This is how I feel teaching my Christian students the finer points of Augustine, Luther, or even Genesis as a life long non-Christian.

Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

The Democratic Party needs a new and bold direction. I will not support Chuck Schumer’s reelection as Democratic leader.

Utterly scandalous that this isn't getting wider traction and outrage.
A clear national asset & treasure, a repository for knowledge that is of national & global renown, as significant a living monument as any damn slave trader statue--and not a peep from the heritage brigade.

When I was in the Army, I got a secret-level security clearance. Not once did a foreign honeypot try to message me, which is crazy given what I know.
Still know, really. It's not like you forget that stuff. They made us memorize it. Anyway, sometimes I talk in my sleep.

If you suggest the ideology that is driving this deliberately engineered humanitarian catastrophe is racist, then Labour will cancel your bin collections and torpedo your local council.

I was digitizing the Financial Times archives from the 1970's to see how labour disputes impacted the economy.
Unfortunately, there is a two week hole in the data in August 1977, when the Financial Times printers went on strike.

If only there had been thousands of people immediately and very vocally warning them that this would happen. Ah well

part of what I find so horrible about modern relationships is the social expectation to emotionally cauterize oneself afterwards. if you still harbor any tender feelings towards the person who once knew you best in the world, it taken as a sign that you aren't "over it" yet.
"So long as he doesn't impose his views on anyone else" can't refer to someone dictating who his children may marry.
Wanting your children to value and continue religious and communal practices is understandable; sometimes even defensible. Forbidding intermarriage is bigotry.
I have a million criticisms of Jonathan Greenblatt. His stewardship of the ADL has been a moral disaster. But it's not bigoted for him to want his kids to create Jewish families so long as he doesn't impose his views on anyone else.

To refuse to 'allow' one's children to engage in "intermarriage" is both a discriminatory politics and an indefensible approach to parenthood. Quite a choice to defend it.
