I will NEVER forget, nor forgive how the Biden administration did NOTHING about the vile explosion of antisemitism in this country this past year. NEVER.
I REALLY love today's offering. You go girl, with your positivity! Eve, you write the truth and I can hardly believe how you can be condemned for stating facts. So many people love you. The haters are weak and you are Goliath strong.💪 Coming out to your Egyptian Grandmother may give you a cathartic experience. After all, that is your truth.💟🌈☮️
As always, you have written a beautiful and powerful piece worth saving and perhaps reading aloud later to my 80+ year-old Jewish neighbor who almost spit in my face when I told her about Biden‘s dementia at least six months before the election. I’m going to post this comment and then I will choose not to read the rest of the comments because I can’t bear reading some of the hateful things. People are going to say to you. Stay strong.
I hope Trump is able to revoke student visas for troublemakers and pass legislation to limit foreign funding to universities from nations like Qatar. I also don't wish to hear any more nonsense about a 2-state solution - that train left the station at the start of the second intifada (before it was "globalized"). Finally, local school districts must be cleansed of board members and teachers who seek to indoctrinate students. If we can keep religion out of public schools, we can keep keffiyeh cultism out, too. Not sure how much the last goal can be accomplished at the Federal level, since school districts are controlled by local governments. Indirectly, via federal funding, perhaps, plus Title VI lawsuits.
At least we'll finally see the Taylor Force Act enforced!
I am an American Jew and a zionist. I am also a psychologist and know a dangerously disordered personality when I see one. Trump is dangerously unstable. Hi support for Israel is the only silver lining, but he is also pro-proud boys, the virulent right wing antisemitic terror group.
Trump is not discerning in terms of what is good for Israel or good for the United States, He is in it for himself and his own power. He has no morals and no character.
I am disgusted with the left's anti-Israel stance. The words "Israel has the right to defend itself" are empty when Israel does what it has to do to defend itself and the left demands a cease fire - which is just code for Hamas to restock its tunnels with weaponry.
As W.T. Sherman once famously quoted "war is all hell." Israel is at war. People die, children die - especially when the enemy uses citizens as human shields. Can you imagine the US not defending itself against Germany in WW2 because children would be killed? Israel is allowed to BE IN a war but never WIN a war, So the conflict continues. Maybe Trump sees this, maybe not.
We must always remember that to Christian nationalists, Israel is simply a means to an end for them. The rapture will come when all Jews return to their homeland and Jesus will return. THAT is their motivation for their support of Israel.
I believe that in order for Israel to be strong, The United States has to be strong. Right now we are divided by a cult leader, a convicted rapist and felon. That doesn't make us strong, it makes us schizophrenic. And it may herald the last best hope for the western world and put an end to The American Experiment (admittedly flawed) with xenophobia, racism, misogyny where everyone else is "the enemy." I don't feel lighter, I don't feel stronger. I am afraid for our future.
This may be true. Or it may not be true. I choose to have hope and to attempt to work with what we have than to spend fruitless time worrying about what hasn’t passed.
I’m an immigration lawyer and am freaked out about what they’re going to do to us this time…. My clients - doctors, researchers, scientists, are begging me to get everything filed so it can be approved before he’s in office. It’s just over a week and am already exhausted and somewhat burned out
The Atlantic has a hysterical article about Trump appointing Mike Huckabee as ambassador to Israel. It seems he’s not on board with a two state solution (!)
Tell your grandmother! She might not be as shocked as you think...she might even say she knows someone.....I wish you joy and luck but finding someone as amazing as you is a big ask....

You bring so much light and strength to me and so many others.

Excellent post, agree entirely.

thing/it
thing/it!. Good one!
Agree with everything Eve said as well! She's such a talented writer.
Agree. Yes, those are my pronouns.

Just figure out who is going to kill us now and who is waiting for the Rapture. Priorities.

I would 100% like to put my pronouns as Absolutely/Not. The directive for pronouns offends me very deeply, right at the heart of my identity
Love love love this - thank you!!!!
That Trump speech is everything right now. Thank you for sharing it. Great post as always
As always, thank you Eve.
Really did AOC get rid of her pronouns? Is that all it took? Omg do I hate pronoun posting. I’ve had to hold my tongue for so long.
I couldn’t hold my tongue. I thought it was the stupidest… everyone worrying about micro aggressions- how about aggressive aggressions
