Jewish colleagues I speak with regularly cite Jonathan Greenblatt as one of the most serious threats they face. They're convinced that he is committed to silencing or destroying any Jew who openly criticizes or challenges Benjamin Netanyahu and his war making. And they're correct.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Trump is sending a very clear message: kill or attempt to kill his enemies and you will never see repercussions.
Breaking on MSNBC:
Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

When I was in the Navy, I was ordered to turn fire hoses on Greenpeace protestors while in the Med. This was after the Cole bombing, so some concern was justified.
But I shudder at how fun I thought it was, at 20, to basically play a carnival game with humans standing up for their beliefs.
