Let's make this perfectly clear. At least 75% of American Jews did not vote & would never vote for Trump. He is anathema to core jewish values like: welcoming the stranger, standing up for justice for ALL, honoring each human being...
Just came online after Shabbat: Trashing @IlhanMN is WRONG & does not represent mainstream Jewish thinking. Major shanda (more sickening on a day she's received death threats.)
To use Dayenu (it would be enough) referring to trump is too disgusting to even comment on. It's a refrain in the Passover Seder about God freeing the Jews from slavery. Esp abhorrent as he has put families in cages.
The person who said "fine people on both sides" is no friend of Jewish people. Or Muslims. Or Christians, to be honest. Hate is hate. Greed is greed. Narrow-mindedness is everywhere.
For more about Dayenu & why it is ridiculous to use it regarding trump: google.com/amp/s/www.myje…

1/ Whenever I go into despair re: the painful times we are living in, I think of ancestors who survived the worst, & still maintained their humanity. I’m going to share about one tonight. #SpiritualGuidance4Now #FamiliesBelongTogether
Rabbi Kalonymous Kalman Shapira was the rabbi of the Warsaw ghetto during the Holocaust. Despite the harrowing, murderous conditions, he counseled his community to make sure they continued to develop their inner life...#SpiritualGuidance4Now #FamiliesBelongTogether 2/
even in the darkest of time. He called his people to not go into despair, & instead, to continue to look for holiness & light in the everyday. Teaching in the Hasidic tradition, he taught that the Divine Presence is everywhere. #SpiritualGuidance4Now #FamiliesBelongTogether 3/

Jewish involvement in the Civil Rights Movement #Jews and #Blacks marched arm & arm. Jews were earliest supporters of #UrbanLeague, #ILGWU organized too. #AmericanJewishCommittee, #AmericanJewishCongress & #ADL were central in the fight (1 #MLKDay

#Jews made substantial financial contributions to many civil rights organizations including: #NAACP, #UrbsnLeague, #CongressofRacialEquality, & #StudentNonViolentCoordinatingCommittee (2) #MLKDay #MLK #MLKJr
50% of #CivilRights attorneys were #Jews & 50% of whites who went to Mississippi in 1964 were Jews who went to challenge #JimCrowLaws. Clark's study relied upon by the USSCt in Brown v Bd of Education case was paid for by #AmericanJewishCommittee #MLKDay (3)

Who funds the IEA, the TPA, the ASI &co?
You know, the RW 'free trade' thick tanks advocating tax havens, "freedom" (no regulations like workers' rights or environmental protection), no welfare (no tax & no free healthcare).
Basically, "Only the wealthier survive" philosophy?
1/n
*Could it be* that it has something to do with defending their funders' interests?
Today, I'm going to tell you the Thick Tanks' Hydra tale.
Featuring Atlas, huge piles of money, tradition, "free speech", useful idiots and a very clear agenda that Brexit/Trump are a part of.
2/n
Take a seat: It's a long story, with a lot of players, including politicians, pretty ladies squatting your TV, the climate change denial's network, the global fascist movement, Silicon Valley/multiname data-stealing/misusing company & private companies' involved in elections.

1) Which is basically just the wet wipes and crackers he has in his pocket.

This is it, folks. This is the ballgame right here. Right fucking here.
2) The leftists have nothing. There is no procedural route for them to take. Flakey won’t block it in committee, red state Dems are too close to midterms to look like rabid leftists w/o getting creamed by ads, and Cocaine Mitch is going to burn that filibuster to the ground.
3) The only route they have now is straight up civil disobedience. Filling the streets and buildings with protesters. Trying to stage walkouts of their politicians. Throwing screaming fits on CNN.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

President #Trump showed us #Qanon followers some love, and I saw one person on #CBTS on #8chan say, "love him"

I was about to cry... we love TRUMP!
