If you have a uterus and you live in the UK, it's time to update your threat model to include police testing you for the presence of abortion meds and requesting data from period-tracking apps: https://www.tortoisemedia.com/2023/10/30/british-police-testing-women-for-abortion-drugs/

The #antisemitism directed at American Jews isn't only vile but it's also totally misplaced. Overwhelming majorities of us oppose settlements and favor the creation of a Palestinian state. Most of us hate Bibi and this Israeli gov. Israel ranks as our 10th most important issue, out of 14, in J Street polling.

It's fucking maddening. But I guess it's always the case that "dumb bigot" is redundant.

#GunSafety vs #BookBans

A friend of mine is having a hard time wrapping his head around the fact that a lot of white Evangelicals are both personally antisemitic and also staunch supporters of #Israel.

Walled gardens, lock in, anti-interoperability, etc.

Makes me laugh every time I think of Satya Nadella testifying against Google in the DOJ Search antitrust action.

The House GOP would only propose this if they (a) don't understand how adding works (b) want to see massive increases in US debt and deficits and/or (c) believe their God-given purpose as a member of Congress is to make the world safer for tax cheats. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2023/10/30/house-gop-demands-irs-budget-cuts-pay-israel-aid/

Matthew Perry knew all anyone would talk about when he passed would be ‘Friends.’ But he wanted you to know he built a house for sobriety in Malibu and always tried to help alcoholics and addicts. He wanted to be remembered for that first.

Antisemitism is predicted by anti-hierarchical aggression, totalitarianism, and belief in malevolent global conspiracies

Spend a lot of time sleeping because I just can't deal with reality.

Not interested in blaming you for not voting. And -- yes -- Biden may get hammered at the polls for war crimes.

That said, it is NOT up to them to earn your vote. You (and all if us) have a gun to our collective heads called the Repub Fascist Party.

We will vote for Biden or else.

It is not a matter of anyone earning our votes, it's a matter of what party will hurt us least.

I'm being threatened with eviction. Please share as widely as possible.

Way too many people don't get that christian dominionism is an apocalyptic accelerationist doctrine VERY LITERALLY SEEKING to hasten their vision of the Biblical end of the world.

That is not hyperbole or misinterpretation or a joke.

And they have VERY CAREFULLY worked their way into the halls of U.S. power.

Mike Johnson as speaker in THIS moment is almost everything these "End Times" cheerleaders could have wanted, and I genuinely believe that there needs to be an internal audit and then reinforcement and potential reorganization of the president and vice president's secret service details.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

“Sorry, could you repeat that? I couldn’t hear you over the sound of all those bone saws.”

#ChristianNationalists pose a threat to democracy

I don’t support a cent for #Israel unless #Ukraine gets funded as well.

It not even entirely clear why Israel needs aid at this point. Their economy is not being systematically destroyed by a greater power, nor is their campaign critical to US national security.
