My religious tradition teaches me to love the stranger. This mitzvah is repeated 36+ times in Torah.

Maureen Dowd is so annoying.
The Nuzzi story isn't about an affair, it's about the extraordinary corruption, moral stupidity, and cliquishness of elite media. (From the Feed Me Substack.)

I still have $750 to raise in the next two days. Thank you again to all who have donated and shared so far! Any dollar helps, even just sharing this when you see it.
Reaching out for mutual aid to keep our room for the next week as well as some other expenses. Any dollar helps but sharing and reposting is also extremely beneficial. Really cannot overstate how grateful I am for all the support. I know how rough it is out there. Thank you!

What specific socialist utopia were you denied when Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis failed to be elected president? Show your work.
Got 45 minutes into a LeftTube video before being hit with the both sides-in, “Clinton and Obama moved the Democrats to the right!” and I’m remembering why I stopped bothering with LeftTube.

If you are on X or other platforms rife with antisemites, keep an eye on the word “usury.”
It’s becoming the new popular dog whistle. Very common usage now to imply that Jews are behind the economic problems of the world and the suffering people are going through due to inequality.

I mean it’s kinda true …
The deal with Jewish Currents is that 'I hate Zionism but btw I love being Jewish' people are good and 'I love being Jewish but btw I hate Zionism' people are good but 'my main thing is loving being Jewish and hating Zionism' people are psychodrama cornballs you can't trust

This was handed in for a PSYCH CLASS & when the prof said she didn't use empirical sources but rather submitted op-ed she whined about religious liberty + prof got suspended.
I was a *Religious Studies* major; in my time she would have been rightly BBQ'd had she dared to hand in this absolute drek.

Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.
