She’s right to be mad here.
My record on Palestine speaks for itself. I’m proud of it. One of the strongest in Congress. I throw down for pro-Palestine candidates. Largely unrecognized work. That’s fine. Disagreements are fine, too. But if you want to toss all that for 1 half assed MTG stunt, be my guest. I know where I stand.

25. Any opinion about "religion" or "all religions" is wrong. Religions are very different from each other and cannot be combined into a single category. Even "religion" is not a well-defined category.

Pro-Palestine Jews have been warning everyone for a long time that antisemitic opportunists are using the pro-Palestine cause disingenuously for their own ends. MTG is just the most obvious and high-profile example and I promise that none of (((us))) are surprised. This is not “The Twilight Zone.”

You do not, under any circumstances, ever have to approvingly quote MTG
She doesn't care about Gaza, she hates jews. And Palestinians. And trans people for that matter. She'd gleefully butcher every single one of the above groups herself if she got the chance.

had an argument with my mother that these aren't "real christians". surprise surprise, they fucking are. i don't care if it's not your branch of christianity and there are good ones out there, right now the loudest, most destructive bunch call themselves christians and they are recognized as such.
It’s an uphill struggle getting people to accept that Christians can be bad people.
But the even harder truth that people urgently need to grasp in this time of Christofascism is that for some understandings of Christianity, to be a GOOD Christian is to be a BAD person.

Bend the Arc warns that food aid is not enough, immediate ceasefire with mass medical intervention will be required to save lives of those in starvation. Refeeding syndrome can put Palestinians in Gaza in even MORE risk without medical care.
A statement from Bend the Arc CEO @jamieberan.bsky.social:
Food aid to Gaza is critical. And it won’t be enough.
Yesterday, 35 rabbis were arrested in Washington, D.C. and New York City.
A day prior, another eight rabbis were arrested. Tens of thousands of Jews have taken action. 🧵

Programming as a profession suffers from bias, gatekeeping, discrimination (sex, age, disability), overspecialization, outsourcing, “bro culture” amongst other negatives.
But there is literally nothing stopping anyone from learning to code. There are more free resources available than ever.

Ada Loveland, Grace Hopper and Margaret Hamilton are the patron saints of programming for good reason.
Hamilton also coined the term "software engineering"; she got told off for it by (male) hardware engineers as they felt it was "inflating her work's importance".

Never forgive men for treating programming as a meaningless thing your secretary did while women were inventing and developing the field, then, once they realized it was going to be important, shoving women out of it and claiming only Male Logic Brains could perform it.

what this is, above all else, is the biggest green light we’ve ever seen for Dem primary challenges
the Dem base is deeply, deeply angry at the party for not doing more to oppose Trump and the door is wide open for anyone who is serious about doing more on that front

Michael Wolfe said Epstein showed him photos of Trump sitting with topless underage girls who were pointing at a cum stain on his pants.
And, oddly, Mr Litigation never sued Wolfe for defamation. Strange, why would he not sue someone for saying something that specific and a false…? 🤔🤔🤔
