This is the ongoing story of Jews, a people whose strength endures through repeated attempts at erasure.

There will always be a Happy Purim!

1/? What @roguednc.bsky.social did to @bookersquared.bsky.social is precisely why I have been screaming since 2000 about young Black folks and their white "leftist" friends. For those who do not know, Rogue DNC used AI to make a picture of of Bookersquared and turn it into a minstrel caricature.

A DHS thug shot a woman 5 times, gave her 7 wounds, then bragged: "Put that in your book, boys. I'm up for another round of F around and find out." Blumenthal asked Noem to simply condemn it & why she couldn't just say it's wrong. She said: "The way you portrayed it, it appears to be." APPEARS TO BE

Notice how the daily death tolls didn't start when the IRGC was going around massacring tens of thousands of Iranian protesters.

The Carter administration paved the way for his military coup by ensuring that the army stand down.

Yet nobody is blaming Saudi Arabia and the UAE for urging Trump to strike Iran, but lots of people have been quick to accuse Israel of doing that. Hmmm, I wonder why.

Now Nazis are described as having "rough edges."

By their "strategists." In the 1940s, they were just called Nazis.

No to Oyster Boy.

This is destructive to the entire Democratic Party.

On the day set for destruction, Jews defended themselves across the empire. Purim commemorates the reversal of fortune. We read the scroll, give gifts and charity, and celebrate. Esther’s courage and Mordechai’s wisdom made survival possible and inspired generations.

Esther invited the king and Haman to two private banquets. The first built trust and gauged the king’s favor. At the second she revealed her Jewish identity and exposed Haman’s plot. The king was furious at Haman’s betrayal. Haman was executed on the gallows he built for Mordechai.

Four months later, the "progressive" wing of the Democratic Party (to the extent that it's really Democratic Party and not DSA) is still pushing a racist, antisemitic, misogynist Nazi tatto bro.

If the progressive wing isn't going to reevaluate its candidate, shouldn't it be reevaluated?

Mordechai asked Esther to go to the king, even though approaching him uninvited could mean death. She fasted three days with the Jewish community for courage and guidance, then risked the throne room. Strategy, timing, and wisdom were essential to save her people.

Haman persuaded the king to authorize the destruction of every Jew. A date was chosen by casting lots, called pur in Persian. The decree was sealed with the king’s ring. Bureaucracy became an executioner. One man’s whim could determine the fate of thousands across the empire.

Before the crisis, Mordechai uncovered a plot to assassinate the king. He reported it, saving Achashverosh's life. The king wanted to honor him, but Mordechai’s role went unnoticed. Haman, now prime minister, hated Mordechai for refusing to bow and plotted to destroy all Jews.

Among them was Esther, a Jewish orphan raised by her cousin Mordechai. She won the king’s favor with beauty, intelligence, and grace. Mordechai advised her to conceal her Jewish identity. Inside the palace she had access to power but no protection for herself or her people.

King Achashverosh ruled through spectacle and absolute law. When Queen Vashti defied him, she was removed. A search began for a new queen, bringing young women from across the empire to the palace to compete for the king’s favor.

The story comes from the Book of Esther. Jews were scattered across the Persian Empire, visible and politically vulnerable. Their safety depended entirely on royal favor. A single misstep could erase a community, leaving them at the mercy of palace intrigue.

Purim is festive, full of costumes, wine, and joy. It celebrates the moment a decree of destruction was overturned and a people were saved. Survival depended on courage, cunning, and one woman willing to risk everything to save her people from destruction.
