@DavidM_yeg @stevesilberman I’m with you. These comments are frightening. Unless one has lived the Jewish diaspora experience, it’s impossible to understand. And, it’s become clear in the last few weeks, antisemitism curdles many interactions.

4/ Via Kyle Cheney:

Among those they say will testify that what occurred was an "insurrection" and that Trump is disqualified from the ballot:

-MPD Officer Danny Hodges
-Rep. Eric Swalwell
-Extremism and 14th amendment experts

Trump side, led by former CO secratary of state Scott Gessler, says petitioners are relying on "fringe" legal theories to disqualify a presidential candidate for the first time in American history: "This lawsuit is antidemocratic." [Me: So are insurrections, you putz]

It isn’t just older American Jews who are afraid of the rising antisemitism in the U.S and elsewhere. Jewish students in their twenties are coming to me to tell me that they are being overtly menaced on campus because they are Jewish. They are being harassed simply on the basis of their last names. Holding all Jews responsible for the conduct of the Israeli government is definitely bigoted; taunting and threatening people on the basis of their seemingly Jewish names is absolutely racist.

Via Fred Wellman:

It will not shock you to know Chip Roy never served in the military. These are the same words used by bigots and chickenhawk when we desegregated. When women were admitted into the military academies and combat roles. When we flushed ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” Change is fought.

Aaron Rupar:

Chip Roy on Fox Business says he wants DOD to be focused on "killing people and blowing stuff up."

3/ Scott MacFarlane, more:

A computer plunges off defense table in the scrum. Other agents from elsewhere in courthouse run into Judge Friedman’s courtroom to corral GossJankowski, who is huge and strong.

Judge has already exited

Seven to eight agents finally get GossJankowski under control. He’s going straight to DC jail

Can we lower the temperature? Take a breath? This week, I’ve been so very sad. I’m praying for all the violence to end. For the captives to be returned. For humanitarian aid to get to Gaza. For the missiles to stop. For Jews to feel safe. For Palestinians to have a state. For us all of us to see the humanity in each other. Please. #israel #palestinians #IsraelHamasWar #peace

“Journalists’ job is to give people information that helps them navigate their lives. Liars sabotage what journalists do, and journalists ought to be offended. If you were a barista and someone slipped toxic sludge into your coffee drinks, you wouldn’t just warn your customers that their drink had sludge in it. You’d try to keep the sludge out of the drink.”

@GottaLaff

Ok... I'm guessing Jack Smith's filing made the difference. Now she needs to call his ass in front of her and tell him in no uncertain terms what will happen next time he violates the orders.

Make him come to her. Make him appear and ask him on the record to answer to each element of his conditional release and acknowledge each so when he violates them she can pull it out.

Nazi, fascist, and antisemitic beliefs are often adopted by non-white people — while this may seem to be a contradiction, the history of National Socialism is far more complex than many would think.
