And imposing sanctions on a country because of the actions of that country (not because of the religion of its citizens) is not #antisemitic.

There is real #antisemitism, including when people discriminate against Jews because of the actions of Netanyahu. That's like discrimination against Palestinians because of the actions of Hamas.
But opposing genocide/massacre regardless of who the perpetrators are is not antisemitic.

Cancel culture, whether you agree with it or not, is a boycott by ordinary people. Its power comes from the number of people who support it, not from one authoritarian ruler.
That's very different to a president abusing his power to censor people who criticise him. That's what dictators do.

And multiple studies have shown that political violence in the US comes much more from the right than the left.
The White House removed one such study from the White House web site.
Even the two attempted assassinations of #Trump were by Republican gun nuts.

some is egregious lies and some is misleading and stupid opinion.
And that's before we even consider the likely effect on inflation, and forgetting that the debt incurred by unsustainable tax cuts for the wealthy has to be repaid sometime (presumably under the next president).

Cutting education and science funding will have long term effects, including making the US less attractive to employers that need skilled workers (high paying jobs).
Science denial, authoritarianism, #racism and government incompetence have already destroyed our global reputation.

How is the #GOP going to try to blame Democrats for what they've just done, this time?
These cuts will have long term and indirect effects (for example, poverty and deprivation lead to increased crime), and the GOP will pretend that it is not caused by their actions.

Texas Republicans are blaming the National Weather Service for their problems, after their party cut funding for it.
They don't take responsibility for their actions, and try to blame someone else.

#DOGE's claimed cuts have dropped to 8% of what they promised, with a huge amount of debunked claimed savings, and "errors" (serious incompetence or lies).
And even what they're still claiming is very dubious, with discrepancies found inc. one a 1000-fold overstated,
