But based on what Luis Ortiz allegedly did, you can tell where these scandals are going and how they're going to need to be stopped.

He became the country's last Jew upon the death of Yitzhak Levi in 2005. The pair famously did not get along. In 1998 Levi wrote to the Taliban interior minister to accuse Simantov of theft of Jewish relics. Simantov responded by telling the Taliban that Levi ran a secret brothel where he sold alcohol. The Taliban was so annoyed by their constant fighting that twhy threw them in jail. But they eventually kicked them back out when they continued to fight inside the prison.
This account of the relationship between the last two Jews in Taliban Afghanistan is incredible

10.07.2025 00:44 β π 4 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0him: Hello Bradley. Justin Klekota here, your Democratic State Committeeman. Thank you for your past support! I'm running for Somerville City Council At-Large to increase funding for our schools & new housing, to reduce our carbon footprint, and to hire more emergency responders so we use less police overtime. My 25 years of experience have prepared me to serve (electjustin.org). Can I count on one of your four at-large votes? Stop2end me: cynical trans hating losers will never get my vote i hope you lose by so so so much him: Hello Bradley. I'm a member of the LGBTQIA community and have consistently defended our community against hate groups like DSA. The trans community has no ally stronger than me.
me: so you've retracted your defense of the transphobic bylaw language and apologized to the trans community and their allies who faced your attacks when they criticized you? him: I use the same language that our legal community uses. Sex discrimination laws are the legal basis for non-discrimination protections for sexual orientation and gender identity. I will vigorously defend the language that protects our community. DSA spread a lot of misinformation sadly. you can't call it misinformation when you didn't even dispute what i said me: Imao. you just don't think the transphobic language is a problem because you're a transphobic loser. i will be advocating against you in every campaign you run until you retire. you're an embarrassment to our city. i truly hope you fix your hateful heart.
him: You are attacking a member of the LGBTQIA community and the legal language that protects us. Please educate yourself: https:// en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Bostock_v._Clayton_County me: do you have the ability to read to the part of your little Wikipedia page that clearly states this existing legal framework leaves trans people extremely vulnerable because it fails to define its terms? if you willingly outsource your moral and linguistic framework to this debauched supreme court and needlessly deploy their discriminatory language and expect prospective constituents to take that seriously as reasoning, you're an even worse candidate for the council than i thought. him: This language is all we have. We can't afford to lose it. Yes. SCOTUS is making terrible rulings and specifically targeting gender affirming care which is dangerous. If Bostock is overturned it will set our legal protections back decades.
me: so it's your serious contention that if you had used trans inclusive language instead of transphobic language in the bylaw, that would have somehow endangered the existing legal precedent? and that obviously infinitesimally, incalculably small theoretical "risk" (which did not at all exist) was more important than actually listening to the trans members of our community? him: DSA was orchestrating a homophobic attack against my household around the clock over Twitter: litigating anything over Twitter is pointless. DSA does not speak for the LGBTQIA community: they are a hate group not worth any engagement. Arguing with DSA is like arguing with Neo-Nazis or the KKK. They are filled with hate and incapable of any good faith communication. me: we're not on twitter. it's just you and me. you didn't answer either of my questions.
not too many people from somerville follow me here but iβm in the middle of an unhinged text exchange with city council candidate justin klekota. donβt vote for this guy!!!
