Slate let me write about Sam Alito. Who was I to say no? https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/10/samuel-alito-wants-racial-gerrymander-south-carolina.html

So numerous brands are giving up on Threads by Instagram, allegedly due to lack of engagement 😂 BBC Gives Up On Threads (By Instagram), Sticks With Mastodon https://darnell.day/bbc-gives-up-on-threads-by-instagram-sticks-with-mastodon

We would be greatful if you could amplify our voice & let your followers know that the Auschwitz Memorial is present in #fediverse: @auschwitzmuseum

Every day we commemorate the victims & educate about the tragic human history of #Auschwitz.

Auschwitz is a place that shows where hatred, antisemitism and contempt for a fellow man led people decades ago.

It is also a place where we should reflect on our individual and collective responsibility for the world we live in.

A reminder that when someone chooses to be a jerk/troll in your mentions, don't argue. Just block and move on.

After absentee ballots were counted, my friend who lost their city assembly seat to a MAGA type by five votes ended up winning by one vote! Glad I voted lol

As many of you here, and as all of you who have met or worked with me, know, I am an Israeli.

I’m also a life long peace activist for Israel-Palestine.

Unfortunately, MANY of you have taken the last few days to attack me, call me a murderer, lecture me about the world I grew up and lived in for 35+ years of my life, dare to speak down to me and over me, erase my history and lifelong dedication for Palestinian rights, and even wished me to die.

Others of you have taken the opportunity to call me an antisemite, a race traitor, a horrible person, a hypocrite, a terrorist, and erase my history and lifelong dedication to Jewish life and making Israel a better place to live.

Yet, VERY FEW of you have asked how I am. How is my family? How are my friends? How are YOU?

Well, no. I have my family & friends in deep crisis. Many have lost their own other family and friends, parents, siblings, kids and lovers - some by bullets, others by fire, others by kidnapping. A comrade of mine lost his parents. An other had their 16 year old son taken into Gaza. Too many people I know or am connected to have been murdered or taken. And I use the word murder, not killed, because sleeping civilians in their home or at a party are not military combattants. Babies aren’t targets.

I also have Palestinian friends who have lost families in Gaza from the bombs currently falling from IDF planes. My heart aches for them too as theirs does for me.

But many of you only care about death when one side fits your own narrative and unformed and ignorant beliefs.

So no, I’m not OK. I’m not OK at all.

Will you reblog this? Hey awesome people. I'm still not so okay, really overwhelmed with the situation in Israel and my parents being evacuated and right next to where everything happened. I'm taking everything in, overwhelmed and struggling to function. I still make jewelry and music and hoping to get back to normality asap. Since I wasn't actively promoting I'm also not making almost any income lately. I set a 30% off sale in everything in my shop hoping it'll help.

instead of buying the shitty Amazon sale, get 10% off my shop with coupon code HOLIDAY23, the deepest discount code I'll run this year. https://www.nora.jewelry/

Sweden is upgrading it's tanks

"THE REPUBLICANS WHO CONTROL the House of Representatives cannot respond to a new war waged against Israel. They have rejected new aid to support Ukraine in its defense against the Russian invasion. They have no plan to keep the government from shutting down on November 17 when funding next runs dry. …

Republicans are increasingly untethered from reality."

~ A.B. Stoddard

what good is a congress filled Lauren Boberts & Marjorie Taylor Greens?

what good is a union of states with 50 Sarah Huckabees as governors?

the United States doesn't just need more women in Congress and as governors.

the United States needs more #antifa ANTI-FASCIST women in Congress and as governors.

there is no good in gender equality when all the women are expected to uphold the capitalist, white supremacist patriarchy known as American Fascism.

Pay attention to the well-funded voter suppression efforts being organized for this year’s Virginia’s legislative elections. My team is on the ground to counteract their efforts. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/11/us/politics/virginia-election-integrity-activists.html
