  • Secretary Kristi Noem and the Department of Homeland Security announced $94 million in federal grants to over 500 Jewish-based organizations across the United States.

    Fuck Noem and her ICE bullshit.

    I welcome this. Jewish Americans have been wrongfully threatened over things Israel has been doing. Jewish Americans (the many im friends with) hate the Israel govt’s actions and leaned heavily Democrat. Temple were getting weekly bomb scares during 2024, and there’s been lots of harassment and physical violence. They walked alongside of us during BLM and No Kings.

    I wish this was extended to the Muslim community. But of course, we know why it’s not.

    Unless you’re my friends, which is then this.

    Them: wyd?

    Me: (immediate response) Hey man. I’m going to wrap up work at 5pm, then I’m going to dinner with my wife. Want to come and bring your new gf? If so, let me know and we’ll pick you up.

    Them: (2 hours later) 🦶🪐📐🪬 haha feel me?






  • I have two points to add to this:

    1 - As a liberal, there was nothing more frustrating than having to vote for Kamala, a candidate who was aggressively “pro-cop”, especially as many in the country were protesting for defunding cops. Youre not going to energize most people with an angle like “You want us to vote to stop Trump?”

    2 - As a person who is part of the black/immigrant community, the government has a history of ignoring us for decades. It’s not the federal government, but the local government too. Systematic racism has always kept us down. And I hate to say it, Trump got a wall going. Trump has ICE harassing immigrants. These are newsworthy events, even if they’re in the wrong fucking direction. But a Democrat has a history of never wanting to create a ripple as they appeal to all sides.
