Hi tumblr. I haven’t been on you in a long time and I’ve no idea if people still use you much.
Q:I want to be convinced, I really do, but I just see as much danger, long term, with voting for Hillary. If we give in to the guilt trips and fear-mongering, we are sending them the message that their tactics work. That they can abuse us and silence us and we'll still fall in line. That all they have to do is hold up a right-wing boogieman and we'll come to heel. If we vote for her without any real change in the way things are run, liberals will be no better off in 2020. Convince me, please.
If it was anyone other than Trump, I’d agree with you. Trump is that dangerous, and the movement he is leading is that destructive.
Someone who is a GOP writer, I forget who, said something like, “Hillary is wrong about everything, but she’s wrong within acceptable parameters. Trump is wrong about everything and truly dangerous.”
Now, I don’t agree that she’s wrong about everything, but she’s wrong about some things that are important, like Iraq and her embrace of neoconservative foreign policy.
But Trump is a clear and real threat to America and the world in a way we haven’t seen in almost 100 years.
This isn’t about tactics and rewarding a system that is gross and really needs to be changed. This is about stopping not just Donald Trump, but all the white supremacists and radical right wing nationalists he’s leading.
And remember that we can still exert influence in Congress, and at the state and local level.
And and AND remember that Reagan inflicted Scalia on us for OVER THIRTY YEARS. Who the hell knows what kind of whackjob Tump and Pence would nominate to SCOTUS? I doubt Clinton will nominate someone who is liberal enough for me, but I know with absolute certainty that she will nominate justices who won’t be a catastrophic nightmare.
This election is about so much more than Clinton vs. Trump. This is about what we want America to be, and who we want to lead it. We don’t have the luxury of waxing philosophical about tactics and sending messages. We must defeat and destroy Donald Trump and the movement he leads.
This white woman’s shocking account of police brutality reveals the importance of the #BlackLivesMatter movement
Molly Suzanna shared a story on Facebook that she had never told before: when she was 19, she ran a red light while crying, then was pulled over and forcefully removed and beaten by a police officer. She explains in the letter that she believes her situation would have been even worse had she been black — and she ends the letter with an important call to action.

ok look i know its not comic canon but ever since i found out pietro and wanda were jewish (back when all i knew was x-men evolution) i’ve wanted them to be buds with kitty pryde
we are several years a couple of movies and so many comics past that point but, i still want it
the maximoffs are jewish mutants and need to have jewish mutant seders with kitty that is all bYe
Headcanon that Magneto “kidnaps” all Jewish mutants - and probably several Jewish non-mutant heroes for a Seder every year, because he knows it’s the only way they’ll be able to make the time for it, since there’s villains attacking every two seconds.
The Avengers and X-men track down their missing teammates roughly around the time of “Chad Gadya”.
I would read this comic
R-who-is-not-on-Tumblr and I have QUESTIONS
Does using a mutant power count as work? Is it enough to not actively use your power, or would really Orthodox mutants look for a temporary suppressant?
Who would be the Shabbos non-Jew for Magneto? I mean, Charles, obviously, back in the day, but now? Pyro, maybe? 99.9% sure Nightcrawler would be there for Kitty.
Would creating this as a LARP be as amazing as I think?
Don’t forget Ben Grimm in your Jewish Marvel Characters group.
When did this blow up
anyway Kurt is def the Shabbos goy for Kitty bc Kitty is the guardian of whatever he gives up for Lent
Magneto probably got Toad to do that during the brotherhood days but who knows
Ben Grimm is the uncle who hides the afikoman in the same place every year
anyway if someone does the art I’ll write this marvel hire me
Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes talking post-mission stuff when suddenly, Bucky’s metal arm points upwards and he winds up being carried away. The last thing he hears Bucky yell before he disappears into the sky behind Magneto is “I RSVP’d this year, Magnus! This really isn’t - “
“It’s tradition that I kidnap you, Barnes. And after all, tonight is all about tradition!”
i have just been informed moon knightis also jewish so i will be reading all his comics immediately
anyway imagine patrilineal bobby drake mind his own business doing x-men business like teaching kids how to kill things with their powers when suddenly
nYOOOOOOM
and he’s gone
on the ground there’s a note like
“you’re invited to the maximoff family seder 5776, please RSVP and indicate preferred method of kidnapping”
and there are little boxes next to options like “reality portal” “speedster pickup” “metal”did someone say they need a rromani jewish artist?
SUP GUYSyou me wombatking lets make this happen
Dr. Walter Langkowski drops by from Canada. No one bats an eyelash when the 8-foot-tall Sasquatch walks in. It’s not even in the top ten bizarre things that happen when Magneto hosts his annual seder.
If this actually becomes a comic I will buy 20. I know a lot of people I need to gift it to.
it’s almost passover, i’m bringing this shiz back
ok but I want to know more about how Magneto leads the Seder
is his style “mumblerush through all the liturgical text as fast as possible and skip bits if everyone is bored” or “every single word gets read aloud and translated since most of us don’t know a lot of Hebrew” or “find a new variant text every year to keep things interesting” or what
does he pick individuals at the table to take turns reading aloud (and assign the bit about the Wicked Son to whoever he’s most annoyed with at the moment)
is there singing
Um. This is fairly obvious, I think. There’s a tradition of leftist seders, of feminist seders, of stonewall seders. A family we regularly did a seder with at least two years out of three had half the wobblie songbook at the back of their hagadah.
Magneto would run a MUTANT SEDER. It would have a lot of the liturgy, but not all and not strictly (no one is going to argue Magnus is particularly observant) but it would also have a lot of sidenotes about the oppression and coming liberation of the Mutants. A reading about Genosha-as-Mitzrayim. A genetic sample on the seder plate. A reading about inviting all mutants in to come eat and how Eliyahu is probably masquerading as a Morlock with teleportation powers. Very pointed shade thrown at En Sabah Nur. “If he had destroyed Master Mold and not returned the Phoenix Force Dayyenu If he had returned the Phoenix Force and not restarted mutant births Dayyenu.”
Moon Knight is, of course, always embarrassed during the seder. He’s Jewish, but he’s also the champion of an Egyptian god, so he’s very conflicted about the liturgy, especially the plague of darkness, which seems to offend the patron of travelers-by-night.
Billy brings Teddy, and they’re both happy to be there, but they don’t sit near Wanda – he just can’t deal sometimes and neither can she.
This – not Christmas, not any other day of the year – is the one day nobody starts shit. After all. We have literally seen God in the Marvel Context and He’s LITERALLY JEWISH.
(full disclosure: I may have been hoping someone would go there)
Attempts to retell the Pesach story descending into actual physical brawls over whether Moses was a mutant, tho.
This is Elijah’s favorite seder. He actually drinks his entire cup of wine.
(Someone tell me the invisible dude who travels around the world to every fucking Pesach dinner party isn’t a mutant. I will fight you.)

My kid cousin, all of 11 years old, called me up sobbing today. I had about 50 horrifying reasons popping up in my head when he stopped crying enough to ask one question
“Cap’s not Hydra, right?”
A bit of background on why this made sense to me: My cousin was 3 when me and my brother bought him a cute Captain America hoodie. He was 5 when he first caught sight of his dad’s comic collection. He was 8 when he insisted on dressing up as Captain America for a contest at school. He was 9 when he first got bullied and his mom used Captain America as a symbol to tell him to always be kind in strength, to know that he was a better person. He got his Marvel encyclopedia last year for his birthday and every time we meet, me and him have hours long discussions on the characters. His favorite Avenger is Iron Man but he has always been and will always be a Cap’s boy. Steve Rogers has helped him appreciate his own strengths, has helped him understand that being a good person is much more important than being perfect. He got strength from Cap’s stand against bullying, inspiration from Steve’s ability to be kind and caring about the world even in the worst of situations, and most of all motivation to appreciate his own goodness. To him, he was just like Steve Rogers and I’ve seen that kid be so proud of that.
And today he calls me up, shattered and heartbroken, because his ideals, his dreams and convictions of years have been ripped apart. He felt betrayed and lost, because if Cap, his Cap, could be Hydra, a Nazi organization, then did it mean that he was drawing strength from evil all these years?
An eleven year old is questioning his life choices. Nick, still think you’re funny?
My six year old godson is crying in his bedroom right now - his Marvel plastered, Captain America bedsheets and poster covered bedroom - because his hero is a bad-guy and apparently has been all along.
Nick Spencer is such a bad writer that the only way he could think of make his mark on a character like Steve Rogers is to steal the hero from thousands of children.
And if I thought I could find them without having to break out a microscope, I’d gladly do the jail time for punching him in the balls.
Can someone pls send this to nick spencer?

let me explain something
even if this is brainwashing
even if this is just an act
even if this gets retconned
even if this is nothing more than a dumb publicity stunt
it is part of an on-going trend at marvel that shows the appalling lack of respect they have for jewish characters and creators and the bizarre, sickening romanticizing of hydra, a nazi organization.
steve rogers is the creation of two jewish men who took a stand against nazism at a time when it was not popular to do so, and they received many threats for doing so. he was intended to be political; the first thing you see him do is punch hitler in the face. even if this new twist ends up being reversed or made into an elaborate ruse, we now know that marvel is willing to jeopardize this legacy for publicity. they don’t see it as disrespectful to toy around and twist the creation of two jewish men like this.
wanda maximoff and pietro maximoff, the jewish-romani children of holocaust survivors, are actively having their jewish heritage erased by marvel higher ups who say thing like “can you point me to a single story, just one, in which the ‘fact’ that wanda and pietro come from a jewish background is in any way relevant?”. not only this, but their jewish identities are being erased in the mcu and replaced with christian identities (wanda has a cross hanging in her room), while also re-imagining them as hydra nazi volunteers. this from the same mcu that routinely hires jewish actors and actresses and then erases their identities such as with natalie portman, kat dennings, rdj, gwyneth paltrow, and paul rudd; in the cases of some jewish actors like jon berthanal they actively replace his jewish identity with a christian one by making the punisher a (lapsed) catholic.
all the while they continue to glamorize the nazi organization hydra, playing up the meme status of “hail hydra”, having their employees wear hydra merch and describe themselves as hydra in their twitter bios. they even released a comic about an agent of hydra, intended to be a comedy, slice of life thing. you were intended to feel bad for hank, the protagonist, because he just saw it as a job and joined because of the tough economy, ignoring the fact that this was the case for many real world nazis as well. magneto, a jewish holocaust survivor, was villainized and basically held responsible for endangering the world because he attempted to kill the red skull, a nazi who was setting up new concentration camps. it was also the title in which his paternal relationship with wanda and pietro was erased. the series name was axis.
this is not cute. this is not the type of stuff that can or should be ignored. this is just further proof of a seriously alarming trend going on at marvel, where they think flirting with nazi organizations is fun and ignoring and actively erasing the identities of jewish characters and the contributions of jewish creators is okay. do. not. ignore. this.
