The #Holocaust was the first widely photographed mass atrocity. The #LastSeen project is collecting images of Nazi deportations, often the last photos memorializing victims before their deaths.

Historians Uncover New Evidence That Jesus Made Annoying Smacking Sound After Every Sip Of Wine
JERUSALEM—Shedding new light on the religious leader’s personal life, historians announced the discovery of new evidence Friday that suggests Jesus Christ made an annoying smacking sound after every sip of wine. “We’ve recovered a portion of a previously unexamined ancient text that details Jesus of Nazareth blessing some wine, taking a ceremonial swig from the goblet, and then making a loud tongue-clicking sound with His mouth,” biblical scholar Fatima Harisi said of the contents of a tattered Aramaic scroll, which was likely used as a source text for the New Testament and which describes all 12 apostles cringing and rolling their eyes at one another when Christ engaged in the behavior. “While there is some speculation as to whether the Son of God had chronic dry mouth or whether this was just how He involuntarily expressed a feeling of refreshment, the text clearly implies that it happened all the time, mentioning that His followers often became distracted during Jesus’ lectures once they noticed the aggravating tick. Rarely have we seen a personality trait of Jesus Himself rendered in such meticulous detail, with one passage including a hand-marked tally of how many times He did it over the course of a single dinner. The text also states that Jesus followed the lip-smacking with an emphatic moan that was ‘as unsettling as it was irritating,’ but still ‘slightly less infuriating’ than when He gargled it.” Harisi went on to read several additional passages that detail complaints about Jesus ‘shaking the whole goddamn table’ by constantly jiggling His leg.

A lot of people seem to think following the U.S. Constitution is optional—like picking which shoes to wear in the morning. It’s not. If you’re within the boundaries of the United States, the Constitution applies to you.

Imagine if Democratic lawmakers went and took photos of themselves in front of the insurrectionists in their prison cells. Except there had been no trials, and those people were being tortured and huddled together like animals at a slaughterhouse.

Overseas pressure groups targeting civil society in the UK is something that urgently needs more scrutiny. The National Trust has frequently been campaigned against via a group whose directors and funders are thousands of miles away.

Remember that love is a gift of the Divine, not simply a human emotion. As imperfect human beings we are not always able to feel loving toward one another, but by opening ourselves to the Light Within, we can receive and give love beyond our human capacity. — #15h-and-practice/advices-and-queries" class="hover:underline text-blue-600 dark:text-sky-400 no-card-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-link="bsky">New England Yearly Meeting #15

The unlawful arrest and deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a legal tragedy, a human tragedy and a moral outrage.

Stand up and speak out now.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

At a GOP town hall last night, heckling from constituents was apparently too much to handle—so they used police force and even stun guns on their own constituents. What are they so afraid of? Someone disagreeing with their views?
