what a strange headline. ruling party fears that more people vote for the other party. www.wabe.org/georgia-repu...

So appreciative of these efforts to help us be informed voters in our municipal elections!

Happy Pride, ATL! I'm marching with @roughdraftatlanta.com this year - say hi! @bethmckibben.bsky.social @paulmckibben.com

There's nothing at all wrong with being Palestinian, and using "Palestinian" in this way is deeply racist against Palestinians, but it is also antisemitic, because it defines Jewishness as something that can be granted and removed for political reasons.

My periodic reminder to Atlanta and Georgia people on Bluesky - suggest yourself or others for this list. bsky.app/profile/did:...

You do not have to hand it to Trump even if he brings peace to Israel and Palestine and achieves the long delayed goal of a Palestinian state

Whoa. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-oct...

progressive jews and palestinians: "we refuse to be enemies." european christians/descendants: "oh, well fuck you both then."

Honestly I'm pretty proud of this for us

Chaverim. Beloveds. Don't interact with Bad Empanada He was banned from Twitter years ago after he called for the murder of Israeli children. He regularly denies that antisemitism exists. This is not someone you debate, this is not someone you platform to your followers. This is someone you block.

Christian nationalists will claim they're all antisemites, naturally. www.timesofisrael.com/poll-nearly-...

I'm gonna go into Shabbat allowing myself a little optimism

Jews, you do not need to read these replies on Yom Kippur. But leftist Gentiles who still insist there is not a problem with antisemitism on the left, you really do need to read these replies.

Pro abortion politics are very popular. Every time a man says Dems should compromise on abortion to win votes they’re exposing their misogyny. There’s literally no other reason to suggest the compromise

whoever could have seen this coming, oh who?

Ok. So there's A LOT of misinformation about the government shutdown, the continuing resolution and gender-affirming care. There was one article in PinkNews that was VERY shoddy about what Trump said. So let's breakdown what's true and what's BS. 1/ www.thepinknews.com/2025/09/29/t...

My school (my students) are playing my nephew's school (and his team) this afternoon and I can't wait to go to the game and root for my students. I'm the best uncle ever.

Ok so this is pretty awesome. Y'all, the @georgiademocrat.bsky.social field of so-far declared candidates? Pretty fantastic all around. Lots of really great people.

Roasted garlic honey spread, to be slathered on that challah

Challah's done

watching even a few seconds of the kirk funeral makes it clear a large quantity of this country is ready for full on nazi authoritarianism and we have to really grapple with how much we need to put a stop to this as quickly as possible

Y'all. I mean, y'all. Seriously. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8S4rN4b/

Y'all, if you're not on the rapture side of tik tok, get on it. They're so sure it's going to happen but they can't figure out why it's on Tuesday. Their confusion and their passion is inspiring! I bet they'll lose their minds when they figure out they've based it on Rosh Hashana.

In case you're wondering how it's going, I was just told that taking off for Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is discriminating against Christian opposing counsel.

Honey cake for Rosh Hashana? Nah. In this house it's all about the honey cookies instead.

FIFY

I've seen a lot of people on here in the past day or so repeat the line of "Arabs are Semites, too, so anti-Arab racism is also a form of antisemitism." This is and understandable mistake, given how weird the word is, but it's a misunderstanding of the word.

Some Americans matter. The rest of us don’t.

look at all those white supremacists

All right, I wrote about it:

in america if you don’t mourn the 21st century hitler youth program director you get fired from your job

The fitness-to-alt right pipeline is one of the greatest dangers teenage boys face today. I see it far too often in my own students.

Republicans when the shooter didn’t have the decency to be a transgender illegal minority.

If Democrats want to make a show of caring about Charlie Kirk, put up a Charlie Kirk gun control bill to prevent the senseless killing of any more Charlie Kirks so the entire country can watch Republicans vote it into the dirt

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

Shabbat shalom to everyone especially the other gay folks who got messages from their estranged family aunt telling them they're worse than the actual murderer because they refuse to mourn for transphobic white supremacists!

We'll have to learn more but this is highly suggestive of internecine right wing warfare as opposed to something from the left that all the dipshit pundits and the senile president were whining about

How dare you criticize someone by quoting them at length?

In other news, I made a Butterscotch-Scotch apple crisp for dinner tomorrow night. A mix of apples, the usual spices, a few splashes of Talisker Storm, and an oat crust with butterscotch and more of the scotch on top

This!!! Trump is so utterly acting/talking in bad faith. he is mostly responsible for the escalation of violence in the US with his incitement over the past fifteen years.

Charlie Kirk: “God’s perfect law says gays should be stoned to death.” Liberals: “This is an honorable man who did politics the right way. Through debate, not calls to violence.”

Honoring Charlie Kirk's memory by honoring his requests and feeling zero empathy for him. It's what he would have wanted 😢

What I Teach 3rd Graders Lisa Shulman

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Charlie Kirk harmed countless teenage boys and radicalized them into the so-called "red pill" movement. His rhetoric led to so much of the rise in misogyny, bigotry, and so much hatred. He has alienated these boys and made them the face of the "loneliness epidemic." He need not be mourned

when the right does stochastic terror, murders, and assassinations, it's just a lone crazy gunman and not reflective of the broader conservative movement or its rhetoric. when a long crazy gunman ostensibly on the left kills, democrats must be rounded up and put in camps.

I dunno, I guess I just hope I'm living a life where people won't need to be performatively sad when I die.

Do not be bullied, cowed, or shamed by bad-faith right-wing actors and MAGA that are blaming "liberals" and everyone who isn't MAGA for Charlie Kirk. Call them out for their hypocrisy. Go on offense. They are fine with political violence and mass shootings when it's against the rest of us.

This is the right response to this moment. We need to say that the rising political violence is wrong, but we can't stop there. We need to say that the Trump movement is the major reason for rising political violence in the US right now, and that both sides are not equal on this score.
