Truly excellent job, DKos. Thank you. [1]

So this is short and sweet, and an open note to DKos paid staff and community authors alike.
About two months ago, I made a post about antisemitism on the left, and people ignoring or excusing it or not recognizing the tropes and letting it slide by. As expected, I got a lot of Jews agreeing, a couple not, some Christians agreeing, a couple of atheists agreeing, and a pie fight.
(Speaking of pie, if anyone has a really good recipe for a strawberry cream pie, I’m dying for one and nobody in Arizona sells them. Hit me up?)
BUT.
Even among people who disagreed in the moment, I’m seeing more people recognizing and calling out both blatant antisemitism and dogwhistles when they write articles and diaries, and I’m seeing fewer of them in comments.
I know it wasn’t just me. There were several similar diaries around that time. But y’all took the message to heart.
Please keep at it. The right is more blatant, but the left has biases to unlearn too, and that doesn’t happen if we shove our dirty laundry under the rug (to mix two great metaphors). Speaking about it in an atmosphere where we can encourage and teach each other is important.
And thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
