Trump: I hope Mike Pence does the right thing. If he does the right thing we win the election... all VP Pence has to do is send it back to the state and we [sic] become President and you're the happiest people.
Trump: I said to Mike [Pence], that doesn't take courage. What takes courage is doing nothing.

Trump back to talking about Hillary Clinton, asking how come they didn't rig the election for her in 2016....
Trump again says that it takes Republicans more courage NOT to try and overturn the election. He made the same point about Pence too. Trying to make Republicans afraid of maintaining democracy.
Trump complaining that Barr didn't want to be his personal attorney, and the Supreme Court rule against him because he doesn't phone the Justices often enough.
Trump is now revealing "evidence" that the election was fraudulent. It's nothing new, all the same crap that's been found to be false by multiple courts.

OK, so let's talk about this. The term "Ashkenormativity" is used *internally* in Jewish communal discourse to refer to discrimination against non-Ashkenazi Jews — like north African and Yemenite Jews.
In the US, for example, most Jews are Ashkenazi: their ancestors come from eastern or central Europe, and they follow the traditions, liturgy and religious rulings of the Ashkenazi communities.
Jews from north Africa and the Middle East follow different traditions, which get sort of politically lumped together as Mizrachi, "Eastern" even though Moroccan and Algerian Jews lived WAY west of, say, Polish and Russians.
Why does the far Right hate Taylor Swift so much? Well, *partly* because they used to worship her as a secret White Nationalist 4channer and still feel betrayed that she wasn't actually any of those things.
4chan a decade ago was full of photoshopped pics of Swift in wehrmacht uniforms and excited posts about how her (then) political silence proved she was actually going to be the Aryan mother of the next generation of American Nazis. All total fantasy of course.
Here's an article from 2016 (ht: @SueSandersHere) that talks about the theory at the time.
At a certain point, op-eds in mainstream media started demanding she "speak out" to prove she wasn't a secret neo Nazi.
I am reconnecting after a day offline. This is the worst single day of casualties Israel has suffered in my lifetime. Civilians massacred, reports of many kidnapped into Gaza. More than 100 dead and that total is rising.
Hamas launched this mass surprise attack into Israel, an invasion covered by huge rocket fire, without any escalation or specific trigger. They did it because they can and because they wanted to.
Horror stories are emerging from the towns near to Gaza of massacres, with Hamas cells going house to house. Hamas claims it has kidnapped 53 Israelis, but we'll have to wait to see how true that is.
This is happening now. It's hosted by the Daily Wire and so far it's just Ben Shapiro interviewing Musk, asking hard-hitting conversations like "How do you stand up to the ADL and organizations that want to control speech?".
Also, when talking about Chaya Raichik, Musk pronounces Chaya as if it rhymes with 'China'. Right now he's saying that he's going to find ways to let advertisers choose to advertise next to risky content if they want to.
Ben Shapiro is now praising Musk for "getting rid of the bots", therefore dramatically reducing antisemitism. This is not the typical experience of many Jewish users of this platform.
This paid anti-Ukrain propaganda ad, in Hebrew, just popped up on my Facebook. The cartoon's message is hardly subtle, but let's see what we can find out.
First, the advertiser. It's a nothing Facebook page targeting people based in Israel who've interacted with content like graphic novels and consumer electronics.
The page is running another ad too. Both use the same text:
"Israel should focus all attention on fighting the economic crisis. Supporting the conflicts of others is an unjustified luxury. Every shekel counts"
Fans were angry at the casting of Gale as too handsome and clean in the Hunger Games. Harry Potter fans, 18 years later, are still furious about a single line being delivered angrily rather than CALMLY. Purists gonna purist.
