ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink.

This is ICE:
Cold blooded murderers. They shoot an American leaving.
This is fascism.
This is authoritarian violence.
If this happened in a country the US wanted to invade or regime change, this would be used as justification to do so
Just another reason to fight the fascist regime in DC.

And to all who observe Nittel Nacht today: most meaningful greetings to you too ♟️
In the community I grew up, we did 12 hours "Der Groiser Nittel" from 12 PM to 11:59 PM. Some do from sunset, and some from 6 PM.
If you never study Torah anyway, at least tonight you are being traditional doing so 😉

Wishing a meaningful Nittel Nacht to all of us who observe 🫠
For the players:
May all your chess move lead to the perfect checkmate.
For the traditionalists:
Happy toiliet-paper cutting.
For the Medievalists:
Don't believe everything you read in Toledot Yeshu.

Finally, for those who wanna conceive heretics:
May you enjoy your sexual relation tonight...
Okay, for all who have no idea what I am talking about:
Nittel (lit: medieval Latin for Christmas, though common Yiddish etymology is "The Hanged One") is a Yiddish name for Kratzmich (Christmas) Eve.

Opposing US actions in Venezuela isn't about supporting the Venezuelan government, their dictatorship, or human rights violations.
It's about the fact that the US doesn't care for Venezuelans (see: deportations for example). It's about the fact that this isn't about democracy.

We are about to read at synagogues:
"אָרוּר אַפָּם כִּי עָז, וְעֶבְרָתָם כִּי קָשָׁתָה.
Cursed be their anger so fierce, And their wrath so relentless."
Waking up to the criminal imperialist actions of the US in Venezuela. One that our government has admitted is about oil - regardless of what they say now.
