There’s no new information I need in this election so I don’t really follow it with gusto. I am sure most, especially politically informed folks, feel the same way. Whether it’s because we’re confident in Biden’s win or are in denial about Trump’s chances is another question.
I agree but I have to interject that for young voters, who are 18, 19 and 20. - it is really important that they carefully consider the issues that they will have to deal with if that lying grifter traitor tRump gets into office. And they need to motivate every member of their cohort to mobilize and take a vital role in achieving a blue tsunami as nearly every Repugnicant needs to be evicted from office. Certainly all those who fell in line and had no backbone to stand up against the orange gaslighting fascist.
I agree my worry for that demographic is the moral confusion surrounding Gaza will promote apathy without realizing the consequences of Trump 2.0. When you’re young it’s so easy to stand for the perfect, which is at odds with the good.
Just like any block of voters, there are many that would have distracted viewpoints, but there are opportunities to meet them on their level and make the case the Everything is at risk, not just the protest du jour.
Here, here. Reminds me of the Buffalo Springfield song “A thousand people in the street, Singing songs and they carrying signs, Mostly say, "Hooray for our side"” The way forward will likely take more spilled blood until calmer minds prevail.
I always personally think of “stuck in the middle with you” by Stealers Wheel “jokers to the left of me, clowns to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle with you” but the buffalo Springfield song is a good portrayal of how I’ve felt through this conflict
Flew from Philly to relatives in Dallas; we decided to view in the driveway and the sight was beyond exquisite. No camera can capture the immense primal feeling of a cosmic event.
I don't mean to offend, but isn’t the usual argument that while Jews were in Israel for thousands of years, the majority of the Jewish population hasn't lived there for over 1.5 thousand years prior to 1948? Is that incorrect?
Interesting... let's apply the same logic to the hundreds of millions of americans, yet, here "we" are. And let's add that when a dozen countries in the surrounding region forced out their Judaic populations... hmm... becomes a bit of a tangle, no?
I've never been a Fetterman fan, but I absolutely love his honesty in calling corrupt fellow Democrat Bob Menendez a sleaze ball, and demanding he resign. There has been nothing but silence from NJ's other NJ Senator, the slightly less sleazy Cory Booker
The senator is a realist- the "I'm not a progressive" statement is from a Dec. '23 NBC News interview on having 'conversations on the topics of immigration, Ukraine and Israel' saying "Progressives better do that because we can't leave Israel — we can’t sell Ukraine out and we have to deliver on this,” so that y'all have the actual context.
Space, like time, isn't real. They are concepts that we use to talk about what we think we know. Does space expand? Where is it expanding into? I'm not being silly here as there are ideas that challenge our understanding.
The real question is how much aging is worth living through? I'm almost 70, gimme that damn doughnut.
They bombed a consulate and accidentally killed a foreign country's military generals?

It's pretty clear that they got Gosling very stoned, probably Gardner too.

Go see the roads in Michigan
Are they bad? I understand why ours are bad lots of factors but I imagine some other northly state has to have similar issues.
Michigan - planned auto degradation via potholes-> more sales

It my normal to temper tragedy with humor; but 7Oct was a rude awakening. Brought me closer to my jewish learning community.

Kinda like Bill Maher
Another Republican sanctioned killing. It’s the guns.

Hey guys! We found another ammosexual!
We Jews ask the question "Does God exist?" more so than the others.
In contrast, my jr high experience was print shop. yikes, look at all the applications now.
After you've spent $2k on airfare and more on expenses, you say "I tried" and you'll have a story: " remember in '24 the 'cloudy' eclipse?"

Antisemitism is alive and well
and appears to be spreading faster than Covid. If only there were vaccines to prevent it among the easily misled.

vote blue
"Though it is unclear if the medic was referring to the same scene," come fugging on NYT, this is bullsh1+
Update: HB777 passed the House by a vote of 104-97, and now goes to the Senate where it will surely die in committee without a vote.
Another instance of the allowance of Republican Sanctioned Killing
