Just sitting here reminding everyone that last year when I represented antigenocide protesters and begged and pleaded with everyone to stop calling my clients Hamas because it was wrong and dangerous...everyone then called ME Hamas
This is who they want to portray as an agent of Hamas.

Conclave is a classy, beautifully shot, high-minded film for adults that's plotted like an Agatha Christie whodunit and ends on an unabashedly hopeful moral high note á la 12 Angry Men. It ponders big, important questions in the vessels of fragile, flawed human beings. 5 stars.

Okay, I’m hoping this will gain some traction on Bluesky *inhales* SALEM PUBLIC LIBRARY IN OREGON IS IN DANGER OF CLOSING. This sets a dangerous precedent for state capital libraries!!
This is a continuation of the saga from last year, when we were saved at the last second by the then-mayor. (1/2)

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
