Stop hiding behind ”anti-Zionism.” Word after word, action after action shows such raw ugly hatred for Jewish people, whether it’s an elder survivor of the horrors of the Holocaust or a child who has done nothing in their short life but bring joy into their little corner of the world.

If they're standing in your way and don't immediately move, report. If they question you as you're going to put in your ballot, report. Report. Report. Report.

Each flag a remembrance of a life well lived. Each flag represents the grief of loved ones mourning the violent murder of a cherished daughter, son, mother, uncle, grandma, friend, lover. Tell me again about this movements compassion, concern, and empathy for human life and suffering.

While in evangelical Christianity I spent far too many years arguing this point. Faith must be consistent and its teachings not in conflict with itself if it is to hold any meaning at all. If all life is precious to God then ALL life is precious to God. A murderer, an immigrant, a pregnant woman...

The pro-pali movement has no basis in reality but then they don’t care about reality so it’s all good. Are there hungry children in Gaza? Yes. Are there hungry children in America? Yes. And internal corruption and greed by despicable leadership should be held to account.

Here's a tip for the #StayReadyCrew. It's a way to make a powdered mix for all those holiday recipes that call for sweetened condensed milk. It's shelf-stable, saves money, and pantry space. Every time I go to grab a can from my pantry the expiry date is months past due so I'm giving this a try.

Felt every word of this in my bones. And not just from those wanting to offend “liberals” but “centrists” and “the establishment.” You’re unserious children playing dangerous games.

That was the final straw. Keep all your fuzzy filter photos of him holding a puppy or bending down to talk to a child. Miss me with the photo ops he inserts himself into as though he’s the new savior of NYC, and unfollow me. Better yet, add me to a list labeled “Genocide Lover” or “Blue MAGA.”

A 10 minute walk in 94 degree weather and she’s done for the day. And don’t worry. She stayed off the hot pavement. By the way, a 10 minute walk in 94 degree weather and I’m done for the day too.

U.S. Postal Service

Postmarks

The U.S. Postal Service has clarified when mail gets a postmark:

The USPS postmarks mail when they process it, not when they receive it.

Ballots mailed on Election Day may not be postmarked on that day.

How does this affect voting by mail?

Do not wait until Election Day to mail your ballot, since this could risk your ballot not being postmarked in time to be counted.

We recommend mailing your ballot at least a week before Election Day or dropping your ballot in one of our secure, official ballot drop boxes.

We encourage you to drop your ballot in one of our official ballot drop boxes.

If my ballot arrives in the mail today (should be today or tomorrow) I will immediately fill it out, seal the envelope, sign it, and then get in my car and drive to the nearest ballot drop-box location before deciding what to fix for dinner. Please get your ballot in as soon as humanly possible.

My favorite meal to make & eat on a hot day is Chinese Chicken Salad. Finely shaved Napa & red cabbage, scallions, carrots, & other bits of veggies, along with dry ramen noodles, almonds, chicken, sesame seeds, mandarin oranges, topped with fresh sesame ginger dressing. Cold, crisp, sweet, savory.

White people, we really need to wake up to the painful truth that systemic racism in this country has ignored/covered/changed facts when it comes to Black lives and Black deaths from day one. Stop deferring to "official reports" and instead listen to and believe Black voices saying different.

Look at their account before giving of your time & energy to engage with them. Do they have any original posts or do they just reply on other's posts? Are they a new account or did they post a few times around 2024 and then nothing since recently? Who do they follow? Odds are, this is that guy.
