Maybe train one of the kids to purr? 🤭

Do you have a cat? There's research that a cat's purr helps to heal bones.

My thoughts include sharks. Just saying.

No worries! I guessed that you had skimmed too quickly. It's common on social media.

Maybe reread my post?

My wife and I were talking about that last night. Neither one of us think that we'd have lasted past 2018 were one of us a Trumper.

As I used to tell my kids, marry someone whose values are compatible with yours. Never forget that you are picking out the other parent of your children.

I watched a podcast earlier where a rabbi talked about Judaism as an "obligate community".

That is, a community within which we have duties.

Yeah. Democracy is like that also.

And the whole concept of duty.

Good.

We're allowed to think two things at the same time.

● Israel is the most diverse nation in the MENA region. That's beautiful.

● The rightward lurch of Israel - the regime and the voters - is abhorrent.

Those are not incompatible.

Very fair.

They love white privilege more than they love their religion.

Squirrels are amazing

The ridiculous part is that US fealty to Israel isn't about Jews at all.

It's about white Christian nationalism and the belief that Israel will unleash the apocalypse so White Jesus can return and slay their enemies.

Their enemies include Jews.

It's all about white Christians.

Yes. In large part coz it's REAL. Like we're sitting in a circle, riffing and laughing together.

Maybe things have been awful enough that enough white cis-het voters have learned.

More likely, though, they'll find more reasons to blame Dems for Trump's failures ... and reelect him or his successor in 2028.

Americans really are that stupid.

Better campaigns won't help. Harris put Project 2025 on blast, warning of what was coming. The media said it was a lie and yelled GAZA (that Trump said he'd pave for a resort) and egg prices.

All of the info was readily available. White cis-het voters didn't care. They wanted their bigotry.

Mazel Tov! 🥂

Exactly. Why should white voters learn any lessons when they can just shake their heads sadly and hope that candidates hold their hands better next time.

I chose the one that looked like a cinnamon imperial

Some empire.... 😢

I disagree.

Again, voting is a civic DUTY.

It's not about being engaged or enthusiastic or any other selfish, childish attitude.

It's a part of citizenship. Either you do it well or you pay the consequences.

White cis-het voters FAILED. And we're all fucked because of them.

I'm absolutely blaming the voters, and the non-voters.

Voting is a civic duty. Not a prom date.

Voters are responsible for their choices. They're not victims. They failed a basic test of democracy.

I saw it and replied. 💋

Somehow, over 80% of Black voters, over 80% of Jewish voters, and over 80% of queer voters worked it out.

It's only white voters who couldn't.... 🤔

It involved a special form and a long tongue.........

*thinks about how to attach one to ... *cough*

Now see, THIS is a Jewish conversation. At some point, one of us needs to drag in a Talmudic passage on the proper length of the tongue, that absolutely does not at all have any hint of cunning linguists. Except of course it does.

Meanwhile we're laughing too hard to remember how we started.

Dill pickles were brought down from Mount Sinai, on stone trays.... 🤭
