SHABBAT SHALOM!

submitted 19 minutes ago • 0 comments

Grateful to @truahrabbis.bsky.social for teaching this important classical midrash: "God created the first human being out of dust from the four corners of the earth [because], every place a person goes, a part of them is from there and a part of them is returning there.”

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

I don't want to be here. I want to be in 1986 San Francisco asking pedestrians where the nuclear wessels are.

I see this is still going around. Don't do this. This is literally, exactly the opposite of what you should do. If things are escalating, and you are uncomfortable, leave.

This is terrifying, so please read this as cope: The Wilshire Federal Building is 15 miles from the protests in downtown Los Angeles. It is a half-hour drive. You could fit an entire Manhattan, the long way, between them.

This week, President Donald Trump attempted to kill, once and for all, California's plan to accelerate the sale of zero-emission cars and trucks in the state—taking aim at their goal to ban the sale of new gas-powered vehicles in the state by 2035. What will that mean for EVs?

In the 1860s, Germany was fighting a war for its place on the map, and Romantic-era music cheered it on. Hold on to your pretzel during this clip from “Rick Steves’ Europe: A Symphonic Journey” as we appreciate how Richard Wagner’s operas mixed Teutonic myths, medieval traditions & Christian themes.

Unironically true as the California pistachio lobby is desperate to prevent the objectively better and cheaper Iranian pistachios from flooding the US market and thus have always been strong anti-Iran lobbiests

After Ratzinger's disastrous papacy the cardinals wanted an outspoken Latino like Francis to remind everyone that the church's mission was to serve the people, after Francis they wanted a soft-spoken nerd who agreed 100% with Francis but knew how to be judicious and diplomatic.

I will say it again like I’ve said 100 times before: one of the most radical things you can do right now to show solidarity is put back on a N 95 or better mask anytime you are outside with people. It is a small signifier that you are invested in community and its health.

In case you’re wondering how wrong what happened to Sen. Padilla was, international news outlets around the world are covering it. That’s how bad it looks.

Just needed to vote for the black lady instead of the felon fraud rapist traitor just because he was a white failson. All you fucking pricks had to do. Literally not a single part of this would be happening right now if you'd just voted for the black lady.

Thread... Take note of what is happening. A Latino Senator Alex Padilla dared to ask Noem a question—he was violently tackled, arrested, & now the Speaker wants him censured. A Jewish Congressman Jerry Nadler challenged Trump—his staffer was handcuffed in an illegal raid by Trump’s goons. 1/5

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

You know what would be a deep cut for #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds to make? Have Paul Wesley's Jim Kirk casually reading a Jaqueline Susann or Harold Robbins novel. Because Kirk is just as or more well-read than Picard. And he loves the late 20th-century classics!

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

This is a human rights atrocity. And on top of that, it's gonna devastate the communities these people live in. Take Springfield Ohio, of eating dogs and cats fame. That city was DYING and has been completely revitalized by the influx of Haitian immigrants. This will undo all of that rebuilding

As authoritarianism is ramping up, the earlier you limit their tracking of you, the better: -Use duckduckgo as your search engine -Use a VPN -Turn your phone off and on each day -Apple maps has better privacy than google maps (and is good, too) -Transition from gmail to a more secure provider
