you're not defending the principle of jewish self-determination, you're not defending the right of jewish people to have a land of our own, you're defending a state that actually exists carrying out actual policies causing actual harm, not the ideal of what it might be if only things were different

it doesn't matter that when you defend israel you're defending the idea of what is possible for israel to become, you're actually in the moment defending the reality of what israel is, which is an apartheid state committing unbridled, unashamed ethnic cleansing with self-righteous pride

it's like when american liberals say "this is not who we are" in response to trump policies, but in fact, those policies are very real and very much who we are right now, and have a longstanding precendent, and it's how the whole world perceives us except trump's fascist fellow travelers

it doesn't matter how much liberal zionists want to say "well that isn't _my_ zionism" because this is the actual zionism that is being embodied by the policies and actions of the state of israel, not your fantasy of what zionism _can_ be, but the reality of what zionism _is_

I set a voice reminder last night as I was falling asleep, something I do regularly. I’m usually able to come up with a word or phrase to mumble and then when I hear it again the next morning, I can recall what I was contemplating. The word today? Compromise. I have absolutely no idea why.

The movie Poltergeist when I was 4 years old first introduced me to the concept of why I should be afraid of the dark. Then a Ripley’s Believe it or Not episode about our sun expanding to engulf the planets and turn us all into stars when I was 6 years old solidified that fear for life.

Pro-abortion survey claims funds are drying up...
The Details:
Surveying Abortion Providers
The data comes from a new survey of abortion providers analyzed by the pro-abortion Autonomy News (AN) which is self-described as "a new worker-owned reproductive rights and justice publication co-founded by Garnet Henderson and Susan Rinkunas," who "do not subscribe to traditional ideas about 'journalistic objectivity.”

And I know some of you saw the first incident that I am referring to and I’m not interested in relitigating the details of that situation. But I will say that a conversation NEVER takes place independent of structural issues, which have to be accounted for every single time.

Bad news: I found it before she did. It’s on the counter now, I think behind the breadbox. I haven’t seen enough to rule out 🪳which have never been spotted before in the 10 yrs we’ve lived in this apartment. My panicked photos are inconclusive. I guess I didn’t realize I have a legit fear here 😱

I don’t know if it’s the same place you’re at now, but my son is a junior at Case and a few weeks ago we ended up at place off Euclid with hella AI menu photos and the absolute funniest UI I’ve ever experienced, but the food was excellent!! 😂
Digital menu asking the user about various sandwich additions and subtractions, like add bacon and then indicated the number of pieces.

But it also says minus sauce +/- and minus ketchup +/- then add mayo +/- and how do you even respond?!?!

‘Antisemitism isn’t systemic’ is the Left’s version of ‘the world’s oldest hatred’. An easy slogan that is in fact a sign of impoverished thought, a stubborn unwillingness to think critically & rigorously. One hyperbolizes, the other minimizes;

i am having trouble articulating this but a system that excuses gang rape as a youthful error on behalf of college men with ~ bright futures ~ does so because it is served by producing older men who are comfortable with, even enthusiastic about, torturing people at the system's behest
