New in Public Notice: Trump's Truth Social page is a riot of witness intimidation, and even his lawyers can’t really defend it https://www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-witness-intimidation-gag-order-explained

Kareen Abdul-Jabbar explains why, though he finds marginalization of and violence toward any ethnic, racial, or religious group and towards LGBTQ people, women, and immigrants heinous, he has
"a special anger/frustration/outrage toward those who are antisemitic."

Here's why:

"First, it’s a default bias for people with absolutely no critical thinking ability."

"The sheer number of people who engage in antisemitism around the world indicates how widespread lazy, illogical thinking dominates. …

Second, the inability to distinguish between a religion and the actions of politicians in another country is astounding. Regardless of what one thinks about Israel or Palestine, most of the Jews and Muslims in the United States and in other countries have nothing to do with those actions."

The Israel bill is a reminder that Trump-aligned Republicans run the House now https://www.vox.com/politics/2023/11/2/23944340/mike-johnson-house-israel-aid-bill-passes?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

US Russian Republicans

Donald Trump, Mike Johnson, and the House MAGA Republicans are desperate to cut off all Ukraine funding so Putin & Russia can triumph over Ukraine.

Their first step was to remove any mention of Ukraine funding from the just passed Israel funding bill. Loaded with an IRS poison pill, the bill still passed because mainstream congressmen don't want to be seen blocking aid to Israel.

The entire Israel aid funding bill by MAGA leaders is a 💩

Friendly reminder that Ivanka (42), Don Jr. (45), and Eric (39) are adults who have made their own criminal decisions.

It’s about time to finally hold Trump’s grown-ass traitor tots accountable.

The Orphans, two scorched giant sequoias, expected to survive – Los Angeles Times

As a result of the prescribed burn, thousands of sequoia seedlings are growing beneath the Orphans, Gerhart said. Many will eventually perish as they compete for sunlight and water, but a few might grow into the next crop of monarchs. “We have to have fire that’s hot enough to be able to create that regeneration, and that to me is really exciting,” she said.
