@Threadbane So you feel Jews are the only people in the world not entitled to any homeland? Got it. And you also feel Jews originated…where exactly? Cause most of my family look just like our Arab brothers and sisters.

@Threadbane Palestinians are not a religion. They are safe in any Muslim country. Your turn.

@fixiemama I’m happy for you. I choose not to fill my life with hate. As I said, you do you, and I hope you never have to walk in my shoes. Goodbye.

@fixiemama If money is what’s most important to you, you do you. May you never have to walk in my shoes.

Ohio's *School Vouchers for All*: Expanded, Expensive, but Not Audited - A clear case of removing funding from public schools to finance private mostly religious schools. deutsch29.wordpress.com/2024/0 #privatization

Man we live in crazy times…

Republican Bill Barr tells CNN, that when he was Attorney General, Trump would frequently inform him, he wanted specific US citizens killed, but according to Barr, it is not a problem, because the government did not carry out the order.

Imagine that: A president angrily suggesting to use the power of the state to assassinate people he does not like, and it all comes down to, whether the person he is talking to tries to calm him down… or not.

Justice #Merchan wrote that he was “keenly aware of, and protective of, Defendant’s First Amendment rights.” But nonetheless, he wrote that he would not tolerate continued violations of his orders and that if necessary & appropriate, he would “impose an incarceratory sentence.” In plain language, he is warning #Trump that he will send him to #jail if necessary.

Already, prosecutors have alerted to the judge to 4 new potential violations. Those were not covered by Justice #Merchan’s order & will be discussed at another hearing, which will be held on Thurs morning.

In addition to fining #Trump after finding him in #contempt, Justice Merchan ordered him to remove the offending Truth Social posts today.

Theists:
1. Do you believe you can fly if you flap your arms?

2. Do you believe a #god exists?

Apply to the second question the same kind of critical thinking you used on the first.

Judge #Merchan says #Trump can have May 17 to attend the high school graduation of his youngest son, Barron. Trump had complained about not immediately being given permission. “I don’t think the May 17 date is a problem,” the judge says.

@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.
