductionist, inaccurate, and wildly offensive generalizing I was saying is so counterproductive in my post. The more you make blanket statements like this, all you're doing is increasing un-nuanced thinking that widens the divide. Stop spamming and read.

As I mentioned, many Israelis (and Jews) hate Netanyahu & what he's doing. There's no question it's morally unforgivable what he's doing, & a genocide. That doesn't mean all Israelis are responsible. I hate Trump. Being American doesn't mean I'm responsible or to blame for what he & ICE are doing.

Being connected to a lobby doesn't mean anyone is owned. For example, being connected to the NAACP doesn't mean an MOC is owned by Black people.

First off, Israelis don't own people. That's called slavery.

Second, if Israelis owned Members of Congress, do you really think there would such a heated debate about Israel?

Eytan Stern Weber @eytansternweber.bsky.social · 17d

Not all Jews are Israeli.

Not all Israelis are Jews.

MOST Palestinians aren't terrorists.

MOST Israelis aren't Arab-haters.

MANY Israelis hate Netanyahu.

MANY Palestinians hate Hamas.

Possibly 2nd only to sub-Saharan Africa, it's the most nuanced part of the world. Learn nuance. It matters.

Just to be clear, there's one person and one person alone responsible for this. Netanyahu, who belongs in the deepest, darkest hole in the Hague, and every half hour on the dot, a family member of an innocent Gazan killed gets to get him between the legs.

But it's not the whole country's fault.

There's a difference between pity and forgiveness.

Eytan Stern Weber @eytansternweber.bsky.social · 23d

You realize this post has nothing to do with that, right?

Eytan Stern Weber @eytansternweber.bsky.social · 25d

We don't need to hide yet. We need to stand together, not abandon the system, and use every single legal, social, and political tool in our arsenal. If none of those work, we hide.

I read this article, then had to stop, look around the room, and slap myself in the face to prove this wasn't a distorted nightmare. This is real.

The FBI is planning to hunt down trans people as "nihilistic violent extremists".

This is real. This is happening.

The FBI Is Coming for Trans People

According to a new report, the Federal Bureau of Investigation is planning on labeling all trans people “violent extremists.”

If you think what other people wear is a threat to your way of life, then you don't have a very good life.

Advocating for peace and reason in a time of exponentially increasing extremism is never pointless.

I unfortunately have to agree.

Eytan Stern Weber @eytansternweber.bsky.social · Sep 13

Do not kill people just because you don't like what they have to say. Do not condone killing people just because you don't like what they have to say.

Do not canonize people just because they were killed.

I can't divulge details without breaking the trust of someone I deeply care about, but I need people to know this.

I know someone who was in the Teen Miss America pageant. Donald Trump was there. She told me that when she was 15, he grabbed her ass. When she responded, he laughed.

This happened.

You know how there are travel advisories for certain countries? Like, "Don't go to Mexico or Somalia, you might get kidnapped just because you're standing around."

Donald Trump has made us a 3rd world country. As a proud patriot, I am truly, deeply, soul-crushingly ashamed.

He says he knows the American people. He says he's a "stable genius". He says he knows what's best for our country.

So why does the American people disagree?
