I'm not even going to link to the crappy interview, because no journalist who doesn't ask a followup about either antisemitism, or racism isn't worth their salt.

Racist too, yes, and white supremacist. But it's clear that the antisemitism is what ties those things together in a the mind of a Christian Nationalist like Pompeo.

Who corrupts the children? The Jew. Who is the puppeteer of the rebellion against white power? The Jew.

It's not even beneath the surface, it's right there. You don't have to squint to notice it, you have to squint not to.

Mike Pompeo thinks Randi Weingarten is the most dangerous person in the world. I don't see any way a person comes to have that view without being deeply antisemitc.

(For those who don't know, Randi Weingarten is the President of the United Federation of Teachers.)

For folks who aren’t following the birdsite, yesterday the son of the prime minister of Israel argued in a 4-part thread that, in effect, Kanye & friends are 100% right to stereotype & hate bad Jews (= “liberals”, “globalists”) — but that they shouldn’t stereotype & hate all Jews because some Jews - like the Netanyahus - are good (“conservatives”, “patriots”) who share the same values as Kanye & friends.

Here's an amazing octive harmony - Denise Gutiérrez of Hello Seahorse! with Zoé.

My account started getting a lot of targeted racist abuse and death threats. Typical 4ch*n stuff: N-word, kill, hang, H*tler, etc. I'm a Black dude on the internet, so I've seen it all before. It's just annoying.

So I reported about 20 of them. No response. This is the flip side of what I thought was good about Mastodon.cloud: That the mods don't moderate Black folk for talking about racism. The downside of very hands off moderation is inaction.

I love vocal octive harmonies. Love love love.

The week before Thanksgiving Twitter fires 4K workers, Amazon fires 10K workers, Facebook fires 11K workers, and Disney plans thousands of layoffs—all while US Billionaire pandemic wealth increased an absurd $1.7T.😳

A reminder that billionaires don’t create jobs—they exploit workers.

Tax billionaires. Unionize workers.

My interest in watching pro sports is waning because of all the focus on/advertising for gambling.

I mean, wow. There's so much going on here. But the take-home is that people who create hate propaganda can manipulate anyone to try horrible things.

If this guy succeeded, it would have been an antisemitic attack, and his having had a 93 year old Holocaust surviving grandfather would not change that.
