CT Jewish leaders denounce new rules for federal security grants Recipients of the nonprofit security grant will be prohibited from DEI programming, staging some boycotts or helping undocumented immigrants.

fun fact: the department of homeland security added restrictions last year to its nonprofit security grants program that help synagogues and other jewish institutions hire security that effectively makes it so that liberal jewish organizations can't qualify

Armed man rammed vehicle into Michigan synagogue and was fatally shot by security, AP source says A man armed with a rifle rammed a vehicle into a major synagogue in a Detroit suburb and was fatally shot by security.

A guy rammed his car through a door at Detroit’s largest synagogue and got out with a gun and was shot by security before he could massacre everyone inside.

And yes all synagogues that can afford it have security. And yes it’s exactly because of situations like this that they do.

Transgender Chili’s manager fired over ‘personal values and lifestyle,’ lawsuit says Exclusive: Hudson Webber claims a store manager said another employee at a different location was being terminated ‘for the same reasons’

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Mar 10 Independent
Chicago Chili's has fired a trans manager who uses they/them pronouns saying it objects to their "personal values and lifestyle" apparently in conflict with S/C's Bostock decision which bans workplace discrimination based on gender identity.

This is good for NYC and the vast majority of people who live here, especially if they create a system for permits for residents.

Facebook post by Nekima Levy Armstrong:

"Friends, A Breaking News headline just appeared in the Star Tribune, claiming that the national Target boycott ended today. This is false. The writer of the story, Carson Hartzog, is fully aware that the Target boycott was launched in Minneapolis on February 1, 2025. I have spoken to her several times since then, yet she failed to reach out to me, Jaylani Hussein, or Monique Cullars Doty, the three founders of the national Target boycott for the story. Carson even used the photo from our press conference that includes my daughter, Assata Joy and Ms. Rosemary Nevils, an elder in our community, to try to add legitimacy to a bogus story. 
I am once again disgusted by the Star Tribune and their attempts to minimize and erase the voices of our community. 
The nationwide Target Boycott is not over, unless and until Target reverses its decision to rollback Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, as we said from the beginning. “Pastor” Jamal Bryant does not speak for us or our community and has zero authority to end the nationwide boycott of Target, a company that is headquartered in Minneapolis. 
Please don’t believe the hype and these attempts to rescue Target from the effects of capitulating to the Trump Administration. Target rolled back DEI because of Donald Trump. They donated $1 million to the Trump/Vance inauguration committee. Target also allowed ICE to stage in its parking lots during Operation Metro Surge.
The nationwide boycott of Target is successful and it will continue. Please continue to shop elsewhere."

IANAL, but if I told a federal judge to hold me in contempt so I could get some sleep while working for DHS IN MINNEAPOLIS I would count myself lucky that I'm not in jail and not run for Congress. IN MINNEAPOLIS.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

This thread is not about whether Platner is a Nazi. It’s about how he lies like a toddler when he’s cornered. And that’s enough. He’s not electable, and Susan Collins knows it. You can too, if you can read this thread, or this 18-page document. 2/

I’m going to keep saying this - nobody gets a Nazi tattoo by accident because shops willing to do Nazi tattoos will chat with you enthusiastically about the Nazi tattoo and you’d be amazed how much Nazi shit can be communicated even when the people in the convo speak different languages

ICE arrested an Oregon shop owner who had her green card in her pocket: ‘They didn’t care’ Juanita Avila later helped expose ICE’s ‘arrest first, justify later’ tactics in a lawsuit that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket.

When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.”

Video + interview with her and her daughter:

Mom's parents owned and operated a neighborhood grocery store/shaved ice shop.

Dad's parents were both social workers at the local Amy hospital. That grandpa was also a WWII army vet.

Got an update from #welovecolors . Though they've blocked the image from being shared or commented on.

They admit to using AI for images (been noted they now have AI slop models on their website) and have no indication of stopping any time soon.

The Paradox of Tolerance
disappears
if you look at tolerance,
not as a moral standard,
but as a social contract.
If someone does not abide by the terms
of the contract, then they are not covered by it.
In other words: The intolerant are not following the
rules of the social contract of mutual tolerance.
Since they have broken the terms of the contract,
they are no longer covered by the contract,
and their intolerance should NOT be tolerated.

Sorry as someone who teaches rhetoric this is a wonderful response
to the Paradox of Tolerance. I cannot tell you how many times my
students have had debates about this. This is the response. This does
indeed fix it. I cannot wait to tell this to my classes now.
Philosophically and rhetorically this completely resolved the Paradox
of Tolerance and I am floored by its simplicity and angry I never saw it
before.

For the first time, we now know how many Black-owned bookstores exist in the U.S. The National Association of Black Bookstores has released the “first comprehensive national report” on the state of America’s Black-owned bookstores.

There has never been an official, comprehensive record of Black-owned bookstores across the United States — until now

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.
