#(because i'm sure seeing a lot of people spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories like wildfire as of the last 48 hours!!!)

PEOPLE:

STOP COMING TO TUMBLR FOR NEWS.

There are live updates happening on most major news outlets. Posts circulating on tumblr are behind the times. If you want ACTUAL UP TO DATE NEWS with a minimum of panic and rabble-rousing then check elsewhere.

Yes, this is as bad as it looks. No, a panicky tumblr post does not have all the information. Prefer verifiable facts to social media soundbites.

CNN live updates

NBC live updates

NY Times live updates

CBS live updates

C-SPAN live video feeds (heads up: these are live and I’m not sure what content might be inside—so call this a violent-content warning)

Reuters article (updating but not a live feed)

Additionally, check your state and local news sources. There are related events already happening at the state/local level—it’s equally important for you to know what’s happening close to home. Be informed!

GO TO A REPUTABLE NEWS OUTLET.
