I remember the first time I visited a Baptist church around age 5. I was so blown away by seeing a swimming pool in the sanctuary.

There's displacement. I also think that since trump's opening salvo in 2017 was anti-Muslim some people got stuck there and it allowed Palestinian activists to insinuate themselves into the "resistance".

Ruth Zardo @celizwh.bsky.social · 09/10/2026

For me it's as simple as this: For the dupes, Palestinians are proxies for their own free-floating feelings of grievance. So of course they don't really know anything.

The tantrums which will follow a blue tsunami in November worry me more than election interference, but it's our only hope.

Head Start plays a pivotal role in communities across #MO05. That’s why I joined nearly 200 lawmakers in demanding the Trump administration end its assault on this program that countless families and children depend on. abcnews.com/Politics/dem...

Democrats push back on Trump administration's 'brazen' attempt to roll back education standards

Democrats are urging HHS Secretary Kennedy to stop proposed changes to Head Start, calling the reforms illegal and "antithetical" to the mission of Head Start.

I think it is just a game. They look at international conflicts as if they're choosing who to root for in the Superbowl, though they'll never admit it to themselves.

In 1967, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Kuwait, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia, Sudan, Libya, and the PLO, supported by the Soviet Union, mobilized their militaries with the explicit goal of annihilating Israel. #History #SixDayWar #MiddleEastHistory #IsraelHistory #ArabHistory

I used to be somewhat sympathetic to the Palestinian cause and now I wonder why. The whole history of the I-P conflict follows this same playbook.

It reminds me of the cosplay revolutionaries running around in red & black panuelos in the 80s. (I went to Nicaragua as a TecNica volunteer. I was fairly sympathetic to the Sandinistas, but boy, did I encounter a lot of fools. 8 1/2 x 11s every one of them.)

Neiman Marcus closed its downtown Dallas flagship on Wednesday. The store played a notable role in the history of desegregation in Dallas. Previously, Black shoppers across the US could enter department stores, but they weren't allowed to try on clothes without adhering to certain conditions. 🧵

A notice about the Neiman Marcus store opening in downtown Dallas.

We had so many inactives (what they call it in MO) in the August primary. It really slows down the process. Take care of it NOW.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1904: A train filled with white, Catholic orphans pulls into Clifton, Ariz. Enraged that the children are being adopted by Mexican American families, a white mob abducts the children from their new homes at gunpoint and redistributes them to white families. /1

Some of the Irish Catholic orphans who arrived by train in Clifton, Ariz., in 1904. The Arizona Orphan Abduction of 1904 remains one of the most explosive and revealing chapters in the history of race relations and family law. The aftermath permanently altered the trajectory of child welfare. The Supreme Court ruling codified race as the most critical factor in child placement, cementing the doctrine that non-white parents had no legal right to raise a white child. The case normalized a practice in which social workers matched children to parents based on racial categories, a standard that lasted into the late 20th century. Eastern charities drastically scaled back sending children to western territories, shifting instead to localized, legally sterile foster systems. The children stolen in Arizona never returned to New York and never saw their Mexican mothers again. They grew up as white Protestants, their identities rewritten by a flashpoint of frontier racial panic.

IDK, it's kind of refreshing to see a straight up *Republican* harassing a Democratic lawmaker. Makes a nice change.

America was ready for a white woman president in 2016 when Hillary crushed Trump in the popular vote. America came within 1.5 points of electing a Black woman president in 2024 after only 107 days of campaigning. We are very close to getting it right.

Hawley is a nazi and canny. Schmitt is just a f*cking idiot. I pray to Bob we can flip some seats in the GA come November and maybe some day get rid of both of these clowns.

He's way worse than Hawley in some ways but perhaps less dangerous because he's so stupid.

I went to march against trump I's immigration policy. It was sidewalk only, no street permit. So this numpty steps off the sidewalk right in front of a cop, then dances around with a big grin "I got arrested". Last time I participated with that org. I don't associate with fools.

The American public has an attitude of entitlement when it comes to Democrats repairing Republican damage. Reality shows that it's more like cleaning up an oil spill. But the American public wants it done in 30 minutes or less like Domino's Pizza, or they get pissy and let the Republicans back in.
