Taxes are the price we pay to help Israel literally violate Torah in their genocide of Palestine.

Palestinian villagers wailed over the mangled remains of their olive trees on Wednesday after Israel's military uprooted them with bulldozers, days ahead of the annual ‌olive harvest, normally a source of joy for Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

A year ago Monday, our son called her up and said he loved her. Right after that, she took this. They had a whirlwind flurry of love and texts. Three weeks later, she was gone. 💜💔

Dad used to have a saying: "I said 'no'. What do you want me to say: 'Hell, no'?" At age 48, he won't take my no for an answer. And he won't even talk to a counselor with me about it. Headed to the district clerk today to file my petition for name change.

Small black and white picture of Douglas Adams

 “It comes from a very ancient democracy, you see..."
"You mean, it comes from a world of lizards?"
"No," said Ford, who by this time was a little more rational and coherent than he had been, having finally had the coffee forced down him, "nothing so simple. Nothing anything like so straightforward. On its world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
"Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
"I did," said Ford. "It is."
"So," said Arthur, hoping he wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't people get rid of the lizards?"
"It honestly doesn't occur to them," said Ford. "They've all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they've voted in more or less approximates to the government they want."
"You mean they actually vote for the lizards?"
"Oh yes," said Ford with a shrug, "of course."
"But," said Arthur, going for the big one again, "why?"
"Because if they didn't vote for a lizard," said Ford, "the wrong lizard might get in. Got any gin?"
"What?"
"I said," said Ford, with an increasing air of urgency creeping into his voice, "have you got any gin?"
"I'll look. Tell me about the lizards."
Ford shrugged again.
"Some people say that the lizards are the best thing that ever happenned to them," he said. "They're completely wrong of course, completely and utterly wrong, but someone's got to say it."
"But that's terrible," said Arthur.
"Listen, bud," said Ford, "if I had one Altairian dollar for every time I heard one bit of the Universe look at another bit of the Universe and say 'That's terrible' I wouldn't be sitting here like a lemon looking for a gin.”

Fascinating report from my colleague @yonat.bsky.social as part our @npr.org partnership: a look into an anti-Zionist synagogue. www.npr.org/2025/03/03/n...
npr.org
This synagogue calls itself 'anti-Zionist.' Here's what that means in practice
Tzedek Chicago calls itself anti-Zionist congregation, meaning it does not support a Jewish nation-state.
