pls call your senators and reps

 The House just passed the bipartisan Antisemitism Awareness Act, house bill HR 6090, in response to college protests that have sprung up around the country against the genocide in Gaza. The bill would mandate that when the Department of Education enforces federal anti-discrimination laws it uses a definition of antisemitism put forward by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance.

This is bad. It essentially penalizes educational institutions for speech that is critical of Israel. It's discriminatory and an affront to free speech. Anyway, call your Senators and ask them to vote against it. Call your House reps and tell them either thank you for voting against it or tell them you're disappointed for voting for it.

Hi! I'm wandering around interest tags looking for new friends (I'm new on here) and see that you like poop jokes and by this post that you're pro-palestine (heck yeah!) and was wondering if you'd be open to being friends on here? If not I apologize and take no offense in your ignoring me, but I hope this comment meets you well either way!
