The rabbi shouted βDONβT CHECK!β

Oreoβs always up to some fuckshit with the flavors but I would eat this

The Nazi tattoo that he openly sported for years isnt just a "Well, besides the tattoo" issue
Israel, with America's blessing, just issued evacuation orders to the entire southern suburbs of Beirut, home to nearly a million people.
At this point, Israel & the US have forcibly displaced at least a million people in Lebanonβi.e., ONE IN SIX. Imagine this in your town.
We cannot accept this.

A dear friend's cat is dealing with anemia and needs blood transfusions, and I am so worried for her, but wanted to pause and remind folks that cats and dogs can be blood donors. If you have a healthy animal between 1-6 years of age, look for a program near you. Save some lives.
