We lost an amazing JOC voice this weekend.There was not a more fiery, compassionate, or stubborn co-conspirator in the work of holding our community accountable to authentic Jewish values and morals than Ziggy. BDE. His family is asking that any donations be given here givebutter.com/gaza-soup-ki...

Oh. Oh NOW the ADL wants to show up. This isn't just more "ill-advised" autism we should "take a breath" on? Didn't he "visit Auschwitz" and "wore hostage dogtags"? Big empathy, such ally! Mans playing in your faces and making you look like clowns. Smh. Anyhoo, Shabbat shalom.

I'm just tryna see something: By a show of hands, how many of y'all out there hemming and hawing about "Roman salutes" are up in Nazis DM's and on their posts. Because *they* TOTALLY believe it was a Seig Heil. And I gather it's a lot more problematic if *they* think so than any of us non-Nazis...

But don't get too comfortable #BlackTwitter, because while this phrase is generally *not* a dogwhistle...sometimes it *absolutely* is. Like here. And it's a context I've experienced a greater than zero amount of times. So no, it's usage is not inherently universally benign 16/x
