* I, Krem, am Jewish. Members of my immediate family live in Israel. I love Shabbat and baking challah. My friends call me β€œRabbi Krem”, and I have personal relationships with both Rabbis on-island.

* We are proud co-owners of a Martha’s Vineyard business that deeply values its relationships with its partners, vendors, collaborators, and most importantly, its clientele.

* We are a minority-owned (LGBTQ+) operation. Krem is non-binary and uses they/them pronouns.

* Prior to this incident, Good Pierogi had never refused service to anybody.

* We stand against those who harm or seek to harm others as well as those that would defend them.

* Finally, we don’t back down to bullies - no matter their size.

Trump Weighs Getting Involved in New York City Mayor’s Race

This will kill Cuomo for good.

"And in a previously undisclosed call in recent weeks, Mr. Trump spoke about the race directly with Mr. Cuomo, an old associate and foil, according to three people briefed on the call, who were not authorized to discuss it."

Iona Italia saying Cooper's more intellectually serious than David Irving when the Mother Jones article shows how much he's referenced Irving is just *chef's kiss*, and Wesley Yang (often mixed up in stuff like this) is of course good mates with JK Rowling, as is Jesse Singal

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

Let’s not forget Donald Trump’s β€œJustice” department is giving special favors to a convicted sex trafficker who participated in the sexual abuse of children. The lack of outcry by Republicans after Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a low-security prison tells us they stand by Trump’s moral depravity.

The racism here is on steroids, as Trump tried to make case to MAGA that farmers need exemptions.

Says brown people do hard labor "naturally" and don't get bad back, while also saying they've tried to replace them with people "in the inner city" but they can't get them to do the work.

A disconcerting number of high status people upended their worldviews because other people did not affirm that status in the way they thought appropriate.
And social media accelerated this because for high status people it is often the experience of people telling you that you are wrong.
