The doctor will not give the time/day of the positive diagnosis. He only gives the time of the "repeated test." Further, he will not give the time of the last negative test. This means, at the very least, they are being cagey about the timeline.
We don't know the exact timeline b/c the doctors said "72" hours & the WH corrected that to "3 days." I do not, of course, trust the WH, but these conflicting statements means it's hard to pin down the timeline.

We *do* know they are being evasive about it.
They are also being evasive about whether Trump has been on oxygen. If he hadn't been, I'm pretty sure they would have told us. These answers read very much to me like he was on oxygen at some point.

Another note: the doctor won't say when the last negative test was, but will say when the repeat test was given. Does this mean the previous test was positive? When was the *last* test before the repeat and *what* was the result?

Just as a matter of shared truth/history: there was a period in the Summer of 2024 when Black Democrats were begging "activists," et al. to vote for Kamala Harris for the good of Black Americans & others who would be especially vulnerable under Trump. They were met w/ racism.
This is something that happened. Because it happened, we should acknowledge & document it, at the very least.
We can get into the details of the Israel vs. Hamas war, which, perhaps, could be more aptly named Hamas vs. Israel, given the belligerent party. Any reasonable person should see, however, that it was a long, complicated conflict over which the U.S. did not have that much control

My mom had been pressuring me to try to engage w/ some community & her focus was on the Orthodox church. I told her I'd prefer to visit the Reform synagogue close by, which welcomes people of all backgrounds.

(The Orthodox church here is absolutely lovely and always welcomes me too, in the most wonderful way; but it's just not the same kind of thing, with the same kind of community activities; There's other Orthodox related stuff in my history that I won't get into; & I'm independently interested in learning more about Judaism).

So anyway my mom's happy about the idea of synagogue attendance, but did tease me when I snuck away during this convo. "YOU HAVE TO KNOW THIS STORY IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO SYNAGOGUE MAG!" She is probably right.

For the record!, my dad started giving his historically-informed 15 minute lecture on Uriah for an entirely different reason. We were watching a BBC adaptation of David Copperfield & one of the characters is named Uriah. Afterwards my dad was like, "Do we KNOW the story of Uriah the Hittite?"

My mom said to my dad, 'I know the story, but I'd like to hear you tell it again" and then snuggled down in her blanket for the long-haul. Knowing my Dad I already began to creep away, lol. His lectures are great, but it was like 11:00 at night. This is when my mother, probably appropriately, shamed me. I'll have to ask my father to tell the story again.
These kinds of interactions/transitions are the story of my life, lol. For example: Image

I'm interested in learning more about Judaism for many reasons, but a major one is that the closest thing I've ever had to a true spiritual experience is the music of Leonard Cohen. Cohen incorporates themes from many spiritualities in his music. I would like to learn more about his references to Judaism more specifically, out of intellectual interest, as well as to understand the feeling of spirituality I have experienced. His music opened a door to a broader curiosity I am interested in exploring.

The Arab peoples in Gaza and the West Bank are not more indigenous to the area than the Jewish people of that same region. This isn't a commentary on gov't policy. (The Settlers are bad). I just don't know why we accept "indigenity" as a truthful premise when it's not one.
People who practiced Judaism were in that region before people who practiced Christianity and both those people were there before the practice of Islam. This is a factual timeline. It should not be disputed. Or morally-repurposed. It's just what the timeline is.
I am getting more and more frustrated by the levels of untruth we accept. For apparently "moral" (?) reasons. Why do we accept "The indigenous people of Palestine" as a description in opposition to Jewish populations when that is just clearly false?

It is fundamentally quite irritating that we allow anyone associated with "The Young Turks" lecture us about nation states or genocide. "Oh, I was UNAWARE of what The Young Turks did." If you were, why are you talking about Sykes-Picot & state-building in post-Ottoman lands?
If you were so naïve as to what the Young Turks did, why should we listen to you about Israel or anything else in the post-Ottoman world? Why, in particular, should we be forced to endure your rants about genocide?
You're either a naïf who knows NOTHING about the Young Turks--and therefore literally nothing about genocide--or you actively chose to name your platform after the people who inspired Raphael Lemkin to coin the word "genocide." Image

In 2016, HRC said something along the lines of "My personal opinions are often different (more progressive) than my public opinions" & people acted like she'd just revealed herself to be Beelzebub. HRC wasn't alone in that approach. Dems acted w/ this separation for decades.
Joe Biden changed history on LGBTQ rights not because his opinion diverged that much from mainstream center-left Democrats *but* because he blurted out what many already believed: gay marriage was good. This worked out well for us. The time was right. Image
Somewhere along the line, this approach changed. HRC's "separation" of personal from political was pilloried. Bernie & his acolytes shifted the party "left"--including, in 2019-20 on social issues that Bernie himself didn't even really care about. Everything became a purity test.

I really do think we are in a dangerous moment in terms of antisemitism. Yes, already dangerous. But a # of factors that are interacting & I think it will get worse. Dems aren't the only social force responsible for this, but they do need to get better on the issue as a group.
I've talked about the rise of antisemitism in the U.S. quite a bit. I'm not trying to address that rise, now, specifically, though it is a constant. I am trying to identify a new specific danger with which the "rise" interacts.
The U.S. rightwing is having a discussion centered around Nick Fuentes and antisemitism. The US leftwing (broadly construed) is not speaking up, partially because we have antisemitism problems in our own ranks. There's weakness on all fronts. Nick Fuentes will probably succeed.
