Easter falls on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox — which this year is on March 31.

i spend my time mocking #MAGA and #vatniks

but due to recent news, i'm going to point some vitriol at another audience right now:

criticize #Israel govt / #Netanyahu all you want. 100% ok

but any #antisemitism or hatred of #Judaism / #Jews makes you a pathetic piece of sh**

change, douchebag

you're as #fascist as MAGA

criticize #Hamas all you want

but any hate for #Palestinians, and you too are a fascist #bigot

it's a f***ing shame i have to say this

“Let the Jews hang themselves. Keep the support, funding and arms flowing, by all means! When they’ve finished with Gaza and the crime is finally exposed and recognized, they’ll know how it feels...”
