I am not technically allowed to comment on this so just putting it here innocently, my brain completely cleared of all related thoughts. Look at that squirrel!

The initial meaning of the term “antisemitism” was Nazis attempting to make hating Jews sound scientific. “Semitic” refers to language groups, not people. Antisemitism has always meant “hatred of Jews,” not “hatred of people born in a desert” or even “hatred of speakers of Semitic languages.”

Bigotry and hatred of Muslims is real and important topic to discuss in a serious manner. Derailing such discussions with this "antisemitism is also about Muslims" nonsense is so unserious. Cut it out. To make matters worse, it's popularized by jew-haters to undermine anti-antisemitism efforts.

Trump is not unbeatable! He's not a wizard who can get whatever he wants with a snap and a whim. He loses all the time, and just as often quits on things he says he's going to do. This is why the "he's going to cancel the election and make himself king" stuff is so maddening.
Steve VladeckPresident Trump had (loudly) promised that he would ask #SCOTUS to grant rehearing of its June 30 decision blocking his executive order purporting to limit birthright citizenship. The deadline for such a request was yesterday—and ... crickets.

*whispers* you know we can do this cultural debate about art thing all the time, right? Websites and news organizations used to have culture critics on staff whose entire job was writing about books, movies, and TV. People read them and then discussed them. We have the technology to do this again.
