watching sam nunberg’s meltdown all day on msnbc has been so entertaining
but rlly tho
the table has been shook. these kids aren’t playing any games and fuck anyone who thinks that this generation of teens shouldn’t be aware and adamant about wanting social/political change
your periodic reminder that “golem” is not a word you can throw around without context. i know golems are pretty ingrained as earth/elemental spirits in a lot of fantasy settings now, but i wish more people understood that golems are extremely important to jewish people in an extremely specific way.
the legend of the golem is a direct response to antisemitism in europe–specifically the blood libel; it was the golem’s job to expose asshole christians who tried to frame jews for child murder. the golem was a uniquely jewish response to a uniquely jewish problem: a sort of proto-superman who could come to our aid when all else failed. the golem is for the most part a benign protector (though there are legends of them rampaging after their rabbis lost control of them, but really, that one’s on the rabbi for not being specific enough). it is a positive and much beloved figure in jewish folklore.
so i want you to understand the full extent of jewish revulsion when we see people throwing around the word “golem” in regards to trump.
trump is not a golem. you do not get to use that word. it does not mean “vaguely human-shaped unfeeling lump of excrement trying to pass as a person.” If that’s what you’re trying to convey with the word “golem”, please just use those words instead.
me: i hate violence
also me: *sees a trump supporter*
being a democrat is embarrassing lol
i’m a gemini you dumb bitch
No matter how “presidential” Trump acts in response to the flooding in Houston, no one should give him any credit. Scientists are saying the intensity of this storm is largely due to rising sea temperatures caused by global warming. Politicians like Trump, who are dialing back our country’s efforts to fight global warming, are complicit in these disasters. Trump’s actions may be too recent to have played a role in this specific disaster, but if he gets his way, future environmental calamities will arise due in part to his policies. Make no mistake: he is eager to capitalize on this tragedy to boost his image in a seemingly apolitical way, but don’t let it happen. His actions are contributing to a future of more disasters like this.
Hilarious 😂😂👏👏
i hope donald trump looks directly at the eclipse since he’s so good at denying science
One thing that is kind of silly to me is the constant badgering to have Trump condemn the Nazis. He’s a white supremacist, we *know* he’s not going to speak against them! It’s not that he relies on their support, it’s not some sort of political calculation – he is one of them. I’d like people to call him out on that, specifically. You know, “Since you refuse to condemn the white supremacists, it’s reasonable to assume you are one. Do you have any comment on that?”
Shove his fucking face in it.
‘Trump bots’ and how Right Wing media utilizes their ‘fake media’.
Fascism modern 😱😡🙄😱
tr*mp just called trans people a burden on twitter……… like it was nothing……….. like it was just a normal thing to say in front of millions of people…… …. ……,, don’t tell me again he doesn’t use every opportunity to strip away rights from those who need it the most
and to my trans followers, you are not a burden. don’t let this rotten carrot get in the way of letting you shine, fuck 45 and fuck all of his supporters. they ain’t nothing compared to how ethereal and beautiful y'all are 💕💕💕💕
That’s Buzz Aldrin, who was the second man to set foot on the moon after Neil Armstrong, which makes this video 100x better
