Fascinating how white liberals and white supremacists get along perfectly 

So I actually did a little digging and the date on that tweet in the image above is 6/5/17

But if you go and see the actual tweet the date is really  8:42 PM – 8 Nov 2016
Go see for yourself.

This is actually from when Julia Ioffe wrote a scathing article titled 

Scenes From the Trump Hotel which was from Election day.

She interviewed Spencer which I will put here so you can read and heads up he sexually assaults her.

“Are you ready to concede yet?” said Richard Spencer, the young white nationalist who coined the term “alt-right,” swilling a Manhattan and doing his best to look the part of 1930s hipster in tweed slacks and a matching vest, and that crisp “fash” haircut, which combines the words for “fashion” and “fascist,” and, Spencer said, has “spread like wildfire.”

“People didn’t understand the power of the white vote,” he said jubilantly.

Was this a white victory? I asked him.

“Totally!” he said. This, he said, was a victory over “the abstract idea of citizenship” in favor of “identity and a nation,” “because, fundamentally, to be an American is to be a white person.” (As for the people who don’t fit that category, “They’re not going anywhere.”)

“And the other thing is that the cucks are dead,” he said, using the alt-right slang for establishment conservatives they despise. “They chose the wrong side and we chose the right side. We are going to displace the conservative movement, we are going to be the right. Period. It’s going to be a lot of fun.” The alt-right would become professionalized and would become the new political establishment on the right, which was fine, Spencer said, because they don’t mind the political establishment as long as they’re the political establishment.

Which got Spencer thinking: What role could he play in a Trump administration? “I would want to be secretary of state,” he said. His first trip would be to Syria, his second to Russia—to tell them “we’re not going to get into a war over this”—then to China. Failing that, though, Spencer would want to be minister of culture and “spend millions of dollars on Wagner.”

The conversation kind of soured—“I feel like this is an inquisition”—when he refused to say whether Hitler was good or bad—“he’s an important historical figure”—or whether the Holocaust was good or bad, said that the anti-Semitic alt-right trolls haranguing me and other Jewish journalists were “just kids having fun,” and when he slid his finger down the back of my dress and said, “You have a slit here.” Surprised at my request not to touch me, he asked me to “calm down.”

It does not go unnoticed that there is this smearing of a Jewish woman to make her seem like she is white supremacist sympathizer.
Especially seeing as this same Jewish woman was harassed and sent death threats along with images of her photoshoped in Holocaust images for writing an article on Melania  Trump that was not sycophantic.

This smearing of her is not just this there is also:

Julia Ioffe found herself at the center of a Twitter firestorm over a six-year-old post in which she repeated a racial slur for black people.

Ioffe, a staff writer at the Atlantic who is known for her liberal politics, initially thought her account had been hacked before realizing the 2011 tweet was actually a quote taken from someone she was interviewing, not written in her own voice.

What is happening here is the willful misconstruing of facts in order malign and smear a Jewish person and to make them appear as a white supremacist sympathizer.

This is antisemitism plain and simple.

Also if you look at the date on the tweet in the first post you will see that is not even how twitter does their dates and times.

I don’t know if OP is the one who messed with the image or they got if from somewhere else all I do know is that what we have here is antisemitism.

I hope that this version with the correct information spreads as fast and as far as the false antisemitic original did.

GUYS PLEASE READ THIS AND STOP SPREADING THOS POST AROUND UNCRITICALLY

Reblogging bc i’ve only seen the original dumb ass post before this

Julia Ioffe has been harassed 24/7 by neo-nazis because she wrote an article about Melania a year ago. They leave Hitler speeches on her voicemail. But by all means, keep making assumptions based on a picture and falling for a neo-nazi propaganda campaign. 

This is another one from a Russian account, from June of 2017. They didn’t stop when the election was over, they continually turned you against trustworthy sources of information.

Russian bots can spread the lies but it won’t help unless we fuel it. So fucking stop, check your sources.

this is the second time that katy perry’s sexually harassed a teenage boy in the past year.

at the 2017 iheartmusic awards, she grabbed shawn mendes butt. he was visibly shaken by it, and said, “i’m just stunned. i’ve never met her before”. instead of taking it seriously, most people turned it into a joke, and she never got in trouble for it.

and now, she’s kissed a 19 year old american idol contestant, which is not only unprofessional, but he said that it was without his consent and that it made him uncomfortable, and that even if she had asked for his consent first, he would have said no. but instead of taking it seriously and firing her, people (especially men) are telling him to “get over it” and that “at least you got kissed by katy perry” and she gets to keep her job. if it was a man kissing a 19 year old girl contestant, people would demanding that he get fired, and they would probably do so, no questions asked.

i’m so tired of living in a society where men aren’t taken seriously if they’re sexually harassed by women.

i’m so tired of living in a society where women sexually harass men and get away with it, just because they’re women. they deserve to pay the consequences for it, just like when a man sexually harasses a woman.

Saying there’s a sex panic on the grounds that women don’t like having their asses grabbed is the 2017 way of calling women frigid. In the 1950s, the woman who slapped a man’s face for an unwanted grope was mocked for not being sexually open, for being uptight. Now she’s accused of participating in a “sex panic.” But it’s all the same thing across the generations: When women stand up to say “keep your hands off of me” there’s a good chance they’ll be called prudes. Saying there’s a sex panic is a fancy way of saying that women’s bodies don’t completely belong to them the way their cars do. Someone can damage a woman’s car in a very small way, and insurance companies take it seriously and pay for the repair. She owns that car, and has every right to protect it. But if someone grabs her butt without her permission, she needs to lighten up. What is she, a frigid bitch?

More Info: Statistics Show Exactly How Many Times Trans People Have Attacked You in Bathrooms

Surprise: There are zero reported cases of this happening.

“Several states, including Arizona, Florida, Texas and Kentucky, are considering enacting so-called “bathroom bills,” which restrict transgender people from using the bathroom in line with their gender identity, and are framed as “protective” measures against “sexual predators.”

But these bills are not protective. They’re vehicles for instilling fear of trans and gender-nonconforming people. For example, Florida State Representative Frank Artiles ®, who sponsored the Single Sex Public Facilities bill (HB 583), did not provide any evidence that a trans person has ever attacked cisgender (non-transgender) people in public restrooms when pressed by BuzzFeed in February. On his blog, Artiles wrote that this bill is a “preventative” measure and was not spurred by a specific incident.

Big fat zero: Spokespeople from the Transgender Law Center, the Human Rights Campaign and the American Civil Liberties Union told Mic that no statistical evidence of violence exists to warrant this legislation. Vincent Villano, the director of communications for the National Center for Transgender Equality, told Mic in an email that there isn’t any firm data to corroborate these lawmakers’ claims, and that NCTE has “not heard of a single instance of a transgender person harassing a non-transgender person in a public restroom. Those who claim otherwise have no evidence that this is true and use this notion to prey on the public’s stereotypes and fears about transgender people.”

The Advocate noted the same glaring fact last month regarding Texas’ bathroom legislation: “There has never been a verifiable reported instance of a trans person harassing a cisgender person, nor have there been any confirmed reports of male predators ‘pretending’ to be transgender to gain access to women’s spaces and commit crimes against them.”

Trans panic”: Media Matters’ Luke Brinker and Carlos Maza wrote an in-depth report of the widely circulated narrative that trans people are predators, and how this myth is used to justify hate crimes against trans people. In fact, in most criminal courts, a defendant can legally use their fear of transgender people as their defense for assaulting or killing them. The results of Brinker and Maza’s survey of 15 “law enforcement officials, government employees and advocates for victims of sexual assault” from 12 states yielded no incidents of trans people harassing or assaulting cisgender people in public restrooms. They declared “the claim that sexual predators will exploit non-discrimination laws to sneak into women’s restrooms is a lie, plain and simple.”

The truth: Bathroom bills perpetuate violence against trans and gender-nonconforming individuals. According to the most recent National Transgender Discrimination Survey report, a whopping 63% of respondents “had experienced a serious act of discrimination” in their lifetime. Mic’s Derrick Clifton wrote that “roughly 70% of trans people have reported being denied entrance, assaulted or harassed while trying to use a restroom,” according to a 2013 Williams Institute report.

 I have recently come to a conclusion about the trans panic and these idiotic fear based bills: The lawmakers enacting them ARE sexual predators or are close to someone who is. To be able to come up with this without mental gymnastics you have to have the brain of someone who would do anything to grope or assault women and so to them and their assault-happy cronies these ideas don’t sound far fetched. If they could lock a woman in a bathroom where she thought she’d be safe without attracting attention, they would. To trans people just living their lives and trying to have basic access to a bathroom these sound so stupid because they are stupid.

i’m concerned about boys with mental illnesses and eating disorders and abusive relationships and sexual assault survivor stories and self-harming tendencies who never get the attention or care or help they need because all of those things “don’t happen to men” or because “all men are horrible monsters” and i just wanna say if you’re a boy and you’re struggling with something hard, your gender doesn’t diminish or dismiss your struggles or make them any less significant or difficult and i love you and i’m here for you

throwback to when someone very important to me was told he was faking his debilitating eating disorder because “cis men don’t have those” (((:

when “no means no” comes up, you hear guys say “oh, but sometimes girls play hard to get” and like…. i guess, yeah.  men & women both can be really bad at being honest about what they want.  but just consider your options.

  1. the other person says “no” and means “yes” –>  you back down –>  they learn
    that if they want something, they have to clearly express themselves
  2. they say “no” and mean “no” –>  you back down –>  you’ve successfully respected their boundaries
    👍👌

  3. they say “no” and mean “yes” –>  you ignore them –>  you’re perpetuating a pattern of bad communication & ignoring boundaries 👎 & given that you aren’t a mind reader, it’s really just luck that you haven’t coerced an unwilling person into sex
  4. they say “no” and mean “no” –>  you ignore them –>  you’ve committed sexual assault 🚨🚨🚨 do not pass go, do not collect 200 dollars

unless you care more about getting laid than not assaulting people, respecting people’s “no”s is a win-win situation.  don’t be a potential rapist

This is really important
