We should think about Trump's crypto ventures as this kind of dark money direct deposit. The money is going straight into his bank account and it's giving all manner of all kinds of shady and corrupt actors a direct way to plug into his bank account. I

AOC hasn’t gotten a single bill passed in almost eight years of being in Congress. Vibes are not a substitute for competence.

We must all do our part to stand up to hate and discrimination. We all have the right and expectation to be treated equally and with respect.

Part 16 Likely not much legal action will come of it (unless she is dumb enough to post the video), but I want a record of what happened. I want to at least do my part to make sure this kind of discrimination isn’t quietly accepted as the new normal for Jews in the United States.

Part 15 of her facebook post: I would also like to report what happened to any appropriate authorities and organizations in the D.C. area. If anyone knows specifically where an incident like this should be reported, please let me know.

Part 14 In the meantime, I already contacted my bank. They immediately refunded the money and contacted the woman to let her know they would be withdrawing the funds based on the incident I reported.

Part 13 The irony of this situation is that we had spent the previous minutes bonding over the very culture I had spent years trying to understand and portray with empathy, only for that curiosity and goodwill to be stamped on the moment she learned I was Jewish.

Pt 8 I told her there is no genocide, I wasn’t apologizing for anything, and that she was totally out of line for subjecting a customer to blatantly racist harassment. (By the way, denying service to someone based on their nationality is illegal in this country.)

Pt 6 A bunch of Jews from New York showed up a few years ago and stole the land from the Arabs.” (A bunch of Jews from New York showed up and…what?! This would’ve been funny if it wasn’t so insane.) Shocked, I began packing up my purse to leave.

Part 2 I went to the salon yesterday to get my eyebrows done. The esthetician turned out to be Afghan. I was delighted, since I just finished writing a novel based on true stories that is partly set in Afghanistan. I told her about the amazing Afghans I interviewed for the book.

For those of you who read this & scroll by or react glad that she was refused service, do some introspection. Would you react differently if it were someone from another culture that was discriminated against? Read the details of the interaction below. I'll type the alt text as a reply to post #1.

DeSantis took $89mil out of our Florida Forever account to purchase & preserve land for future generations, bought the land for Trump's library & gave it to him. He has allowed Trump & Melania to illegally vote here in Florida. He has taken away our rights in the name of freedom!😡 He appointed 2/

Governor DeSantis is a crook! He governs just like the man who endorsed him Donald Jackass Trump, bullying people to get his way. He spent our tax dollars on Alligator Alcatraz, $700m to build & $1mil a year to run it. He promised that the federal government would reimburse us. It didn't happen😡1/

Florida deserves better than senators who look the other way on fraud. James Uthmeier, whom DeSantis appointed as the new AG, is endorsed by Trump and is running for a full term in 2026, is not any better. #Florida #RepublicanCostOfCorruption floridatrident.org/grand-jury-r...
