@Computeforloot I acutually had an edible and a gin drink as the weather was changing.
@Computeforloot Crazy weather. It’s supposed to go down to 40something tonight, from 80something earlier.

A few hours makes a huge difference! Went from shorts and in the water, to crazy windy! Listen to it!

Jewish students at Columbia University addressed rising antisemitism in a poignant news conference today. Senior Noa Fay powerfully drew parallels between current campus sentiments and ideologies leading to the Holocaust. A must-watch for understanding the gravity of the situation.
Check out the full press conference in the link:

Prevent Mass Shootings: Ban Military-Style Assault Weapons https://demcastusa.com/2023/10/30/prevent-mass-shootings-ban-military-style-assault-weapons/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon
@imstilljeremy FFS, separate the names. See the way I do it? There is no chance of mistake that way. A lot less confusing for the entire fediverse. @not2b
@littlemiao Other than my being expelled from Baptist Missionary School for being Jewish…but that’s another story. Or when we first moved to Ohio and the realtor only showed us one neighborhood because “that’s where all the Jews live.”….also another, but less interesting story.
Christians may not dictate where we live, but they all have pull on US politics. And there are more and more extremists every day. THAT is exactly what I’m talking about.

The #antisemitism directed at American Jews isn't only vile but it's also totally misplaced. Overwhelming majorities of us oppose settlements and favor the creation of a Palestinian state. Most of us hate Bibi and this Israeli gov. Israel ranks as our 10th most important issue, out of 14, in J Street polling.
It's fucking maddening. But I guess it's always the case that "dumb bigot" is redundant.
@Free_Press Maybe his son is related to Matt Gaetz’s son. (Whatever happened with that anyway?)

The New House Speaker Claims to Have a Black Son and Everything About It Is Super Weird
In the days since House Republicans elected some guy named Mike Johnson to be their new speaker, we have been subjected to learning who this guy is and every horrifying thing he has ever done, said, or supported. But one of the stranger revelations concerned the Louisiana congressman’s past statements about his Black son.

@not2b It didn’t call it that. It asked why it wasn’t called that.
The implication is that Muslims have many “states” countries where they can be safe and worship as they see fit. @imstilljeremy

President #Biden is considering canceling student debt for borrowers whose balances have ballooned because of interest accrual, those who’ve been trying to repay for 25 years and students who attended low-performing colleges, administration officials said.

@TonyStark @littlemiao Rather than saying "The Fediverse has an antisemitism problem," which implies that this is a platform issue, let's just be clearer, more direct, and more honest: The world has an antisemitism problem.

Eleven year old meme still rings true. Being a 50 year old Progressive means saying, "I told you so" an excessive number of times.
