Can a nation organized and governed such as ours endure? A whole world looks to see what we will do. We cannot fail their trust. We cannot fail to try.

Same synagogue:

“On Sept 18, 1967, Ku Klux Klan members planted a bomb that destroyed much of the Rabbi’s office and part of the library.

“Two months later, the same Klan members bombed the Nussbaum home while the rabbi was home with his wife. No one was hurt.”

An arsonist hit a Mississippi synagogue Saturday. Seven Torahs were damaged or destroyed in the fire.

One Torah, from the Holocaust, was in a glass case and wasn't touched.

The same synagogue was bombed by the KKK in 1967.

I think this Bears team might be the ultimate Chicago team: always down, never out.

Trump talks about Denmark and Greenland just now: "The fact that they landed a boat there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land."

Can I buy Gene Hackman as a ski coach? Yes, I think I can. Dabney Coleman? Too soon to tell. #DownhillRacer #tcmparty

I do fondly remember learning to count and tell time and read a clock while watching the alpine skiing on “Wide World of Sports” in the early 1970s. The agony of defeat, or da feet! #DownhillRacer #tcmparty

It’s a VERY ominous, insidious score for a ski movie. Of all the instruments I might associate with alpine downhill skiing, the harpsichord would be at the bottom, with the tuba and the moonshine jug. Another example of the 1960s harpsichord fixation run amok. #DownhillRacer #tcmparty

I like “Step Into Your Power” by Ray La Montagne quite a bit. It’s pretty soulful for a white guy. #tcmparty

Pretty appropriate that the character who declares “Every man should look out for himself!” should go on to study economics at Stanford (btw I hold a BA in economics from Stanford) #MenOfTheFightingLady #tcmparty

look I am generally cautious about applying the language of martyrdom to contemporary events before all the facts are known, but everything that has come out in the last few days makes me feel only more comfortable using that language for what happened to Renee Good

Weird how CBS keeps pulling news segments that cast Trump's administration in a negative light
A career federal agent says that in 25 years, a fleeing vehicle has never justified killing its occupant, and officers should never stand in front of a running car. CBS reportedly pulled the interview, but it posted on YouTube.

Again, the Bureau has a lot of right-wingers. But ultimately, historically, the Bureau's politics is the Bureau. That is their loyalty. They don't like being humiliated, degraded, hobbled, or made to seem they are in service of anybody but the Bureau.
And we’re presuming it’s non-MAGA MN FBI who have leaked it cuz they’re pissed off?
