It's just interesting that Democrats are institutionally incapable of making up shit like this.

Mike Johnson — man of deep faith, we are told — wants pastors to be shot in the head with pepper balls.

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents?

MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

I think it says that that is the ideology of our extreme right wing eg Charlie Kirk. That is, it animates MAGA. I don't think it is saying that it is actually true.

I have been in tears over every image of one returned and tears also for the ones who loved someone who did not.

California is proud to congratulate FIVE California university-affiliated scholars among this year's Nobel laureates.

From quantum computing to clean energy and medical breakthroughs, these trailblazers reflect the strength, innovation, and creativity that define our state.

Personally, I think they more resemble Storm Troopers. Bullies, enforcers, intimidators. It's all bad! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sturmab...

Because of them, my niece decided not to go to UMD and went to Stern College. Now she's a teacher in Israel. I am an Episcopal priest, my brother is an orthodox rabbi, my SIL teaches Judaic studies, and my Jewish family means everything to me.

And aren't there antisemitic community organizers like JVP or student leaders who teach young people what to say and write

I would feel strangely better about humankind if I knew that many of these were not coming from willfully ignorant and hateful people. I have heard it from their own mouths too, tho, but not incessantly like on social media.

As someone who was once called a "genocidal Zionist" because I said I would no longer have a conversation about Israel if they did not stipulate its right simply to *exist*, I am so with this post below. I mean go ahead and yell at me but have the dignity to show you know what you're saying.

I know this is bsky, where everything is a war crime, but genocide is the only war crime, but there is, in fact, a whole array of war crimes involving the killing of civilians, even a practice of intentional or reckless killing of civilians, and not all of them are genocide.

Tears of joy for families and friends of hostages finally released.
Prayers for their strength as they confront how ravaged their beloveds will appear.
Mourning for those whose loved ones were murdered and so will not celebrate.
Holding out for a miracle: for ALL to be free to live in peace.

This whole time the majority of the Jewish people have been imprisoned with them. We’ve suffered with them. We’ve wept we’ve screamed we’ve wished we could end everything we’ve yelled at G-d we’ve yelled at each other we’ve yelled at ourselves. See our hearts beating in perfect harmony.🎗️

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy. 

Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.

Every morning in PDX, I must decide. Am I a weak tea-drinking skippy blue-haired non-binaryfeckless
empathy-soaked vegan pagan woke libtard, or a Marxist armed radical insurrectionist Satanist cell-member of a global terrorist org planning to conquer America and make every woman get an abortion?

If your problem with Israel is its actions, you're not necessarily antisemitic.

If your problem with Israel is its existence, its supposedly intrinsic falsehood and parasitism, you are absolutely antisemitic.

I’m so frustrated that the people posting dumb memes mocking Israeli culture 99.9% of the time don’t actually know shit about Israeli culture or the overlap between Israeli culture and Jewish culture (there is no clean line! You can’t parse them easily! You are a toddler playing with matches!)

Look, maybe not *all* ICE and CBP agents are bloodthirsty psychopaths, but there are plenty of stories like this one and the rest of them sure as shit don't seem to mind, so ...

CBP agents knocked on an El Paso home at 7:15 a.m.

The owner asked to secure his Rottweiler, Chop, in the bathroom.

While he got his ID, agents opened the door and shot Chop.

The family tried to save him as he bled out on the kitchen floor.

After 10 long days, the hearing challenging Texas' gerrymandering ended. By the end, all of legacy media had vanished. But Democracy Docket stayed to keep you informed about just how far Republicans went to manipulate the state’s maps.

We all have an ethical obligation to respect the entire community of living things and even oceans, water, and sky. But this whole pretending we are not mammals thing is nuts.
