The last two years have been hell. Pure hell. Being unfriended, unfollowed, and blocked for what--screaming for the hostages to be released. I don't know what this next year will bring but I do know this: those who showed me their true colors as antisemitic bigots have lots of teshuvah to perform.

Has he already spoken or is that a treat we can look forward to?

The hugging crack comes from a thought I couldn’t dispel in my youth that Hitler’s mom probably hugged him a lot and said he could be whatever he dreamt.

You’re completely right. And this is coming from someone who has three therapy appointments a week.

Hamas appears to be preparing to exact vengeance on those opposed to its rule in Gaza. This will come in the form of mafia-like murders of those Hamas claims are “collaborators.”

Hamas will target clans and groups that have shown opposition to the terror group - it will also target those that have worked with Israel, or who it accuses of working with Israel.

Oh no. This is not prosperity gospel. It's his ancestral Lutheranism, which says of human beings that "there was no ‘congruity’ or work performed before grace, but only wrath, sin, terror, and death."

Honest question: how does this compete with prosperity gospel theology?

Wouldn’t his success and riches imply that god already holds him in favor?

Also, if he’s abandoned salvation is that why he’s burning the country down, no consequences?

President Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force One that he doesn’t think he’s going to get into heaven.

“I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven.”

This led to the recall election of the reformer DA in S.F. The cops straight up stopped doing their job and the sizable pop in crime (with the accommodation of @sfchronicle.com) was put on his doorstep

Peter @notalawyer.bsky.social · 14h

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

I saw them play a tiny space at UCLA probably 2 weeks before they broke wide and they only got through 1 1/2 songs before it was shut down because everyone was tearing the place apart. Also, yes it’s absurd how don’t understand their viewpoint.

that's what I originally thought but a lot of coverage since then had me convinced he and his father were both believers in that nonsense. I've always assumed he's an atheist.

El Cerrito High was similarly soft segregated, painfully so, even then the diversity of that school changed me forever and for the better. I think we’re similar ages., graduated ‘91.

This underscores why the casual use of “Zionist” as an epithet was so concerning to me from the get go. It has a pernicious effect that goes by unnoticed until moments like this.
