I’d really rather be posting about the 2024 elections and climate news and other things I enjoy but since the Fediverse just gets more and more comfortable with Jew hatred, not less, and people stay dead silent about it, this is where it is.

Years ago, I went to Poland to see where the Powazeks came from. Dad and I took a tour of one of the camps where our family was killed. The tour guide asked us if we were Polish or Jewish. "Both," I said. "You can't be both," he said flatly. This was in the early 2000s.

This is how the Poles could kill us. Help the nazis send us to camps. Take our homes. We weren't part of "us."

Today: Republican Ron Johnson reminds us that Jews in America are also not "us."

@fraying And it doesn’t matter if by “us“ he means Americans or Christians. To him they are the same thing.

If white folk in Louisiana think two Black-majority districts - fair representation - is "affirmative action by redistricting," maybe we should reconsider our current system of "affirmative action by electoral college" that actually gives extra weight to rural states.

It’s always Republicans who whine about how government doesn’t work and then they vote all these people in there that do nothing but try to gum it up.

She should spend some time learning how government works: creates bills with substance, gets them passed, the basics.

Maybe this gives some of that side of the aisle some idea that they can deny MAGA. And how much easier it would have been had they supported the impeachments.

@TonyStark I just see that as MAGA strategy though. Muck it up on purpose and blame the other side. If government works, their constituents might end up liking it. Can't have that.

I had to open a new account on Twitter for the sole purpose of finding out how to access a rep via the Chase Bank phone tree without an account number. I closed my only account there two years ago, and now they're sending me email suggesting they think I'm still a customer. I called one number, they confirmed my account is closed and not "dormant" as their email says, and that rep referred me to Chase Journey. In order to get through to someone at Chase Journey, the first thing I have to do is enter my SSN. I AM NOT EVEN A CUSTOMER OF THEIRS ANYMORE. Fuck that????

Steal This Hour

Watch the clouds swell as cows drift across the yellow hillside

Watch the inky hawks circle and circle over blades of grass waving and fluttering in the field

Watch the squirrel flick its tail, clasping tiny fingers around a newfound acorn

Watch the flies zig and zag like magical green jewels

What’s the longest it’s ever taken you to read a book? I’ve been working on this one for at least six months and I’m only about 1/4 way through. I have about an hour a week to devote to it. It’s not easy reading for me and I have to be in the right headspace and be able to really slow down and focus. I’ll get to the end eventually.

@shekinahcancook Thanks for sharing this. I find it odd that a briefing about how antisemitism is bad for everybody, not just Jews, specifically targets Jews as its audience. I can think of a lot of non-Jews who need this more.

In this Chilean adoption scandal, an estimated 20,000 newborns were stolen from predominantly poor and indigenous mothers and sold to American and European families who thought they were adopting children in need. The network of child traffickers included social workers and faith leaders. No one has been held accountable.
