big fucking surprise but trump is blaming the temple for not having been armed lmao
“if they had some kind of a protection inside the temple, maybe it could have been a very much different situation” —trump in response to a reporter’s question about gun control
what is it gonna take for you freaks to realize that antisemitism is still real and is deadly, right now, in 2018
you all need to fucking reblog this no offense. especially if you aren’t jewish
source, and another source in which the synagogue says they do in fact have guards, but only on major holidays.
how far do people have to go just to survive, and how long is this going to go on until the blame is finally focused on antisemitism itself?
I have a hill to die on right here so im just gonna go off for a second. It wasnt until this year that i realized security is not a normal regular everyday thing for churchgoers. I never realized until this year that all the cameras and guards and cop cars and bag checks were for a reason. It was just how i grew up, thats just how it went. You checked in with the security desk, a guard would look in your purse or tallis bag and then youd be on your merry way. It never occurred to me that they were Actually Looking For Threats, its just always been a part of my religious experience.
We know people hate us. We know people want to kill us, that’s kind of our entire history.
Those people who were murdered didnt die because they were unprepared, they died because somebody wanted them dead.
אנחנו נתגבר ונשרוד גם את זה.
Also just for the record, the implication that being Not Christian means you should be prepared to die at any time is sickening. Fuck you.
Trump, as I know you know, is trying his damnedest to take away a lot of people’s civil and human rights. His supporters necessarily support this -either because they actively hate us, or because whatever “non hateful” reason they have to support Trump is more important to them than the fact he is, as I said, trying to take away a lot of people’s rights.
So, when we see that we’ve been sharing the work of a Trump supporter, we want to know about it so we can stop. We don’t want to contribute to Trump supporters getting attention or getting paid for their art, no matter what the art consists of, because the person who made it either wants us dead/deported/fired or kicked out of our house for being trans/etc, or doesn’t care that they’re helping that shit happen. (And the distinction between those two things matters a lot less than you likely think.)
I just messaged the artist on his Instagram. This is NOT him.
Please spread this version. If he had a Twitter he would cross promo his Instagram. At least for the exposure.
So I finally got a hold of the guy and asked personally, and it looks like, unfortunately, he is most likely a Trump supporter and at the very least won’t say he isn’t one for fear of losing followers.
i know its real fun to talk shit about texas and to laugh it up about how stupid texans are but can we PLEASE acknowledge that this election made texas purple, and that there have been HUGE efforts to bring out people of color and poor people who have previously been disenfranchised, and that even though beto didnt win this is STILL A REALLY IMPORTANT STEP. especially the latino voting population grew enormously this election cycle. fuck the 71% of white men and 59% of white women who voted for cruz, and i dont wanna come off like im making some kind of “not all texans” argument, but the people of color here r fighting tooth and nail and it sucks that ppl r just unilaterally saying “texans stupid nyeh”
Woke up to this. If you are unaware, Nationalist is code word for Nazi. White Nationalists are Nazis with a different name. They are for “ethnic cleansing” which means Genocide. Nazi announces he is a Nazi.
And he wants to get rid of trans/non-binary folks. The same thing first happened back then when Nazis took down the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute of Science of Sexuality). They had so much data about trans folks in general and Nazis burnt it down with all the records and data. This is how a fascist regime starts.
