7/ Klasfeld:
A few quick words on this:
Critics of Bragg's case have long ques whether alleged 2016 election-related conspiracy was a crime.
1st week of trial revealed Trump's accused co-conspirators feared criminal prosecution, as it happened.
As it became clear Trump would win, then-Enquirer editor in chief Dylan Howard sent a close relative a message saying the soon-to-be POTUS-elect may pardon him for "electoral fraud."
(Since Howard wasn't in court, jury couldn't see the message.)

@purplepadma Count your blessings. In the US, you pay that much for classes and work a full-time job to afford your studies.

@JuliusGoat I've been involved in many protests and is completely normal to talk about who's not welcome at the protest and what to do to get rid of them. It can be done and was done many times.
If there's not even an attempt to do so, that is a *choice* by the protest.
The idea that protests cannot realistically get rid of antisemites is nothing but a lame excuse. The reality is much more likely that they can't get rid of them because there is a consensus that these people *are* welcome there

@JuliusGoat Protests don't have to be flawless, but they need to make clear that the worst people are not welcome at their protest. And they don't. At all. Nowhere. That's a choice that reflects on the entire protest.

Here's what we're reading today:
An attack on #Odesa last night killed five and injured over 30. Russian troops set on fire the Palace of Students at the National University Odesa Law Academy, nicknamed "Harry Potter's Castle" due to its unique shape.
They used an Iskander missile with cluster munitions, scattering debris over a 1.5km radius. Prosecutors suspect a deliberate choice to maximize casualties.
Does this make them colonialists?

🦛 🦛Herds of endangered hippos are stuck in drying ponds in Botswana's northwest as the El Nino-induced drought takes its toll on wildlife.
In Botswana, home to one of the world’s largest hippopotamus populations, around 500 hippos are stranded as blistering heat dries up water sources, Moemedi Batshabang, director of the Department of Wildlife and National Parks, told VOA.

Good morning. It’s my mom’s 97th birthday. Among other things, I gave her some chocolates and she says, “Thank you, but I was hoping for
a Trump conviction.”
(Now I feel like a bad son.)

"The Republican Party has never been pro-life.
Only pro-birth.
As after a child is actually born they disavow all responsibility for it, allowing it to suffer and die in the streets from exposure, malnutrition, and disease.
And then, in the final circular irony, blame the parents for birthing it."

@DanadasGrau You do realize that Judaism is matrilineal, right? So your comment is absurd. @dukepaaron @jeffowski
Before joining the conversation, ask yourself this question. Do you believe Jews have a right to a homeland (somewhere)? If yes, enter the conversation. If no, you need to evaluate your beliefs.

Every two hours, a child dies in Sudan. Our global silence is deafening.
The suffering of the Sudanese may be off camera now, but it won't be in a few months when babies are starving en masse. #sudan #sudancivilwar #darfur #genocide #africa #worldnews
@fixiemama The settlers (of whom I disapprove) began by camping. They moved into homes that were abandoned because of their presence. Exactly what the protesting students are hoping to do. But why focus on that point instead of the major point - there is no comparison between today’s protests against A FOREIGN COUNTRY and those of the 60s where we protested our own country. We were smarter in the 60s.

A landmark systematic review has concluded that regret rate for transgender surgeries is "remarkably low," comparing it to many other surgeries and major life decisions.

@fixiemama If it’s not personal, you have no vested interest. Money is not personal. People are.

They just never get it. You allow it for one religion, you allow it for all. Equality is sooo hard to understand, huh? 🙄
