The apparent theory here--SPLC was defrauding donors by paying right-wing extremist org informants, and also took completely legal steps for obscuring the money trail for very obvious reasons on this totally legal thing to do--is ludicrous even by the notoriously malleable standard for wire fraud.

This has upgraded to a PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) for Colorado tomorrow. (Salida down through Alamosa area) This is a VERY big deal. It’s the first time NWS has issued this in CO. Share widely. If things catch fire it will be not good.

I've been thinking about this a lot today, because it's a valid point. Here's a short thread about why I think this happens.

Thinking about this and how Rabbi M said he's going to get me a T-shirt for my next bday that says "it all comes back to Genesis 15." The Tanakh can communicate the terror and wonder of confronting either Creator or Creation in a way I don't sense in Talmud. Hmmmm. Idk

So because paid informants participated in hate activity, SPLC funded hate groups, which is fraud or something on donors. Am I understanding this correctly?

Antisemitism is the most progressive kind of racism.

Nah brah, I know there is a complete lack of hinges on this account.

Context about the [still awful] story

Two presidents who, for various reasons, do not believe we owe anything to Afghan allies, and a majority of our country who agree. This is a fully American, corporately American Sin.

I'm ashamed of our country. this admin? yes. this is the work of twisted craven men. but the whole country. for decades, we simply didn't care enough. collectively. caring about the destruction we left in our wake, was simply too much of a bother Sad and ashamed. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w...

I visited the Royal Library in Copenhagen and saw this beautiful Hebrew manuscript (ca. 13??—my photo of the tag is too blurry to tell). Look at the amazing micrography for the beginning of Vayikra.

God forbid Pepys's wife have hobbies

Yeah, when we say they don't want us to exist we mean anywhere in the world. The transphobes got everything and more of what they wanted and yet it still isn't enough. Just knowing she is existing the other side of the world angers them to their core.

I'm certainly not opposed to punishing these soldiers, but it is hard not to notice that they're facing harsher punishment than IDF soldiers who committed document war crimes against human civilians. www.cnn.com/2026/04/21/m...

Part of me wants to hear Trump attempt Biblical names

Y'all. This decision about Medicaid payments for abortion in PA has implications which seem shockingly far-reaching, in a good way. Like. 👀 1. Reproductive health care is an essential right. 2. Any sex-based discrimination is presumed illegal. This will have IMPLICATIONS.

I used to go through and name every student and colleague from Nuke School I could remember. Haven't done that in a while, and guess what

Given that the minions end up killing all of their bosses inadvertently (Gru being the one exception), them working for Hitler might accidentally prevent the Holocaust.

Make Pellagra Great Again!

This is 100% true. And from a fighting perspective, it's not just about mortality rates. Sick soldiers in hospitals = fewer men fighting. This is the reason why the military went from an abstinence only STD platform in WWI to handing out condoms in WWII.

Hegseth made ending facial hair waivers his all-consuming mission in the first months of the admin. Making it more difficult for (mostly POC) service members to receive exemptions to policy for medical and religious reasons. He also end travel allowance for abortions.

ike, how are you making churchill look good?

Had an epiphany last night when I remembered a YouTube video I saw where an ultra Orthodox rabbi describes e.g. Reform Jews as basically gentiles, "they don't do mitzvot!" "Torah Jews" are such because in their opinion other Jews aren't doing Talmud right or enough.

The details are unclear, except the focus on paid informants. What would be the cause of action? Fraud of some kind?

When you’re tempted to suggest that we should forgive and embrace MTG because she’s turning on Trump Remember that she rose to prominence in part by fueling hate and harassment against families who lost children in school shootings

After thinking about this some more, I think there are really two things going on here that interact in weird ways. One is the background radiation of Protestantism that influences everything in this country, and the other is the misinterpretation of Jewish terminology when non-Jews see it.
