Desperate Hours Productions @desperatehours.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Part of me appreciates the sympathetic press boycott of the White House over its recent banning of large news outlets.

Desperate Hours Productions @desperatehours.bsky.social · 10/09/2026(For what it’s worth, I don’t remember armed security in shul in the 1980s-90s, and I long thought police in parking lots during High Holidays was just a traffic control issue. But I’ve personally noticed guards at doors at least since the 2010s, from big urban synagogues to small exurban ones.) 000
Desperate Hours Productions @desperatehours.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Good morning. In another forum a non-Jew was shocked by the regular practice of armed guards at American synagogues.
