“The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’” - Isaac Asimov

Hillary Clinton, former President Obama, & First Lady Michelle Obama warned voters about the Supreme Court being lost for generations.. losing access to abortions, being unable to vote, or marry interracially, & other rollbacks that we are seeing them give to religious nuts

I’m trying really to write intelligently about #antisemitism . It’s hard because it’s both a conspiracy theory and one of the most acceptable forms of bigotry in lefty circles. And no, I don’t mean *informed* critique of the Israeli govt. Unfortunately information and nuance aren’t cool.

Chag Pesach Sameach. 💙💙💙. Unfortunately plagues of injustice still blight the land, thus “ it is not your duty to complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it.” - Rabbi Tarfon. He lived ~46 CE - 117 CE and his words are true today as they were then. #pesach

Both articles of impeachment were dismissed. Whoopsie doodle.
04:35 PM - Apr 17, 2024
Yes, and don't forget it was the GOP who killed the immigration deal that Senator Lankford helped to craft with the Dems, and Biden said he would sign it. This impeachment attempt actually a failure of the entirety of the GOP.

Yes, this is all truth. Remember, the GOP/MAGA fucks killed the border bill that Biden would have signed.

My Flying Car 2020 @Flying2020Out here wasting all this time worrying about impeaching Mayorkas to support their Mad Max beyond Thunderdome border lies for the orange fascist. Whole time they coulda been using that very energy actually improving the border situation, and/or ANYTHING AT ALL for the US. Do-nothing ass bums. 🙄05:22 PM - Apr 17, 2024

After being pestered to watch #tedlasso finally did. My big takeaway, I have my first TV crush - Roy Kent. It’s lovely to see Jewish actor play an athlete with a complicated emotional history. No neurotic Allen-esque nonsense. Thank you Brett Goldstein for breaking type. 💙💙💙

RobPalmerIRL (he/him/his) @RobPalmerIRLA Civics lesson. The President of the United States cannot do anything unilaterally when it comes to founds appropriate by congress (even if it was before his term). He must disperse those founds for their intended use. Also the President cannot unilaterally halt arms sales.07:50 PM - Apr 14, 2024

That's why shit starters try to break the BBIMP and Jewish coalition. They know these two groups will come out to vote and vote hard.

Per, Times of Israel, in 2024, 73% of Jews identify as moderate or liberal Democrats. We are also ~2% of the population and turnout at about 80%.

Intergenerational friendships are one the reasons I’m able to stay sane and grounded. #elder members of the community have so much to teach us. Three of my closest friends are over 80. I’m so grateful to belong to a tradition and community that honors the ones came before us. #shabbatshalom

The only lesson Democrats will learn from young voters who don’t show up is that their concerns shouldn’t be taken seriously. Decisions are made by those who show up. If you can’t be bothered, don’t complain. #bidenharris2024

One of the weirdest and worst classic L&O classic episodes ever is called 3 Dawg Night and it guest stars #idriselba and #kerrywashington . The are both bigger stars than entire opening cast credits. Just saw in the background doing laundry. The #eclipse is upon us!

I remember this. I was 11 years old. My parents were horrified by the police action but not surprised. We have not made much progress since this time. Police still shoot us down in the streets like animals with little to no consequences.

It’s Sikh Heritage Month! Celebrate by learning about this wonderful group of people. There are over 26 million Sikhs worldwide with the largest population in India. Outside of India the largest populations can be found in the U.K. and Canada. Each has Sikh populations of over half a million people.

Revisiting 90s cultural products reminds me of how political healthcare has been. #hivaidsawareness #abortion #mandatoryminimums . It affects everything from who can qualify for HUD, who can vote and who is seen as fully human and not. Universal healthcare will never fix those inequities.

Listen y'all, let's concentrate on stuff within our control (voting blue, in all local, state, and national elections) and leave the stuff outside of our control alone. Trust me I know it's frustrating, but we have to keep boring through.

Getting a bit tired of people who don't have law degrees making statements about legal decisions when they don't quite know what they're talking about.
What you understand a thing to mean isn't necessarily what it means IN LEGAL TERMINOLOGY.
