• On the post: Trump Admin’s New Defense For Accidentally Sending Abrego Garcia To Salvadoran Torture Camp: We Meant To Do That

  When people don’t like something in the Constitution, they should get it amended, instead of having the courts “cosplay” their way around it.

  Does that apply to Trump v. Anderson? Because The SCOTUS had to ignore the literal text of the 14th amendment in order to come to their decision.

  "to fight anti-Semitism"? I'd laugh if it weren't so serious…

  The other part of the document claims that it was done based on the “policy” of the US to fight antisemitism and to protect Jews, but fuck that as well. It’s clearly bullshit. This is the same administration that has said the Naval Academy library had to remove books about the Holocaust, while leaving Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf on the shelves. This is the same administration that hired into a top position someone with a long history of blatantly antisemitic conspiracy theories popular in neo-Nazi circles. This administration’s claims of fighting antisemitism appear to be pretty antisemitic itself, using false claims of wanting to “protect” Jews to actually make Jews targets of more hatred.

  Not to mention that–as Qasim Rashid pointed out–Trump pardoned the January-sixer who wore a "Camp Auschwitz" t-shirt and who attempted to kill Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi. It doesn't seem like Trump is trying to defend us Jews but silence dissent on a state as fascist, genocidal, and authoritarian as he wants to make the US (and is succeeding at it, unfortunately).

  Trump is a convicted criminal. Abrego García is not a convicted criminal. These are factual statements. You're literally on the side of criminals.

  Exactly. I'm both trans and gay, and from what I know about the Bible (both the Hebrew Tanakh and the Christian Bible), is that

  1. there are 6 to 8 genders in the talmud (more intersex than trans, but the "Saris Adam" gender can be interpreted as a transgender woman. Besides, not even the Jewish sages of antiquity limited themselves to only two genders.
  2. in the Christian bible, Jesus said nothing about being gay, but said a lot about how one treats the poor (like the whole camel-through-an-eye-of-a-needle thing).

  With some exceptions (such as the Quakers and the United Church of Christ), too much of Christianity today is white supremacy in Jesus' robes.

  I was also introduced to A.R. Moxon, and then I purchased his book, Very Fine People, which I finished and then gave to a former work colleague of mine who is also a bookworm, which she exchanges for cookies at this delicious bakery nearby called One Girl Cookies! I'd say it's a fair trade, as she gets new reading material, I find a new home for a book I already read, and I get cookies! For me, it's a win/win!

  Well, on Christmas, since I'm a Jew in NYC, I order take-out from my local Chinese Restaurant, and then watch a movie. But thre real presents we get are on New Year's Day, when we get a treasure trove of works entering the Public Domain!

  A “100% OPSEC” failure, would you say?

  I would call it an "over 9000% OPSEC" failure.

  In their attempt to cover for one war-crime they are laying the groundwork for any other country to return the favor to US civilians and the US to have no grounds to protest

  Like what happened on 9/11

  Also, a sizable number of US veterans hate US empire with a passion. I know some personally.

  Look up "The Poverty Draft". If you think Native Americans are the highest percentage per capita of their ethnicity enlisted in the US armed forces due to Jingoism, I want what you're smoking.
