Such an amazing mixed doubles final. Sad that it didn’t end in gold for Cory and Korey, but good match by Sweden.

So what should one make from the instances where they booed athletes? I’d guess that means they have a problem with the people, not just the government.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Unpopular opinion: Electing people by plurality, rather than a runoff until someone has a majority, is ridiculous.

Interesting that the statute the government is relying on is also the one that restricts certain acts at abortion clinics and uses almost identical language.
It’s going to make for real interesting case law bedfellows.

The Nazis murdered millions of innocent Jews.
Would you tell a Holocaust survivor that the regime that killed her entire family were “better” because they did it without a mask?
And if not, why are you saying it on television for laughs?

When a Jewish person is discussing the Jewish lived experience and/or Jewish history, coming into their mentions to tell them “religion is bullshit” is vile. Being an atheist doesn’t mean you have to be an asshole. And it also it diminishes Jewish ethnoreligous peoplehood which is irrelevant to that

Today, on this Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jews and five million other “undesirables” that were victims of systematic and industrialized mass murder.
May their memories always be a blessing and may those who will still can’t name live forever in our hearts.

But not only is this so-called Zionist article mainly just a plea for peace and a two-state solution… IT'S NOT EVEN FROM THE RIGHT SYNAGOGUE. It's from a different Beth Israel, in Texas.

Yes, I know this is insane, but can we discuss for a minute how unconstitutional it is for the President to claim that he’s going to control these purported government funds without Congress, the holder of the purse?

Ah yes. It’s really “the Jews.” Nevermind that Hezbollah and the Houthis were either immediately firing missiles at Israel and Iran’s “ring of fire” plan was being implemented with their consultation. It’s “da Joos.”
Totally ignoring the “precedent” for this was Bush’s invasion of Panama.

As we all said, international law, such as it was, no longer exists. The United States, following Israel’s precedent, considers itself to have the explicit authority to blatantly violate sovereignty anywhere in the world and abduct even leaders of other states.
There are no guardrails whatsoever.
