“Oh, so because I support Trump/MAGA, that automatically makes me a bigot?” To be clear: With absolute certainty, YES. Without doubt, YES. A million times, YES. As sure as the turning of the Earth, YES. Truer than anything that’s ever been true, YES.

fiiiinally catching up with the last few birthday doodle requests; this one came from @invertebabe.bsky.social on insta: "cephalopod with a scuba suit ready to take over land"
Ink on paper drawing of a green cuttlefish riding a skateboard and wearing a SCABA (self-contained abovewater breathing apparatus) tank. It's a rebreather, with one hose bringing oxygenated water into the mantle and another hose at the siphon taking water away to have more oxygen added. The cuttlefish is also wearing a mask to keep water over its eyes so it can see better on land.

NEW: Sen. Mark Kelly RESPONDS to Pete Hegseth for censuring him, cutting his military pension, threatening to demote his rank, and warning of possible criminal prosecution for telling soldiers to obey their oath.
Sen. Kelly statement: Over twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy, thirty-nine combat missions, and four missions to space, I risked my life for this country and to defend our Constitution – including the First Amendment rights of every American to speak out. I never expected that the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense would attack me for doing exactly that.
My rank and retirement are things that I earned through my service and sacrifice for this country. I got shot at. I missed holidays and birthdays. I commanded a space shuttle mission while my wife Gabby recovered from a gunshot wound to the head– all while proudly wearing the American flag on my shoulder. Generations of servicemembers have made these same patriotic sacrifices for this country, earning the respect, appreciation, and rank they deserve.
Pete Hegseth wants to send the message to every single retired servicemember that if they say something he or Donald Trump doesn’t like, they will come after them the same way. It’s outrageous and it is wrong. There is nothing more un-American than that.
If Pete Hegseth, the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in our country’s history, thinks he can intimidate me with a censure or threats to demote me or prosecute me, he still doesn’t get it. I will fight this with everything I’ve got — not for myself, but to send a message back that Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump don’t get to decide what Americans in this country get to say about their government.

For non-Jews/non-NYers: It's crucial to understand that Jews in NYC have always been treated as a uniform political bloc, and Jews who oppose Israel's policy toward Palestinians have always been treated as marginal/dismissable. A public breaking-off of 1/3 of NY Jews from that history is monumental.
