Something we need to keep in mind as we write for a wider, and possibly uneducated audience.

Until the Holocaust, the Spanish Inquisition was the defining moment of the Jewish Diaspora. And that it ultimately happened on Tisha B’Av, the date of the destruction of both Jewish Temples and the sacking of Jerusalem in 70 CE was a reminder of the level of tragedy.
I don’t think the news articles I was greeted with this morning, involving non-peer reviewed DNA claims involving Sephardic Jewry really considered the years of forced conversions, the awful Spanish treatment of even the “New Christians,” or the actual ramifications of pushing yet another tenuous genetic claim in the context of a time of the end of the Sephardic Golden Age and the destruction of the Spanish Sephardic Jewish community, something that harmed both Jews and Spain for generations.
But that’s unsurprising. What’s the need for historical context when you have an agenda to pursue?

@PandaChronicle @TonyStark @samiamsam
This is what I can't understand at all from the republicans who've embraced the madness. They constantly complain about "small government" and getting their hands off our stuff.
But more and more over the years it doesn't occur to them that while they say "small government", in the same sentence they praise actions that would put the government in our bedrooms, workplaces, etc. far more than at any time in history.
It occurred to me that they want "small government" for THEMSELVES because they think they are "the good ones" and everyone else deserves to be surveilled, taxed, and ridiculed to kingdom come.
The real trouble comes when all the opposition has been "dealt with" one way or another... the violence is a perpetual hate machine and will need a new target eventually... like the ones who were already on its side. Happened to every regime in history that wasn't taken down by external forces first.
But they won't learn that. Not in time.

"Good trouble."
A hacker accessed sealed testimony accusing Matt Gaetz of sex with a minor, raising questions about his attorney general nomination. Though he denies the claims and wasn’t charged, the leak could affect the House Ethics Committee’s decision on releasing its report. https://www.rawstory.com/matt-gaetz-trafficking-2669947571/

NY judge should sentence Trump even if carrying out the sentence is suspended through the 2028 election. But he should be sentenced like anyone else who was found guilty of 34 felonies by a jury.
I think I need a politician. They seem to be experts in everything from economics to medicine. I need a refrigerator with a new design. I’d like a congressman to build me a new fridge without the so-called vegetable crispers that don’t have room for much and certainly don’t provide any “crisping” functionality. Surely a politician can handle such a simple task.

@jeffjarvis The American “Gleichschaltung” begins. Toadies like George Will always think showing their Aryan certificates to the Gauleiter will keep them out of the cattle cars. Yeah, of course nobody wants to fight who has mouths to feed. Sad, but very human. An old friend of mine who left Berlin with her family as a 12 year-old in 1936 once told me about watching uniformed SA thugs putting “We know where you live, Jew” cards under the windshield wipers of cars on her block. That’s us now.
