more folks on the left are okay with extremely antisemitic rhetoric than I would like and that’s all I’m going to say about that because I do not trust this website on the subject

replies extra limited for the same reason

If you're still mad about Suozzi voting for more DHS funding & his "apology" that didn't mention the names of any of the people who died before his vote, please consider donating to his primary challenger (me.)

Invest in a representative who represents you instead of Palantir.

This episode is an absolutely essential listen. The bombing of the school in Iran was not an "error" in any way. It was the end result of an array decisions made by an administration of war criminals.

Half of US broadcast network dramas are about cops Perhaps one reason why America’s national reckoning on police brutality took so long to arrive is because TV is conditioning its citizens to view cops as reliable heroes.

β€œJews are overrepresented in the media.”

No, no, no, you’re thinking of cops. Cops are overrepresented in the media.

The reality is the answer is NO to any question. It’s a pretext for a generalized all-purpose NO because Republicans are done with allowing voting altogether.

Yes, that’s the real problem, the press is reporting too much on the bad things that are happening.

America is a great place to visit and most Americans are very nice, outgoing people. However, if you are considering visiting the US from a foreign country right now, you have rocks in your head.

Yesterday I commented on a friend's recent haircut and he was flattered that I was one of few who'd noticed but what really happened was that I'm not very good with faces and so when I saw him and his hair was different it took me a while to work out that he wasn't a new person I'd never met before

I do not regret to inform you that WE ARE WINNING.

Digging through old photos and came across this shot of a young hyena pup taken in South Africa. Despite their reputation, they're pretty amazing animals. #wildlife #hyena

We need both: expanded funding for physical security (like the measures that helped keep the Temple Israel preschoolers safe) AND whole-of-government policies that build resiliency to hate and extremism in the first place.

Nitrogen, Ammonia, and the Strait of Hormuz

Excellent primer on nitrogen fertilizer and why it's produced in the Gulf.

And why Trump's war is damaging world agriculture.

My teen, who had dreamt of being an astrophysicist, just told me he wants to go to law school because, β€œScience isn’t going to be a priority in the US in the future…I don’t want a job where I’ll be constantly worried my funding will be taken away.”

Gutting. How many future scientists have we lost?

I'm sorry ma'am, but your son perished on Kharg Island in a valiant effort to create Wii Bowling meme videos for the White House X account. In the face of danger, he was not cringe; he was based to his last breath. Please have this commemorative Epic Fury challenge coin. Yes that's Punisher, ma'am

Haitian immigrant last seen in ICE custodyβ€”found dead on the street 3 days later.

Agents drove her 1 hour away from home for processingβ€”then released without notifying her family.

Her body was found near a bus stop.

Inside the Department of War are two wolves:

"We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting."

"How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

Our local media is doing in-depth reporting of not only the event, but also, how this has affected Jewish and Muslim communities here.

This is why local media matters.

Our local news coverage of the attack on the temple in West Bloomfield is light years ahead of national coverage.

Detroit, Dearborn, and SE Michigan is not utopia. However, there is a very long history of interfaith cooperation here. Many of us mourn for and with our Jewish and Muslim neighbors.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

We are about to embark on a demoralizing multi-month budget season of being told over and over that there’s no money for teachers, nurses, overdose prevention, legal support for immigrants, and the like … but sure $200k in police grants for riot gear, spyware, and overtime is a layup.

"Because of nukes, right?"
"No, because we decided logistics was woke."
