43.02/ Sunday was wonderful but exhausting. It was my daughter's Bat Mitzvah and we turned it into a celebration for her two grandmothers on #MothersDay as well. It was socially distanced, highly zoomed, and amazing. But I'm wrung out like a sponge.
43.04/ Trying to find an accurate term to describe what I believe is the necessary balance as a compassionate person between changing the status-quo to help (more) people while maintaining the social stability which a thriving & peaceful society requires.
43.05/ Nothing like the Arab-Israeli conflict to bring out the worst in folks.
Many self-described people for "justice" that I read and know are clear that they're OK with dehumanization & death as long as it's against the "correct" people.
I see you. And I beg: choose life!
43.06/ Agree with this whole mini-thread by @QueenMab87.
For my experience, I haven't seen such overt, public antisemitic laden anti-Israel statements since 2006, and it's a little scary.
43.09/ I muted the Br*enigs long ago because they struck me as religious zealots who treat other people with contempt & disdain. The #TrumpCrisis years have taught me to yeet anyone who belittles and dehumanizes. Hasn't failed yet.
43.21/ I'd suggest there's a high correlation between those of us wary about the CDC's mask-off directive and those of us who are surrounded by RedHat wackaloons (and/or in high density populations)
I know too many scofflaws (scoffscience?) to let my guard down.
43.22/ Agreed. Liberals (like me) need to understand why antisemitism is not a normal bigotry -- it's becomes an encompassing conspiracy-thinking worldview of hate
209.02/ Following the assassination attempt on TFG yesterday - an act I condemn; ballots not bullets - the reaction by news agencies has been unhinged. But I'm singling out The Daily Beast and Politico who are lionizing TFG using very disturbing rhetoric. I've had to unfollow.
209.03/ I'm furious that so many in Congress are playing this dangerous game but I'm reminding myself that (1) the MSM has been fabricating stories & amplifying mythological pro-GOP nonsense for a while now & (2) I trust Biden's abilities to handle this like he did NATO.
208.02/ Demographically, I should be part of the "elite" but the past two weeks showed me that I'm a solid true-blue member of the Democratic "base" because I'm standing by Biden-Harris & have a white-hot rage against the media (& the cowards in my party) trying to take us down.
208.03/ People ask "Why haven't the media learned their lesson from 'But Her Emails?' in 2016"?! But the answer is QED - they did learn their lesson: that with relentless bad-faith attacks they can knock out the Democrat & elect a cash-cow tabloid buffoon. They know & want this.
207.02/ I didn't see the debate because I can't stand listening to Trump (ym'sh). The bizarre meltdown by the MSM calling for Biden to drop out is not only disgusting but reignited the normie-Democrats' blazing anger at the MSM goofs that brought us "But Her Emails" in 2016.
207.03/ Ironically, the drumbeat from the MSM about Biden's age for months - probably starting right after the withdrawal from Afghanistan which ruined their gravy train - prepared the public for how he sounded at the debate. The MSM hit-job backfired.
205.02/ It's important to know: every pawn can become a queen.
