really cannot be overstated how much contempt the Israeli government has for left wing Jews in the diaspora

Bibi et al would, by and large, actually like us to be targeted so that either we’ll get in line or our corpses will further their political goals

Pete Hegseth Questions What Girls Were Doing In School To Begin With WASHINGTONβ€”Saying critics of the missile strike that killed at least 175 civilians were dodging a fundamental question,Β Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday demanded to know what girls were doing ...

β€œIn all this talk about who was responsible and how this happened, are we just going to ignore the fact that girls were allowed to learn?” said Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

"where are the student protestors now" as if they were not expelled, arrested, threatened, derided, abandoned, and deported. as if we didn't systematically punish what could have been our own next generation of active political leaders. jfc.

Fascinating conflation-of "the Jewish people" with "the Jewish state," in 1 breath-as being blamed for the war in Iran. Israel IS to blame for the Iran war! They're one of the nations waging it! The only people who agree with him conflating Jews with that are anti-Semites (who are everywhere lately)

it goes on b/c you put a 22-year-old in charge of counterterrorism, moved all your counterterrorism agents to arresting legal immigrants, and told liberal synagogues like the one that was attacked they no longer qualify for security grants, while saying any jew who doesn't support this is a traitor

With new advances in technology, computers will be able to do tiresome and unrewarding work like painting, writing, and composing music, leaving human beings free to create shareholder value and protect inventory

It's not excusing antisemitism and Jew hatred to say that at least a massive portion of it is the fault of Netanyahu, ben-Gvir, Smotrich, and their government of genocidal fascists. It's just a fucking fact. And it's intentional. There, I said it.

the stink of gender resentment coming off Silicon Valley has been obvious for a while. these men hate women because they hate being told no.

Just because a synagogue has "Israel" in its name does NOT mean it's connected to the apartheid state. Long before there was a State of Israel, Jews called ourselves the People of Israel, and we called ourselves that because we are the Children of the forefather Israel.

Eleven years since you crossed the black sands. I wish I could say that the world is better than you left it (although it will always be better for having had you in it) but at least there is a new Young Sam to help carry on the Pratchett name and ethos. Love you always ❀️

My gosh. The Israeli Defense Minister also openly says here that the role of the Israeli military's legal system is "to protect and safeguard" soldiers β€” not to hold them accountable, for instance, when they rape someone on camera:

they just got a sweetheart slap-on-the-wrist settlement from the Trump administration. Everyone in the media knew that "corporations get away with ripping off Americans" was one of the major stakes of the 2024 election and intentionally misled us into thinking it was "Trump low prices" instead

My niche with queer and trans folks has made conversations about the wider world more expected for me, and I know that some people have had clinicians chide or even fire them for bringing in political material, which is Bad!

The short answer is that it's tough but meaningful work that I wouldn't trade for anything easier

If anyone is looking for a therapist and knows they will want to discuss the state of the world as part of their mental health, not a bad idea to look for those who work a lot with marginalized clients

After a series of fatal strikes involving civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan, Congress directed the Pentagon to reduce civilian casualties as part of a 2019 law. During the Biden administration, the Defense Department created the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response initiative.

The civilian mitigation teams – cut by 90% by Hegseth – work with military commanders on target planning, and making sure that targets are actually military sites. The teams help come up with "no strike" lists, including religious and cultural sites and schools

I knew that the Department of War shot a missile into a school & killed 175 civilians, mostly children.

This is learned today:

Secretary of War Hegseth had cut the teams assigned to prevent such tragedies by 90%.
