I'm just a liberal Jewish suburban mom of 2. I'm not a leftist, not a radical, don't believe in political violence. I believe in compassion, civil rights, and the American Constitution.

it's an inconvenient truth that US federalism is one of the biggest structural blocks on Trumpism and if much of Bsky had its way it would be gone
I have some issues with Cuban. But having Musk or RFK Jr running everyone’s health insurance to the last detail gets a lot of people killed.
And the retort can’t just be “Mark, why are you asking us how to fix that?” 1/

Most of all, drop that "we're fucked" mindset. Time to leave that doomerism bullshit behind and focus on doing good.
I want 2026 to be the year where we collectively stop rewarding negativity. Stop bringing others down to bring yourself up. Stop bringing attention to genuinely awful people. Stop ignoring people bringing positive changes to the world. We need more kindness and empathy. I’m dead serious

Any of my fellow headache-prone sadsacks ever think about life before painkillers??? A headache will dog me for hours and potentially days unless I cut it off at the knees with analgesics. Would I have been a sickly Victorian lass shut up in my dark bedroom for days at a time??

As a Jew, it’s fun watching the administration post Christian nationalist messages while also saying they are doing everything they can to curb antisemitism.

There's a lot of people I respect who cannot come to terms with the fact that this is what the American people voted for, they're getting it good and hard, and there is little to nothing a minority party can do to stop it.
Republicans ran on a platform of mass deportation and they're delivering.

This is outright Nazi stuff, and Democrats in Congress aren’t doing enough to try and stop it.
WaPo reports that ICE is planning 7 massive human warehouses holding 5,000 to 10,000 people.
Recalls the acting ICE director 2015 statement that he wanted to see a “business”-oriented approach to deportations, “like [Amazon] Prime, but with human beings”.

One that most people don't think about is blood sugar. Americans are 100% correct on blood glucose measurements. Actually America vs. England is metric vs. slightly different metric, but ours is FAR superior.
The metric system makes more sense overall but Americans are correct on floor naming conventions and temperature. “I’m on floor 0” No. You are on floor 1.

Also IT DOESN'T MATTER MEMBERSHIP IN CHABAD DOES NOT MEAN COMPLICITY IN ISRAELI CRIMES WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU.

It is wild how people focus so much on Chabad and not at all on the fact that ISIS explicitly and openly stated it intends to kill Jews in their places of worship.

Some people truly cannot help but dance on the graves of children to make a point.

i am also in your ID group, but Chabad is deeply Zionist and Israel-defending.
every Chabad public gathering further endangers Jews by linking their religious expression to Israelism.
the recent Chanukkah celebration at Calgary City Hall raffled Israel bonds and performing school kids.

Nazi Germany’s Reichsbahn treated humans as "cargo," optimizing logistics via transit "warehouses" and standardized "bulk shipments."
By integrating cattle-car transports into national rail schedules, they achieved terrifying efficiency, managing millions like a routine industrial supply chain.

The people running the actual United States of America will commit a war crime or torture a few hundred immigrants and IMMEDIATELY run to Twitter to do some “based” meme post about it and yet we still refuse to recognize that social media incentives are pretty much the poison killing modern society.
It’s so fucking obvious that the incentives here and on Twitter are what’s causing the Asshole Pride political moment the U.S. is living through.
But these people are so addicted to their microblogging dopamine habit that they refuse to confront the uncomfortable truth.
