Today in Solidarity: Protesters gather in Oakland against the Urban Shield conference and police militarization.
Ever wonder where cities get all their fancy ideas on how to militarize their police force? It’s not just from the Pentagon— it’s conferences like Urban Shield, that highlight the latest in tactical equipment and practices for suppressing the very people you’re sworn to serve. #staywoke #whodoyouprotect #whodoyouserve
This is what the Oakland protest was for yesterday.
We don’t need companies like this. We don’t need our cops trained in military tactics. Police tactics are supposed to be about communities, not war. The motto is “to protect and serve,” not “shoot on sight.”
I can’t make you care but I can assert that if you’re going to hold us to higher standards than you do goyische white people because we “should know better” then you’d better fucking believe that you’re
- being antisemitic by implying Jews should have learned that oppression sucks
- being antisemitic by implying that Jews are inherently privileged through their Jewishness
- being antisemitic by implying that Jews are somehow whiter than white, and thus more privileged. (This literally gets Jews killed)
And if your response to being called antisemitic when you are in fact being antisemitic is
- “I can’t be antisemitic because I’m [unrelated minority group]”
- “I don’t care because Jews don’t advocate for me”
- “I don’t care because Donald Sterling/Israel”
CONGRATS
You’re still an antisemite. And you’re erasing Jews who are active participants in social justice. Or ignoring them. Or ignoring them unless it’s convenient for you. (I’m looking at everyone who reblogs Neuteri Karta.)
ALSO
- Stop making Holocaust comparisons.
- Right now.
- No excuses.
there are autistics getting murdered by the people they are supposed to trust and allistics choose to get angry at autistic headcanons
i havent seen ANYONE discuss what fox news said about muslims. and the growing tension towards muslims after news stations saying they’re scared of ISIS sleeper cells in the US (because muslims are always, always targeted and bombarded with surveillance and locked up and killed under false pretenses of terrorism when this happens) and it fucking scares me so fucking much.
don’t ignore me.
Unfriendly reminder that in America it’s reasonable to say an unarmed black kid deserved to be shot six times because he might have robbed a convenience store, but a white kid shouldn’t be kicked off the high school football team just because he violently raped a girl.
Unarmed black men killed by police SINCE Mike Brown
- Dante Parker
- Ezell Ford
Both of these incidents come out of California:

- SJ community loves to police Jewish identity and silence actual Jews when they talk about their own identities. This usually happens in context of either “Are Jews White?” or “Jewishness is just a religion” conversations. In reality, Jews are an ethnoreligious group that ethnically originated in the middle east, and while some ethnic Jews have light skin, it’s actually due to centuries of forced assimilation in European and Slavic countries through rape, which is a big reason why Jewishness is matrilineal. Furthermore, there exist Jews who do not look white at all. There are black, brown, and asian Jews who are all ethnically Jewish, and these conversations erase them.
- “Jewish privilege”. Fact: It’s not a thing. It’s actually a very common anti-semitic trope that says that Jews run everything so they are not oppressed. Jews are oppressed, and face anti-semitic violence.
- “Anti-semitism is not just about Jews, there are other semitic people.” While yea, there are other semitic people, the term “anti-semitism” was created by Germans in the 19th century to refer specifically to the hatred of Jews because it sounded more scientific.
- Blaming anti-semitic violence in Europe on the actions of Israel. I see this literally every single day on this site, and it’s very upsetting. Jews that live in the diaspora are not responsible for Israel’s actions, and especially should not be suffering at the hands of white people in Europe under the guise of anti-zionism.
- Finally, and this is a big pet peeve of mine. The only people I ever see reblogging posts about anti-semitism are other Jews. Even a lot of my non-Jewish followers will reblog posts about racism, sexism, homophobia, etc. but ignore posts about anti-semitism, and that as a Jew makes me feel unsafe.
That’s enough for now. If you’re interested in learning more about Jewish identity and anti-semitism, you are welcome to check out my personal blog: yochevedke. I discuss that stuff a lot.

Another Jew reblogging about anti-semitism. I’ve seen some increase in concern about this from goyim, but it’s been slow going. Hopefully we’ll pick up a big head of steam soon.

The lengths the media goes to coddle white male entitlement by deflecting the discussion to pretty much anything else is just… ugh
So many things wrong with this ABC Barbara Walters interview with the father of elliot rodgers, I don’t even know where to start. Calling that fucker’s misogyny and racism “mental illness”, making an advertisement for that interview that puts all sorts of words including “autism” but leaving out “misogyny”, “white male entitlement”, and “racism”. Because you know… who wants to highlight the actual issues! And then asking the murderer’s father “did you know he was sick?” Fucking hell how about we leave that sympathy for the actual victims of that crime?
That misogynistic, racist filth elliot rodgers got this sympathetic interview and Mike Brown is being called a “thug”?
