this is why we say acab: even when they know their orders are wrong, they follow through
![“We’ve been asking this question, but now what are they doing illegal?” one Texas Department of Public Safety officer asked.
“What?” asked another DPS officer.
“What are they doing illegal now? What if this was after a game or something? This many people [are] out … after a basketball game. We do this after the Aggie games?” the first officer asked.
“No,” the second officer replied.
“All right, let’s shit or get off the pot,” a third officer said.
“We’re going to do it so they won’t get agitated,” a fourth officer said.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rnyj32ny3jifxedc5bx4jlls/bafkreibczdbzhy3ixjzlzk52rzj5mkcbxet5j4g3fmt5sdkifoku3i66iq@jpeg)

Elon may be too rich and powerful to face consequences for his nazi salute but most of the people who imitate him are not and it is in everyone’s best interest to make it as painful as possible for them
yesterday it came to light that calvin robinson, a priest who recently lost his license for giving an elon-esque nazi salute at a pro life conference, owns a video game site called god is a geek. today the site's entire staff quit in protest

Unsurprisingly, the regret rate for trans affirming treatment is lower than any other major medical procedure - by a lot!

He’s getting closer to sending them to the thing everyone won’t say out loud.
Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo.
"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

Father Calvin Robinson finished his remarks at the National Pro-Life Summit by throwing an Elon Musk salute, much to the delight of the crowd.

Ok so the “Elon” (Nazi) salute is gonna become a meme now huh. Like people are gonna be “ironically” throwing these every day to “own the libs”. That’s totally cool and not at all horrifying.
When we get pictures of a room full of right wingers all doing a Nazi salute, will it start to matter then?

this is the funniest possible response to a post about the talmud, literally an encyclopedia brittanica-length series of religious arguments with bonus dueling commentators
Avoid using religious arguments to justify decisions about right and wrong. It should go the other way: our sense of right and wrong should be our guide to what is good or bad about religion.

I have several articles that I’ve agreed to write (and the website agreed to publish) that I have not worked on for… several months. Mainly because all my Jewish writing energy has been tied up in applying to rabbinical school, but man, it would really be good if I actually did these articles

When you use alt text, I'm thrilled. I love reading what people write. I love to read how people interpret what they see, what they think is important, the details I might not otherwise have known to see, the piece of knowledge you're introducing me to. It's a flexible, fabulous tool.
