There are two headlines in this story:
- United Airlines employs at least one violent, unstable, and rabidly antisemitic pilot.
- US Homeland Security was more than delighted to detain and harass an Orthodox Jew at the request of said pilot, telling him “You have no rights here.”
…just in case you’re wondering how the fight against antisemitism is going in Trump’s America.
CW on the story: assault, bodily humiliation

@inthehands this is interesting: 'Liebb said when he asked why they were being detained, an officer tightened his handcuffs and responded: “This isn’t county or state. We are homeland. You have no rights here.”'

Utterly bone-chilling.
@inthehands @alter_kaker there can be no discussion, no civility with people who insist you have no rights
