This is, almost certainly, a white supremacist in digital blackface propping up James Lindsey's argument that Jews are causing antisemitism through solidarity with Black people.
Look closely at the profile picture.
The earrings don't match. The right earlobe has some funky image stuff going on. The hair color and texture below the right ear is sharply different than above. There's an undershirt collar on the right, but not the left.
That is an AI generated profile picture.

James Lindsey is a high profile right wing demagogue who pretends to be left wing. He attacks critical race theory - the notion that racism is systemic, not organic, and serves white supremacy - while claiming to be against racism.
This week he's expanding that theme, openly blaming Jews for antisemitism and claiming that this is somehow him standing*against* antisemitism. It's a tactic. He parrots leftist sounding dialogue to make right-wing, white supremacists arguments.
COINCIDENTALLY, I have a low-profile right wing troll pretending to be a left-wing antiracist in my mentions this week. This guy is ALSO being propped up by a white supremacist in digital blackface. They aren't as subtle at it as James Lindsey is, but it's the exact same tactic.
So this seems like a semi-coordinated thing that is probably worth watching out for.
Final thought -
If you're curious about why Critical Race Theory and "wokeness" are the central preoccupations for these people, consider how CRT began. It's the result of looking at laws and institutions from a Black perspective instead of a white perspective.
That's what these people can't stand. They can't stand the idea of looking at our society from a Black perspective. Personally, that tells me all I need to know about them.

I want to do a brief deep dive into my frequent assertion that Messianic "Jews" are, in fact, Christians and that Christians cannot be Jews. Every time this comes up a bunch of people - mostly Messianic "Jews" and appropriative Christians - show up to argue with me.
They assert that if a Jew converts to Christianity, they remain a Jew and therefore Jewish Christians are a thing. And *technically* this is true - "once a Jew, always a Jew" is a thing. *Technically* it would be more accurate to say that "Jewish Christians" are apostates.
But while it's more *technically* accurate, it's more misleading. Because unless you know that apostasy is a complicated thing in Judaism, and that there are different classes of apostate, and what the legal restrictions and status are for them, it creates a false impression.

Here's the thing about all these calls for "unity" and "moving on" coming from Republicans in the house -
The people who tried to OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT aren't going to "move on". They aren't going to "unify". They are going to keep trying until they succeed in a coup.
Like, forget the fact that I don't particularly want to unify with fascists. The bottom line is that the fascists don't want to unify with me. They want to kill me. That's why they're erecting giant crosses and gallows in front of the capitol.
You don't stop a fascist uprising by making conciliatory noises and suggesting group hugs. You stop a fascist uprising by putting it down, quickly and completely. That means consequences. It means action. It means a resolute refusal to allow them to recruit and organize.

Nope. Not it, not even a little bit.
Insisting on honoring the diet mandated by your beliefs is not weak, it's not fragile, it's not brittle. Refusing to compromise your beliefs under pressure is not being a "snowflake".
Arizona Man is abhorrent. He's a bad person. He committed sedition, and he should face consequences for that. I suspect that he's the worst kind of cultural appropriator, and that he's weaponizing his colonialist "beliefs", and we should absolutely *raze* him for that.
What we should NOT do is throw Jews who keep kosher, Muslims who keep halal, Hindus and Sikhs who are vegetarian under the bus. People have a right to eat according to their beliefs, even when incarcerated, even when they are bad people.

Fun fact:
In the aftermath of the *actual* Kristallnacht, while the atrocities were being reported for what they were in most newspapers, the German Propaganda Ministry was using the Volkischer Beobachter, the State newspaper of the Nazi party, to spread disinformation about it.
The Nazis used their own news sources and their own conduits of information to downplay the violence, to outright lie about it's cause and to mischaracterize what was actually a pogrom directly ordered by Goebbels as 'spontaneous violence' by 'impassioned patriots'.
The Volkishcher Beobachter was purchased by the Thule Society, a far-right nationalist group, in 1918 specifically to be a propaganda paper for the Nazis. Between 1920 and 1930 it was suspended from publication three times for spreading false and hateful information.

I have seen (and received) a lot of advice on here for people who grew up distanced from their Jewishness who want to start practicing/observing that goes like this:

Start with something small, and gradually expand.

It's very practical advice, but I think it's not quite right.
Don't get me wrong, I think that starting a Jewish practice with simple things you know you can maintain is a great idea. Jumping into the deep end of a time consuming, lifestyle altering, intensely complicated practice is setting yourself up for failure.
It's the "gradually expand" part that I think is a little off. I think setting the expectation that the initial small, maintainable practice *must* expand is also setting yourself up for failure. It assumes, from the beginning, that what you want to do when you begin isn't enough

Christmas movie/song tropes that subtly reinforce Christian hegemony and/or supremacy:

* Everyone NEEDS Christmas, without Christmas people would be literally unable to be good/experience generosity of spirit/understand love/know what peace and joy are
* Christmas is totally secular and for everyone, pay no attention to these subtle allusions to Jesus!
* True Believers(tm) are inherently better people than Doubtful Cynics. A Doubtful Cynic can be transformed from a Bad person to a Good person by being shown the True Meaning of Christmas.
