And this, quite frankly, is why I ultimately chose NOT to go to an in-person No Kings protest on Saturday, because I am a 5' 2" disabled woman, and if some jerkoff pretending to be a cop starts throwing me around, they could kill me, and I have too much I still want to accomplish to allow that.

BOTH of your statements are MISCHARACTERIZATIONS, aka MISREPRESENTATIONS of what I said, as is clear from the quotes of what I DID say that you've included.

You'd make a lousy journalist.

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 1d

This would make my dad happy.

He used to enjoy watching Bob Ross, and his "happy little trees."

I miss the 70s.

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 1d

Not even close.

I don't like either party, and became independent in 2011, but I still typically vote for Democrats, because the Republicans started their long slide toward fascism under Nixon, and they're now completely untethered to the truth or the Constitution.

They're Enemies of the State.

The banality of evil is precisely what we're dealing with in the U.S. with the twice-impeached criminally seditious sociopath dismantling our government and gleefully sending innocent people to foreign prisons known for human rights violations.

Hopefully, he, and his enablers, will join them there.

3/ STOP putting them in mine.

I asked you to help me gain a more accurate view, but since you seem more interested in telling me not to say things I never said in the first place, I'm left to wonder what phrase I should use to depict those Jews who are all-in with wiping Palestinians out of Gaza.

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

2/ that when I referenced Zionists in this context, I was referring ONLY to those identifying as Zionists who ALSO supported Netanyahu's ongoing slaughter of innocents, and NOT to the people of Israel as a whole.

That was YOUR read, NOT what I actually said.

I don't put words in YOUR mouth, please

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

Please STOP telling me how I mean things because YOU'RE REALLY BAD AT IT.

I NEVER said there was no genocide in Gaza, I specifically referenced it more than once.

I've NEVER supported Hamas, in any way, and have regularly condemned their actions in murdering Jewish innocents.

I also made it clear

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

You're clearly reading into my words things I neither said nor intended.

I suggest you read my words again, in full, because your admonition here has nothing to do with what I actually said.

It's nearly two in the morning here, so I'm going to bed, but I wish you a wonderful rest of your day.

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

5/ did the opposite, and invited you to present evidence to show me where I was wrong.

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

4/ already acknowledged that it's entirely possible that there are many Zionists who do not support the killing, and that as an outsider, I can only have an incomplete understanding.

You proceeded to put words in my mouth, saying that I was condemning all Zionists and 80% of Jews, when in fact I

3/ trying to create lasting peace in the region, which is the LAST thing Netanyahu wants.

As I've already stated, I'm not condemning Zionists, but I AM calling out those who support the ongoing genocide (which many Jewish Israelis DO NOT), many of whom have referred to themselves as Zionists.

I've

2/ DON'T SUPPORT is the war criminal Netanyahu and those who support his bloodlust against the innocent Palestinian women and children whom he seems to take great pleasure in killing.

Netanyahu, among other things, likely had his predecessor Yitzhak Rabin murdered to regain power, because Rabin was

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

I've ALWAYS supported Israel's right to exist.

I came very close to converting to Judaism in my twenties, and had some amazing conversations with a succession of rabbis, who were fundamental influences in my becoming who I am today.

I have deep love and respect for the Jewish people.

What I

3/ sides and be accurate in my assessments.

That said, I'm human, and therefore fallible.

I'm not there, and thus can only have an incomplete understanding.

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

2/ to themselves as Zionists.

Those advocating violence typically do refer to themselves as Zionists, and I've yet to hear anyone claiming to be a Zionist who has condemned the killing.

If I'm wrong in this assessment, I'm more than willing to see evidence presented, as I want to be fair to all

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

The Zionists I'm referring to are those who advocate violence as the means to their desired ends; for example, continuing to support Netanyahu's genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.

The majority of Jews I've known and loved do not condone these sorts of war crimes. I've never heard them refer

His plan from Day 1 was to follow the Nazi playbook - he hasn't been shy about it, or made any effort to cover it up.

Maybe if we took the cover of Hitler's Collected Speeches (which Ivana claimed was the only book he kept on his nightstand) and put it on the Epstein Files, he'd release them!
🤣🙄🤣🙄🤣

2/ wall after 9/11 allowed Republicans to push through their reprehensible Patriot Act.

The Republican party started its long spiral toward fascism in the Nixon administration, and every Rep president to follow was worse than the last.

Eisenhower was the last Republican president with honor.
🇺🇸💔🇺🇸

My husband Marek lived in NYC for fourteen years after emigrating from his native Poland.

He had nothing good to say about the twice-impeached dumb@ss, especially since he used to hire Polish immigrants in his hotels and resorts, then refused to pay them.

We both saw the fascist writing on the

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

The "INVASION" is a freaking MYTH.

Get a clue.

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

I'm not reading RWNJ tRump-fueled garbage, I'm keeping track of far more accurate reportage from other nations, who are as horrified by his fascist takeover of our government as I am.

And if you deny that last part, you're simply lying, because he, Vance, and Miller have ALL embraced Project 2025

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

3/ actions, rather than doing their DUTY to REPORT THE TRUTH about this despicable traitor, and show him to be as deranged and unhinged as he's proven himself to be.

The twice-impeached criminally seditious traitor has EARNED LIFE in PRISON with ZERO POSSIBILITY of PAROLE, along with his enablers.

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

2/ our nation and to our allies.

He's a one-man governmental wrecking ball, and if YOU can't see THAT, then you must be treading water in Kool-aid 24/7/365.

The MOST disgusting thing in the media is all the legacy media outlets that have caved and normalized his highly abnormal behavior and

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

It makes PERFECT SENSE if you listen to ANY of the CONSTANT and UNENDING FIREHOUSE of LIES streaming from his disgusting mouth.

He is, as he has ALWAYS BEEN, a despicable piece of human garbage, and it may be generations before we come close to uncovering the full extent of the damage he's done to

Cori @crescendoofpeace.bsky.social · 2d

3/ The TRAITOR in our White House is CURRENTLY in RESIDENCE, and is a monumental embarrassment every day that he's not in PRISON where he rightfully BELONGS.

Biden wasn't my first choice, but he did a FAR better job than I expected, and ORDERS of MAGNITUDE better than the twice-impeached POS.
