🧡This is an area where it pays to be precise.

It's technically true that "Once a Jew, always a Jew." But a Jew who converts to Christianity (including "Messianic Judaism") is considered an apostate. And apostates are excluded from the Jewish community.

I can’t stop thinking about how many people are painting Jewish support for the Democratic Candidate for Mayor of New York City as an extreme position.

Despite polls indicating he has the support of something like 40% of NYC Jews.

Optics be wild, y’all

I already knew, but the Nazi tattoo thing really hammers home that a lot of folks that identify as democrats just don’t have a will or enough common sense to fight racism. Y’all, you don’t accidentally get and keep a Nazi tattoo you dingbats.

Trump administration says it won't tap emergency funds to pay food aid The move means 42 million people will miss SNAP benefits in November unless Congress acts.

It bears repeating: USDA has a $5 billion contingency reserve that it refuses to utilize to continue SNAP benefits. This was the USDA's *own plan* at the start of the shutdownβ€”now quietly deleted from its website.

This is as blatant an example of "hunger is a policy choice" as you will ever see.

Meanwhile, Kemp and the GA Republicans have been bragging about this huge rainy day fund we have. Looks pretty rainy to me these days....

Jewish New York’s reckoning with Zohran Mamdani: β€˜He’s become a vehicle for our tensions’ A tour of the mayoral hopeful’s Jewish outreach reveals an electorate fractured over Israel and grappling with his historic candidacy in radically different ways

β€œ[Mamdani]’s become a vehicle for our [intra-Jewish] conflicts,” said @bradlander.bsky.social. β€œIt’s fair to ask him to reflect that he’s going to represent everyone, even people who he strongly disagrees with, on important issues. It’s not fair to ask him to heal our collective wounds & traumas.”

A president so stupid that one of the great intellectual achievements of his life is β€œpassing” a dementia screening. A president so narcissistic that he can’t stop bragging about passing that dementia screening as evidence of his immense genius.

Sigh.
No one will tell him that he was screened for dementia, not tested for his IQ. Also, they haven't told him that the dementia screening test is not difficult and if he found it challenging, that's a red flag.

Also, IQ tests are not reliable indicators of intelligence.

That makes sense.

Just also, it makes sense this really is a self-reminder since God already know things are gonna go badly, regularly.

graham platner was a guard at abu ghraib, which should be all the disqualification necessary even before we get to the nazi tattoo, whose meaning it is increasingly doubtful he was ignorant of

There is far more evidence that Graham Platner is antiSemitic than Zohran Mamdani.
