Future generations are not going to care which of us voted for or against Trump, just like most modern people don't care which Germans in the 1930s voted for or against the Nazis.

What will matter to future generations is what we do or don't do to try and stop the crimes against humanity before and while they happen.

Trump’s Cabinet picks are depleting the slim GOP House majority, leaving Speaker Mike Johnson scrambling. Key votes risk collapse as red-district vacancies linger due to slow special elections. With internal GOP divisions and looming spending battles, Trump’s decisions are pushing Republicans toward legislative chaos. https://www.rawstory.com/trump-house-republicans-2669990508/

« Ce procès à l’écho international, où démarre à partir de lundi le réquisitoire prévu pour durer trois jours, « montre que la culture du viol est ancrée dans la société, comme la violence envers les femmes », a souligné Amandine Cormier, de l’organisation Grève féministe, lors d’une conférence de presse mercredi à Paris. »

1. We don’t “argue” it. It’s a fact that there are no white people in the Bible

2. Yes white supremacists hijacked Christianity and enforced the claim that Jesus is white. This was codified in American state legislatures to also justify enslavement of Black people. How are you a lawyer and retired Intel officer and ignorant to this? White supremacy is blinding indeed.

Note that I am NOT suggesting that hundreds of trans men visit the US Capitol.

But if they happened to, they should make sure to use the bathrooms of their gender assigned at birth,

Otherwise, Rep Nancy Mace would be upset.

This week the President Elect outlined his deceit fill attack on public education. https://tultican.com/2024/11/21/divider-in-chief-shares-education-plan/ #EducationMatters

GOP dominated Texas school board approves curriculum that incorporates Bible lessons for K-5 classes.

In Texas you can freeze to death in a winter storm, die due to denied abortion care, be shot to death due to no gun safety laws, banned from voting due to arbitrary purges, and be arrested for submitting a provisional ballot if you're Black—but by God you WILL learn the Bible in elementary school.

This is Christian nationalism and it is an existential threat to our republic.

Here’s a story that should receive some renewed attention: While serving as Attorney General of Florida, Pam Bondi had the Governor reschedule an execution so she could attend a campaign fundraiser.

⚠️ BREAKING:

Dangerous Bird Flu Strain in British Columbia Teen Linked to 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic

D1.1 Bird Flu in BC Teen has HA: E190D and PB2: E627K mutations, same as the 1918 Spanish Flu that killed millions.

Until the Holocaust, the Spanish Inquisition was the defining moment of the Jewish Diaspora. And that it ultimately happened on Tisha B’Av, the date of the destruction of both Jewish Temples and the sacking of Jerusalem in 70 CE was a reminder of the level of tragedy.

I don’t think the news articles I was greeted with this morning, involving non-peer reviewed DNA claims involving Sephardic Jewry really considered the years of forced conversions, the awful Spanish treatment of even the “New Christians,” or the actual ramifications of pushing yet another tenuous genetic claim in the context of a time of the end of the Sephardic Golden Age and the destruction of the Spanish Sephardic Jewish community, something that harmed both Jews and Spain for generations.

But that’s unsurprising. What’s the need for historical context when you have an agenda to pursue?

Give a man a fish, and you’ll feed him for a day; give him a #religion, and he’ll starve to death while #praying for a fish.
