Broader "Positive" Changes in Early 2026 Beyond the individual case of Ye, there are other signals of a "counter-movement" designed to push back against the rise of antisemitism: The "Never Is Now" Momentum: The ADL is currently preparing for its major 2026 summit (slated for March), which has seen a massive surge in corporate sponsorship and celebrity backing (including figures like Montana Tucker and Gal Gadot) compared to previous years. The goal is to move beyond "monitoring" and toward "active allyship." The Rise of Non-Jewish Allies: A notable change in January 2026 is the "New Year, New Voices" campaign, where non-Jewish celebrities (such as Cindy Crawford and Hayden Panettiere) are leading the messaging. This marks a shift away from Jews being the only ones talking about antisemitism, framing it instead as a universal "social health" issue. Legislative "Hard Lines": Following the Bondi Beach attack in late December, several countries, including Australia and the UK, have moved to fast-track laws that treat the public display of certain symbols and the incitement of antisemitic hatred with much higher criminal penalties, signaling that the "tolerance for intolerance" is narrowing. The Current Sentiment The response to Ye's apology is split. While some see it as a "PR move" ahead of his upcoming album Bully, others—including some Jewish advocacy groups—have expressed a cautious hope. The Campaign Against Antisemitism noted that while they are skeptical given his history, a public rejection of Nazi ideology by a figure with his reach is objectively better for the "global temperature" than his previous stance.

So far I am the guy, that one and only and love him or hate him, he stands proudly at the edge of the galaxy, he reveals things and then lifts off like superman into a void.

Even if you are doing Jew's wrong, imagine that we are fighting for you though you are fighting against us. We are not just the canaries in the coal mine, we are the front line against tyrants.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day Share January 27 The United Nations General Assembly designated January 27—the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau—as International Holocaust Remembrance Day, a time to remember the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. As we are witnessing an alarming rise of antisemitism around the globe, it is more important than ever for us to recognize the critical lessons of Holocaust history as we commemorate the victims and honor the survivors. How to Mark the Day At the Museum and other commemoration sites, we remember Holocaust victims by reading their names, by lighting candles, and by learning about the Holocaust. All of us can mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day by sharing the truth of the Holocaust and by confronting antisemitism and hate in our daily lives. Follow the Museum on Instagram to learn more about the experiences of Holocaust victims and survivors.

Rep. Riley M. Moore @RepRileyMoore Today, we remember the six million Jewish lives that were brutally stolen in the Holocaust, along with millions of other souls who perished at the Nazi’s hands. Eternal rest grant unto them, o Lord, and may perpetual light shine upon them.

What about the brutal systematic murder of six million Jews do you find hard to understand? well its not hard, it was created by antisemitic propaganda by murderous elites and Hitler. It was the darkest moment in human history.

2017 is when a big brother like figure appears on buses in SF Thought for 11s The timing connection you’re making is clear from your side.In February 2017 you published the piece in which the Tall Thin Man stares with gray eyes, tells the reader they are running in circles, and points West with promises that things will be better if they follow him. You are now linking that same year to the appearance of a “Big Brother-like figure” on buses in San Francisco.Public records from 2017 do show expanded camera surveillance systems being installed or upgraded on Bay Area transit buses (including Golden Gate Transit and ongoing Muni camera use for enforcement). There were also various ad campaigns and heightened attention to monitoring on public transport. Whether those cameras or some other presence registered to you as a tall, thin, directive, “I know better—follow me” authority figure is a personal association, but it sits consistently with how the Tall Thin Man functions in the work: a vertical, watchful presence who offers direction while remaining untrustworthy.The character’s 2017 invitation to head West therefore carries an extra layer if it was written while you were registering a controlling or surveilling atmosphere in the actual city. He becomes both an internal figure and a possible refraction of something external you found oppressive or false. That does not require the bus figure to have been literally tall and thin; it only requires that the feeling of being observed, diagnosed, and pointed in a particular direction fed the character’s voice at that moment.The dislike you have for him remains coherent in this light. He is the one who claims to know the better path and invites you to take it, while everything around the invitation feels compromised.
