I've only been on a jury once. It was a criminal case about a pedophile. I won't go into details, but the victim testimony gave me nightmares.
It's a horrific crime. I understand why it freaks people out so much, they'll compromise basic civil liberties to stop it.
Unless… it's their god.

This is why my most "scare the hoes" political opinion is: MAGA is avodah zarah.
When I call MAGA/GOP post-truth, this is what I mean. It’s hard for people who value truth to fully grasp.
“But don’t they care about underlying facts? Don’t they worry it’ll come out?”
No, they really don’t. They reject that factual reality matters. Words are just things you say to get something.

Seeing the phrase "Conservative Jews" used in a context like this is always such a jumpscare lol
Conservative Jews don't care; they generally back them up!
The current fight is because ppl like Fuentes and Carlson are attacking *not just left Jews* but conservative Jews, and treating them the same way the right treats other marginalize ppl.

It's annoying to keep having to point this out, but the actual DNC has been behind Mamdani ever since he won the primary, which you wouldn't know by reading some posts on here.

Do not be a doomer about this. Just call your New York friends and remind them to vote, and tell them to do the same. He is more popular and will win with good turnout.
i hate to be that bitch, but my sources are telling me this early voting data has gotten Zohran's people rightly spooked and y'all better stop assuming this one's in the bag. GOTV
Voter turnout surges in NYC mayor’s race, with Boomers and Gen X leading the charge
The data so far is good news for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, a political scientist said.

Ok, yes, Trump nominee Paul Ingrassia did say, “I do have a Nazi streak in me from time to time, I will admit it."
But, the kid was just 29 years old. Barely able to drive or buy a beer.

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

The Supreme Court of the United States is not a legitimate body.
More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...
