“His desire was to make Jews afraid to go to synagogue and to be Jewish publicly. He sought to annihilate our value of welcoming the stranger, and was enraged by our care for refugees. The more we show the strength of our community, encouraging Jews to embody Jewish values, the more we can demonstrate the utter defeat of those who seek to harm the Jewish people.“✡️🪬 #mazeldon @mazeldon

Why isn’t “try that in a small town” about trying to get medical care in a small town, trying to find a grocery store in a small town, trying to get a job, childcare, secondary education? Nope it’s about we’re gonna shoot everyone different than us in the name of Jesus.
Rural America is destroying itself, selling itself out, intentionally destroying its own future, while blaming “liberals”
I posted this a few days ago but can’t find it, so here’s a repost. 😅
Southerner Tips for Avoiding Heatstroke!
I know some of y’all out here aren’t used to a lot of heat and humidity, so here are some important tips for how to avoid heatstroke and deal with the heat when you’re outside!
Most important is DRINK CONSTANTLY. The thing they drill into us as kids down South is that if you’re thirsty, it’s too late. You need to be drinking before you feel thirsty.
Proud Boys member Tusitala Toese (aka "Tiny") has been sentenced to eight years in prison for instigating riots, carrying out multiple assaults, and illegally using weapons, among other things.
Toese had been something of a hero among his fellow right-wing extremists for his repeated willingness to carry out violence in and around Portland, Oregon. For earlier attacks, he was repeatedly given probation or sometimes not even arrested or charged as his violence escalated. https://www.opb.org/article/2023/07/21/proud-boy-tusitala-tiny-toese-sentenced-8-years-prison-violence-portland-rallies/

I would like to see a new federated permission like "allow crowd editing of the image description." That way, important images can be crowd-described once they are important or seen often enough to bother. I guarantee people will volunteer to do it. There could even be a "call" button to flag the the item as needing one. The item's author can opt-in to keeping the right to approve such modifications.

My spouse returned from a road trip to Galveston with #Covid. And now, I have it too. Three and a half years of precautions, and it’s finally hit us 😞 . Fever, congestion, cough, and aches, so we’re both taking Paxlovid. I’m really happy I seemed to have avoided getting anything while on my flights to Florida, or while hanging with my Mom’s friends at her retirement community. Instead, he got it from some unmasked Texan while I was away. Be careful out there, folks. It’s really not over.

A modern, progressive society does not need or want people walking around with weapons of war hanging off their shoulders.
We are better than this.
Vote every right-wing, Xtian nut job out of office.
I don't know about you, but I want to live in a peaceful, civil society where every little thing doesn't turn into a killing of a human. Over stupid shit!
People walking around the streets carrying weapons & other deadly items of war is not Self-Defence.
It Never was & never will be.
I am not talking about someone who wants to keep a weapon at home for protection or hunting This is a deliberate, self-prophesizing tactic to bully, harass & murder to keep & gain power until complete control.
The reason: They have always been planning for a fight.
What do we do about it?
Vote the magats out of office.
