If you believe in the value of #FirstPrinciples and adhere to #ExtremeHumanism, never be ashamed for condemning war crimes or the slaughter of innocent civilians no matter who is carrying out the atrocity.

Let those who justify brutality stare into the abyss until it stares back at them.

Biggest disappointment as a result of the Twitter diaspora: realizing how many people I interacted with who are not interested in the public good, but only in self promotion. Sigh.

@lorenac Interesting interpretation. But that’s not what I’m talking about.

@AlliFlowers
I am reminded of an old Saturday Night Live sketch in which a couple are in bed trying to have sex, but all nine Supreme Court justices are standing there telling them what they can and can't do.

@BlueDot My favorite of all time! With each of the justices peeking under the sheets and conferring. Exactly!

Wow he got the country bumpkin serial liar Sarah Huckabeast down to a tee.😂 🤣

Happy Halloween

#Jewish #students hear #FromTheRiverToTheSea as an open call for the #eradication of #Israel, a haunting proposition given the legacy of the #Holocaust that led to Israel’s creation. The phrase has been printed on fliers & projected onto the facade of a bldg at #GWU George Washington Univ. It has been accompanied by other boilerplate like “Glory to our martyrs,” in which #JewishStudents see praise for killing Jewish #civilians, as #Hamas did earlier this month.

Just in case you didn't realize it before - there are 3 major religions in this world that all follow the same God but have different interpretations of wtf happened after they split from the original texts. Their God didn't change, they just did.

The first one decided that they're right, and no other prophets came along after their prophets.

The second one said, "we accept most of your religion but this guy showed up and he's the son of God"

The third one said, "Look, we're all brothers, that guy was cool but he wasn't the son of God. We have a new prophet and we got an updated rulebook from God and we're gonna follow that."

Now all 3 of them (plus the 4 versions of the first one, the 6 versions of the second one and 7 versions of the 3rd one) all argue about who's right - and have spent centuries letting political leaders use their faith to inspire each other to kill one another for their faith.

And there is no end in sight for this bullshit.

I’m really beginning to hate living in this state lately cause these people are just damn stupid!🙄 

@Outlanderfan7 That it is. I’ve been down here since 1993. I vote, and I write a lot of letters to my legislators.

@theothersimo I haven’t seen any anywhere. But I see an awful lot of posts abut how much of it is going on.

#Jewish #students at #CooperUnion in #NYC sheltered in a library as pro-#Palestinian demonstrators banged on the glass walls of the bldg. At a #proPalestinian protest near #Tulane, ≥2 students were #assaulted in a melee that began when someone tried to burn an #Israeli flag.

A person suspected of making violent threats toward Cornell's Jewish community has been arrested. The first chapter may be over, but we can expect weeks of further coverage.

Keep a special eye out for the coverage frenzy that surrounds the release of information about this person's identity, since we can expect early reporting and social media narratives to be unreliable.
