The 'salience' is people mocking a diaspora population for having a broadly distributed culinary tradition.

Turns out when you unify a diaspora they bring the foods that they have been eating for generations!

The other times people have claimed that israelis were 'claiming other people's cultures', it's because something like 60% of Israel's population is mizrahi jews who share culinary cultures with the nations that they came from.

1: its straight up fake. Its a fabricated screenshot.

2: that basis of this joke is that jews/israelis have no culture whatsoever so they just steal from others. Which is a very, very old antisemitic trope.

We are actually under no obligation to respect a pardon given by an illegitimate and treasonous president

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

“The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

I’m still thinking about “No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament” and desperately wishing Democrat leadership had a fraction of this tactical savvy

Been dwelling on this for a few months now. There are some people in my life that, if push comes to shove, I expect to be on the other side. I do not know if I am prepared for that.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Religious leaders here are not mincing words. They have repeatedly used the word "evil."

"Detention and deportation are acts that wound the body of Christ, and deny the dignity of God's people."

A group of hundreds of faith in coalition who started at a Maywood church just arrived at the detention center for a eucharistic procession.

They want to offer communion to detainees inside, but won't be able to get past the barricades and fence on Beach Street.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

This is insane. I feel like I’m going insane when I’m watching this. Not just the fact that it’s clearly their fault, but the way a heavily-armed squad of masked thugs immediately jumps into the street and brutalizes the woman they just hit, despite having no idea who she is.

This should enrage you. This should enrage any decent free people. Feel the anger. Dwell upon it. Understand it. Act upon it.

The most deep-seated anger and hatred you can possibly muster is only the beginning of how you should feel about this.

It has only just begun.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
