SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Some of my work the last couple years has involved equipping policy advocates and benefits administrators with shared context to discuss fraud, since so many legislators (even well meaning ones) think the issue is petty fraudsters or local fraud networks when in reality it's mostly big scam farms.

'I was a combat soldier in an elite IDF unit. I served in the West Bank and witnessed firsthand how settlers could do whatever they wanted with impunity.'
נדב וימן Nadav Weiman

I was a combat soldier in an elite IDF unit. I served in the West Bank and witnessed firsthand how settlers could do whatever they wanted with impunity.

Today I’m the Executive Director of ״Breaking the Silence״ an organization that has collected thousands of testimonies from Israeli soldiers over the past two decades.

And I can say with certainty that this statement by IDF spokesperson is a lie. The IDF is not trying to stop Jewish terrorism in the occupied territories. In fact, it protects Jewish terrorists and arms them with US-made M16 rifles.

If the IDF genuinely wanted to stop Jewish terrorism, the Chief of Staff could simply order the 30,000 soldiers stationed in the West Bank to carry out arrests. It’s that simple.

One of the many things I love about El-Sayed is that he's willing to engage with someone hostile if it gets them to admit the premises behind that hostility, to the extent that it becomes impossible to avoid the underlying bigotry. You want to go there, fine, but he's gonna make you own it.

We already have flying cars. They're called helicopters. They're really expensive and there are good reasons you have to have a pilot license and work with air traffic control to fly them. Putting jets on a sedan is not going to result in a better vehicle or transportation experience in any way.

too long to post but i had a thought
@ruemcclammyhand 

i think the thing a lot of non-adopted people don't realize is that being adopted feels a lot more like being employed than being accepted into a family. there's an economic reality here that doesn't show up in other child/parent relationships and jokes about being 'sent back' can feel extremely real (and
'rehoming' happens all the time). it's actually a lot more like one-sided at-will employment where you can get fired at any time but you're also not allowed to leave.
