I love seeing Christians’ first reactions to the Hebrew text of the Torah. Today, my Catholic classmate learned for the very first time that Moses split the “Reed Sea,” not the “Red Sea.” It blew her mind! #Jewish

This is an impeachable statement. It should be a career-ending scandal to avoid a question, especially one of grave import and consequence, by claiming ignorance about the most basic fundamental aspect of your job.
Suddenly republicans have forgotten what the constitution says 🤷🏼 🇺🇸

We shouldn't go around pushing Republicans into pits or anything, but the idea of treating them as merely fellow citizens who we happen to have disagreements with is preposterous. They are wicked people. They contradict themselves and their purported values all the time. Stop being surprised by it.

They can kidnap us, they can brutalize us, they can threaten us, they can harass us, they can even kill us but THERE ARE SO MANY MORE OF US and WE ARE UNITED AGAINST THEM MAN, WOMAN, AND CHILD and so THEY CANNOT WIN
All the time the kidnappers waste in vain intimidation attempts against the good people of Minnesota is time they do not spend kidnapping. The kidnappers are swamped, trudging through an infinite slog of resolute solidarity… They do not have the numbers, their productivity decreases, they can't win.
Here’s a really tense ICE situation in front of my home. One car looped a block 25 times until two reinforcement cars showed up and led me home. Was pretty scary because I was solo - BUT I knew I had backup from thousands of courageous neighbors and observers. Strength in numbers.

If this person who burned a synagogue had cited the Quran in defending their antisemitic attack, we'd be reading dozens of news stories about Islamic extremism. Since he cited the Book of Revelation, the media really needs to connect this to extremist forms of white Christianity.
The FBI says that a suspect in the arson fire at the Beth Israel Congregation in Jackson, Mississippi, admitted to targeting the institution because of its “Jewish ties.”
Court documents say 19-year-old Stephen Spencer Pittman called the historic house of worship "a synagogue of Satan."

I think we learned from the White House yesterday how important it is that people keep seeing the Jan. 6 videos.
The more people able (physically, emotionally, and psychologically) to watch videos makes it that much harder for the truth to be twisted.

People seeing the video is how you ensure there are consequences. I never watched the George Floyd video, I just couldn’t, but we shouldn’t hide these crimes from the public.
I’m gonna go against what other people are saying and say you should watch the video *if* you feel psychologically capable of it (no shame in not wanting to). It’s not graphic, you see no gore or blood or bodies.
