I do not mean to sound flip. I am gut-level horrified by the war crimes we have been perpetrating.

Feature not a bug to his boss, no?

It’s beyond sad that we have to know the party affiliation of the judges in question to have confidence that they will follow the law.

That’s what the appeal is for, no?

is ‘effective immediately’ ever used in a positive sense

It’s politics not build-a-bear.

Times change.

I miss those days

They’re trying to take down the group that took down the Klan. Got it. Kind of like how Bari Weiss says she’s anti-anti-racism. We understand what you’re doing.

Here's the inflation breakdown for March 2026 — in one chart The Iran war has pushed up gasoline, airline fares and other prices for consumers.

We support Substack exodus

"Send us money to help build a border wall" and then instead buying yourself 18 more rumpled polo shirts to wear simultaneously, that's donor fraud. "Send us money to help research and track extremists" and then spending that money on obtaining information about extremists groups is... not fraud.

Many years ago ran by a dude who said “keep up the good work” 😋

Tried to read Torah when I was underprepared. I thought I had adequately prepared. I was wrong. 😳

ICE charter lands in Congo carrying 15 Latin American migrants The Democratic Republic of Congo becomes the eighth African nation known to have taken third-country nationals from the Trump administration.

Trump’s ICE started DRC third-country removals last week with 15 people from Latin American countries.

And we sent an Iraqi interpreter who had helped US military to Rwanda last year.

There is no bottom.

Opinion: DCPS is making needed progress on early childhood literacy The DCPS Reading Clinic is working for young D.C. students, writes an English language support teacher.

Since about 2001, in many schools across the country, literacy instruction has become less systematic — and less effective, a local teacher writes.

How she says DCPS and the DCPS Reading Clinic have charted a different path:

White supremacy is a lie, so if you believe in it you can’t be pro-science.

Agreed! And SURJ focusing on sending white people to have those conversations makes sense. It’s a long process with uncertain ROI but worth doing imo.

Seemed good until the last few paragraphs. Biden and the Dems did ***everything*** they could to improve the material conditions of voters and it didn’t matter. I wish more people did the organizing she does and the party invested more in red states. But the ending was so terrible.

I’m strongly against the war in Gaza, expanding the settlements, settler violence etc. I do *not* think it is helpful to change what the minority leader said 8 years ago, put quotation marks around it, and get people spun up. It’s misleading and folks should know that they’re being manipulated.

Who says I’m not?

Previous post said “He needs to go with his people.” As a Jew I was wondering where the poster wanted us to go.

those ossoff numbers are something else, too.

Equating, and no. He may well be right about the Torah. In which case he means Jews not Israelis. There’s a difference.

But isn’t he talking about Dems using language in a way that is off putting to non-political types? And they (true of me personally in this case) would not have heard that word. Disappointing signal from Beshear.

Yuuuuupppp
