That's a chicken-and-egg standard. If a Jew is someone accepted by the Jewish community as a Jew, you must first define "the Jewish community," which the HCJ knows enough about to coast on vibes but your average American judge can't.
Damn me, but all things are queer
Sunny is free. We are so glad that she is with family and on the way home. Sunny and her 5 coworkers were taken to Broadview and then moved to Juneau, Wisconsin where they were finally released from ICE custody. We were lied to the entire time about her location. DHS needs to answer for this.
Now the number is at least 11. According to a press release today, 59-year-old Pejman Karshenas Najafabadi died in custody on March 1 after suffering a heart attack. He was from Iran and came to the US as a lawful permanent resident decades ago.
Same here--they're clearly well constructed and well-written, but reading them just feels like punishment somehow.
BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon
At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me
So we have yet another incident where a US citizen was shot and killed by ICE, and the official ICE account differs from bodycam footage.
This is the story that took nearly a year to break and now we have the bodycam footage.
My sister used to go through the entire school directory of families, make a list of all the families who only had boys, and cold-call every family on the list on the theory that those families had no built-in competition/cookie source.
This just looks like good business sense to me.
*Women* aging. This crowd thinks Mills is too old to run for office at 78, but Bernie Sanders running for re-election at 83 was fine and dandy.
And I hope you can find something more meaningful to do with your time than defend a guy who can't stop making Nazi gaffes, truly. But as long as you keep doing that, everyone who sees it will form an opinion about you. What you do defines who you are, for candidates and voters alike.
We don't think his backers are enthusiastic about him *because* of his multiple red flags, no. We've simply noticed how many red flags those backers are willing to accept in exchange for charisma and vibes, and we've formed an opinion on those backers' judgment (and moral fiber) accordingly.
SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.
My report:
Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."
This attorney has a golden retriever personality in general (he gave me a coffee shop gift card when he joined the office "as a thank you in advance for all your help and patience, which I'm going to need") so this is very on brand for him.
Not helpful at all, but he was trying to be!
An attorney just gave me a brief draft in which he typed in the table of contents by hand "to make it easier for you." This has the same endearing quality as when one of my cats walks across my keyboard to cuddle me and closes out all my open Word docs in the process.
In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.
There's a word for "job growth going backwards" and it's on the tip of my tongue.
Yes, but *this specific formulation/idea* was the basis for pogroms and outright genocides against European Jews that began nearly a millennium before the Holocaust. Its historical impact has been primarily antisemitic and Islamophobic.
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
not today, yeytser hora
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
“we all agreed rape jokes are bad” was about lazy men using rape as a shocking punchline to dehumanize women in like tweets and standup routines
don’t use that same maxim to run around demanding survivors of abuse discuss what happened to them only in somber, sad reverence.
Precisely!
That's how I feel about King John. Is it great art? Lol, no. Is it utterly bonkers in a way that compels me? Hell yeah.
i think there are plausibly cool things you can do in the Firefly universe and i hope someone who isn't Joss Whedon gets a chance to do them

Democrats may not be able to prevent Mullin's confirmation, but they can certainly turn his track record of offense and stupidity into two days of televised humiliation so spectacular that he is wounded in Trump's eyes from day 1. That is the job.
Let me be clear: I’m glad Kristi Noem was fired. But we still have to abolish ICE.
