I have been dismayed by how the loudest voices in support of Palestinians are employing overtly anti-Semitic language and tropes, or quickly devolved to them when pressed -- even here.
So, I am sharing Jewish Voices for Peace for anyone who wants a real authority on the protests against Israel.

We're fighting to stop a genocide. Slanders against our movements are a distraction. - JVP
As the largest anti-Zionist Jewish organization in the world, we unequivocally reject the conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism and reaffirm in the strongest terms that there is no place for antisemitism in our movements.

President Biden’s message to the press: The defeated former president has made no secret of his attack on our democracy. He said he wants to be a dictator on day one, promised a ‘bloodbath’ when he loses again, and so much more.

All of this. When I was an elite athlete, all of Texas thought I was a man when I traveled there to compete -- simply because I was strong and tall and had short hair. Trans hate is a tool to enforce gender norms for everyone. Trans rights are our rights.
AngelMiru @AngelMiruWe have been saying from the beginning that this toxic trans hate is going to hurt cisgender women. Trans hate is based in misogyny.03:25 PM - Apr 27, 2024

Fighting For Democracy! @CharmDA Karen Sandra "Do you know who I am" Doorley received a speeding ticket in her hometown of Webster, NY and while the Officer was pulling her over, in a rage she called the chief of police himself to complain. She refused to stop and drove to her house. "I didn't feel like stopping." 🤬01:39 PM - Apr 27, 2024

*Because the OP I was commenting on here didn't intend to troll I'm editing out the "ridiculous question" comment. BUT actual "just asking questions" trolls have done a lot damage and never offer a legit alternative.

I'm not afraid to say what I know others are thinking.
We're way past the point of asking stupid questions. You're doing nothing but shit-stirring and when you do this, you're part of the problem.
Also, Biden isn't running Israel. Stop it.

The Wildcat Roar event went off pretty smoothly.. Not sure if the very kind folks at the finish line were being honest, but apparently I came in third in the 5K.
Not bad for an old guy that's pushing 50 (and not say what direction I am pushing it from).

I ran my hand over my scalp as an interruption, breaking the spell that the victim's horror story had cast on me. As I did so, my client #cringed , reflexively shrinking from an expected attack.
There is a special place in hell for the person that had done this to him.

It is stunning, enraging, and frightening that this Supreme Court even took this case. The level of corruption seems akin to the SC that dismantled Reconstruction. Are we doomed to keep replaying the same fucking playbook again and again?

For the very first time ever when assigned to cover a hearing
I had to walk away from the SCOTUS hearing for a few minutes today
It is incredible that this court even decided to take this up
But that they could be considering 'remanding' it back to Chutkan is just toxic #Corrupt

This right here. Taxpayers aren't paying for the loan forgiveness. The borrowers already paid their debt and then some.

It's been more years than I care to think about since I last ran a 5K, but this seems like a good way to spend a Saturday morning. If anyone is interested, the website is www.tbtntucson.wixsite.com... - the flyer has a typo.
I may not be quick any longer, but I will be present.

The sound was incessant, #drip , drip, drip. They were viciously timed, the plunks coming just often and loudly enough to break attempts to sleep. He was about to wrench the faucet off the sink when sanity returned. He wrapped a rag around the faucet leaving a tail hanging to the drain.

I'm going to laugh quietly at the incongruity. I am having dinner at the sports/biker bar down the road from my house, after spending all afternoon analyzing the Ind-Pak conflict over Kashmir. I am sitting with the roughnecks while chatting here about book habits, and this feels perfectly normal.

The principle's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Please ask Mr. Smith to come down here for a #chat ." Something about his tone of voice made "chat" synonymous with "an agonizing horrifically painful eternity," and offered no expectation that Mr. Smith had any discretion in the matter.

Absolutely! I almost always have several things to read on hand, even at the beach. My travel kit tends to be determined by what I'm doing, but I'll admit that I tend to overpack. Have and not need and a lot of bitter experience, yanno. ;->
Drea @DreaVilleneuveWe'd get along so well - though I 'MAY' lug a book bag to the beach. 😂 I tend to travel light - including books.09:57 PM - Apr 24, 2024
