This is unbelievable to me. This is discrimination. It's targeting a specific religious and ethnic group.
As a Jewish historian who works at a university, I think it’s great that an administration committed to destroying “the internal globalist enemy” which is staffed by groyper antisemites is collecting lists of Jews. Can’t see any potential downside here at all.

I don't fault politicians for going on some sort of vacation and taking a break when they're not in session. They need it. There's burnout just like any other profession. My issue is when they run away from problems, like #TedCruz leaving #Texas every time there's a disaster.
