@jhavok@mastodon.social What do you want them to do? Throw their own bodies down as canon fodder? @FrankFrank
@urbanfoxe Some sure do. They’ve been tested by fire and are far more aware of the world in general. But that started with whichever generation was Columbine.

I’m all out of WaPo gift articles for the month because I try and share so many but it sure is, Mr. Milbank. It sure is.
Most of the Jewish Americans I know have a living memory of relatives or very recent ancestors who suffered unbelievable antisemitic violence in pogroms or in the Shoah. Most are also anti-Netanyahu and for a genuine multi-state solution. Not that it seems to matter.

@stevesilberman Maybe it's not actually his own skin?
@JaneRLaForge They think climate change is a hoax.
@urbanfoxe Just don’t be ageist.

@Vincarsi No argument here. I’m an outsider, but it’s been obvious to me for the last 50 years. @SrRochardBunson

@AlliFlowers @SrRochardBunson I grew up a pastors daughter. We were Protestant until I was ten when we converted to Eastern Orthodox. I'm not trying to be rude, but from my own experiences; the idea that the rivalry between denominations (in North America at least) is even comparable to the complete dismissal of groups like Jews, Muslims or Indigenous nations, is so absurd it's almost offensive.
@lolonurse My favorite is Y hand that hearing people use for YOLO, but in ASL is yellow. Confusing as hell. @TonyStark @Bam @Balkingpoints

There’s going to be so much right-wing violence and terror next year. I don’t think people are ready for what’s coming.

Two F-15 fighter jets struck a facility used by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and affiliated groups in retaliation for at least 38 attacks on U.S. troops between Oct. 17 and Nov. 7 in Iraq and Syria, Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said.

@PamelaBarroway I have been saying this for days now, and just getting shit from people who think I’m being anti Palestinian. @Permacultureandpolitics

Sharing my statement on President Biden’s call for a 72-hour pause in the Israel-Hamas War to allow for progress in releasing the hostages held by Hamas and the delivery of humanitarian aid to innocent Gazan civilians.

Horrified to read reports that an @icrc convoy has come under fire in Gaza. It’s essential that all sides permit humanitarian personnel to fulfill their lifesaving operations in safety and security.
@Vincarsi Yes, although each flavor sees the other flavors as out groups. You don’t have to be a Jew, Muslim, or Buddhist to be out. And heaven knows we’ve all been taught the same bible stories and know as much (or more) about Christianity than a lot of Christians. @SrRochardBunson
@JaneRLaForge Probably because none of them would have understood the question.

Once again President Biden won the GOP debate. These Republican challengers are a sad joke. Trump will lose to Biden again—hopefully while Trump watches election returns from his prison cell.
