did the Holocaust end because people started insisting that everyone is created in the image of God? for some reason I thought it was because we killed a bunch of Nazis to stop German expansionism
I’m grieving the deaths of the two Israeli soldiers killed in Hebron today, and praying for the full & speedy recovery of those who were injured.
I’ve spoken out loudly this week against Israel’s occupation of the West Bank, which imposes violence on a daily basis, and I will continue to do so. But violence is not the path to ending it — or to achieving safety, freedom, and peace for both Palestinians and Israelis.
And neither is collective punishment or ethnic cleansing of an entire neighborhood, or punishing millions of people for the criminal act of two, which Netanyahu has promised to enact in response.
I’ve seen a lot this week and I’ll have more to say about in the coming days (I’m on my way home shortly). There is a path to ending this excruciating cycle of violence. It starts by insisting that every life is sacred, that everyone is created in God’s image.
For now: Shabbat Shalom, to everyone who believes in the hard work of making peace & justice a reality, for everyone.

To make it a truly typical MAGA event, the only thing missing from this streamed firing-squad execution of a paraplegic is the issuance of exclusive pay-per-view broadcast rights to a company owned by Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff's son and a consortium of Emirati billionaires.
Not only has the US never televised public executions in its history, but not even the Nazi defendants sentenced to death at the Nuremberg trials had their executions televised (it was deemed violative of the human rights that post-WW2 institutions were trying to re-establish).
The most amazing part of this is that Nidal Hasan is paraplegic and close to 60. So this disgusting spectacle will involve rolling him out in a wheelchair, then live-streaming his body as it's pumped full of bullets.
When I and others pointed out last night that public executions are carried out only by the countries we're told are the most primitive and savage (Afghanistan, North Korea), MAGA enthusisasts replied that we were too weak. Pummeling an old guy in a wheelchair with bullets -- as a reality TV show -- seems like an odd and dubious defintion of "strength," let alone an expression of the western values they endlessly claim they and they alone are trying to salvage.

when your hair is at a perfect length and it's like yayy but also scary because you know soon it will not be... clarice lispector was right Things were somehow so good that they were in danger of becoming very bad because what is fully mature is very close to rotting.
Im going to cry. Pretty sure this is the guy who’s been making me smile for years because every time I see him he’s playing evanescence on the speaker he wheels around the park
if your roommate’s gf/bf comes over on the weekends and you don’t make an effort to get to know them and refer to them as a “stranger” infringing on your down time then it sounds like you need to learn about the value of relationship building and also how to make weekend plans :D
me on my way home after getting fired from my zara larsson job for not doing the goon face
“The people I work with, we have this thing…I want everyone around me to be able to do a goon face. To me, it’s like, ‘are you free, are you care free, are you yourself, can you be silly?’ If I ask someone on the spot to make a goon face, and they’re like ‘I can’t do this’ I’m like, you gotta go, you’re fired.”
