The Roman province was called Judea, not “Palestine.” The designation “Syria Palaestina” was introduced only in 135 CE, more than 100 years after Jesus’ death. The modern Palestinian national identity emerged in the 20th century, particularly after the end of the Ottoman Empire.

You know how fucking sickening it is to have to sit here and watch people co-opt Anne Frank for their own toxic stew of 21st century identity politics and antisemitism?

No other American minority group has to put up with this relentless bullshit.

Just hours after the antisemitic massacre in Australia, hatred resurfaced once again, this time in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where a Hanukkah celebration was disrupted by violent anti-Israel extremists.

The victims of the Sydney attack include a 10-year-old child and an 87-year-old elder.

That tells you everything about what happened.

This was indiscriminate violence, carried out with the intent to murder anyone in sight

BREAKING: Israel announced that one of the victims murdered in today’s terror attack at Bondi Beach was Israeli.

Before the excuses arrive about “anti Zionist resistance,” remember this. Bullets do not distinguish between Jews. They never have.

This is why I support freedom of expression.

Appropriately, it is the chaos of a system that supports free speech that gives rise to the grand process of democratic self-governance and the ideally upward arc of human progress and flourishing.

In 2022, Biden earmarked billions of dollars to help former coal communities. It was the largest investment in Appalachia since LBJ's 1960s’ war on poverty.

But Trump won West Virginia 70% to 28% in 2024. And now he's taking away the funding Biden gave them.

When are they going to learn?

You know, apropos of nothing in particular, and although I haven't researched it yet, I strongly suspect that a president starting a foreign war to distract from his extensive ties with child sex traffickers is probably a high crime or misdemeanor under the Constitution's impeachment clauses.

Straight-up sociopath.

Asked about a Guard member who’s dead because of his bullshit and it takes him 30 seconds to make it all about how great he is.
Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?

TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Some conspiracy theories are adjacent to the truth. Many are bad answers to good questions. But people who assume conspiratorial explanations are correct by default are deeply deranged and the more influence such people have over a society, the more deranged that society will be.

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF

For what it’s worth, as a commander and officer it was my duty, moral obligation, and legal requirement to first question and then to not obey any illegal order I was given.

The same is true for everyone who swear their oath.

Hope that clears things up.

Whole lot of people who claim to be capable of recognizing antisemitism in right wingers name checking Soros can't seem to grasp this.
I actually don’t happen to care for AIPAC’s tactics the past few cycles but they’re far from the largest PAC in the country and I’m getting a little pissed off at them being made into the George Soros Boogyman of the far left.

Mind-blowing.

This AP reporter tells how deceptive media practices are being used to skew the truth of the conflict.
For going on 2 years people said loudly, you are being fed information from a terrorist organization. A lot of you decided to negate the truth and lean into your antisemitism.

We’re five years into the pandemic, and the science is telling a very different story than “just a cold.” COVID affects blood vessels, organs, metabolism, and cognition — and the impacts compound with each infection.

There is no one right way to learn, and the only wrong way is to actively refuse to learn.

Good teaching requires that the teacher internalize that, and work to accommodate as wide a range of learning styles as is reasonably possible.
