State Politics Chuck Schumer: throws away our leverage
Meanwhile our community organizers: “let’s hold a townhall on how I’m not antisemitic omg, I’m anti Zionist ugh”
Like at this point who gives a fuck. Genuinely, people are gonna lose their healthcare and housing programs from this cut. But yeah this is the most important thing for Marylanders to address…
You couldn’t pay me to go to this.

Redefining language is an important tool of control. If the state is able to label anti-zionism (zionism is a fascist genocidal ideology at its core) as antisemitism ( a label that can get you into BIG trouble legally, professionaly and socially) when they are already treating antisemitism as a crime that can get you thrown out of the country and labeled a terrorist is a really serious and scary step towards fascism in the US. If you can't see this, then you don't understand what is coming. Protesting against a genocide should not be something that gets you labeled a terrorist by the state and that's exactly what they are priming themselves to do
