Caving on a deal that doesnโt fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. Iโm a NO on anything that doesnโt extend ACA subsidies.
Tokyoโs average annual temperature has increased by about 3.0โฏยฐC from ~1876 to ~2019.

Youโd think after interpreting for artists of all kinds for so many years, I would have figured out a good, all-purpose translation for ใใ ใใ by now since nearly every artist uses it when discussing their art, but you would be wrong.
when i got to oxford they gave the international students an orientation on using the NHS and said that sometimes for dental emergencies, you have to go to a private dentist and that can cost a lot. I asked how much and she said ยฃ40 and I burst out laughing.

A photo of two Jizo-sama from Tenryuji in Arashiyama, Kyoto. The one on left is bald and has long Buddha-like earlobes, signaling his Boddhisatva stage. They both wear the robes of Buddhist monks.
Seeing this photo make rounds as a โShinto Kami.โ
No. This is a photo of two Jizo-sama from Tenryuji in Arashiyama, Kyoto. Theyโre definitely Buddhist, not Shinto.
Due to Haibutsu Kishaku and local practices, a fair few of these roadside protectors were (semi) Shinto-ized, but this one was NOT.

This is the second time Azeen has done this. She still hasn't mentioned the Utah report at all.
Instead of โAlligator Alcatrazโ or โAlligator Auschwitzโ, let me suggest that we call it simply the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp.
Hang the name on Florida. Make them own this disgraceful moment in U.S. history. Make our grandchildren lobby to change the name of Dade County out of shame.
Can confirm this email is authentic โ and about nothing in it is true.
Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that.
Itโs willful disinformation on the part of SSA. Itโs a lie.
and gained a strong interest in that avenue of things, I was so looking forward to someday meeting Dr. Hughes again.
Of course, his impact will live on, in his scholarship, in all the people he taught, and of course in the memories and love of those who knew him. May his memory be a blessing.
I regret not taking his class during my time at SOAS, as I had not yet been turned on to Okinawan Studies, and had nearly zero musical experience. In retrospect, having now taken sanshin lessons in Hawaiสปi, made friends with many ethnomusicologists,
I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Prof. David Hughes, one of the leading Anglophone scholars on traditional Okinawan music, and a kind man.

Jefferies is one of the only Dems speaking up clearly and explicitly against antisemitism without dissembling or playing word games.
Please show Jews the same support you show so wonderfully for so many other minorities. ๐
Damn, all those high fantasy novels were right: evil must be defeated in *every* generation and we must be ever watchful for its return
Lander also provides some excellent Jewish cover for Mamdani's support for ideas like "globalize the intifada" and BDS which promote, encourage, and seek to justify villainization, ostracization, and violence against Jewish people, and eliminating Jewish self-determination in our ancestral homeland.
hi, cis folks!
the GOP put the all-ages trans medicaid ban back in the budget, despite it being struck. they did it to force dems to challenge it on the floor.
if you've been paying attention, you know dems need to hear you want them to actually stand up to the GOP. contact info at reps.fyi ๐งต
1. Today, 200,000 marched in Budapest Pride in defiance of a ban by Orbรกn's far-right government.
It was led by the city's mayor Gergely Karรกcsony, who got around the law by making it an "official city gathering."
He was warned of arrest.
They marched anyway.
