The attempted arson at @FederationCJA West Island and Congregation Beth Tikvah in Montreal is deeply disturbing. Antisemitism is completely unacceptable and must always be condemned – our government will continue to work with Jewish communities to combat this hatred.
Journalism 101 teaches the adage, “If your mother says she loves you, check it out.” Innate skepticism is a defining mandate of our profession, and even more so when it comes to power, and absolutely critical during war. No claims by power should be put out right now unvetted.
By far the most powerful Israeli response I have seen.
This 19 year old girl survived the horrific massacre in Kibbutz Be’eri.
This is her message to her fellow Israelis and to the world.
Watch the whole thing.

This video of a tower block in Gaza being hit by a missile is from May 2021, not today. It was captured live during a BBC Arabic broadcast at the time.
EXCLUSIVE: The day after Ron DeSantis declared his candidacy, Showtime, with no explanation, canceled a VICE documentary examining his military record at Guantanamo Bay. It still hasn’t aired, but I got the transcript and you can read the reporting here. https://t.co/bSqHW7uihY

I don't know what to tell you guys. We have to expand the Court. If we don't expand the Court, no liberal policy will be allowed to exist for the rest of our lives. That's why Republicans stole the court, that's why rich people pay for justices.
Govern yourselves accordingly.
"While Ms. Smith has laid the groundwork for her new venture, she has yet to carry out her plans." HOW THEN DOES THE COURT ISSUE AN OPINION GIVEN THAT NOTHING HAS ACTUALLY HAPPENED?????!!!!!!
First case is 303 Creative. That's the one where the bigot doesn't have a website, but wants to make one that will discriminate against gay couples.

I'm no lawyer, but isn't there some sort of rule about inventing the entire circumstance of the case?
"Well no, your honor, he didn't run my client over. He actually doesn't even own a car. But let's suppose he had? Let me take you on a journey..."
This. Is. Bonkers.
Lorie Smith, the plaintiff in the 303 Creatives and her lawyers at Alliance Defending Freedom INVENTED a same sex couple who she claimed asked her to make a wedding website.
The request that forms the basis of this lawsuit is FAKE. https://t.co/E3DY2Rfl8K

Anyway, the upshot is that between Milligan and Moore v. Harper... WE GET TO HAVE A DEMOCRACY... for another day at least. For another election, let's hope.
This was a term SCOTUS could have basically destroyed democratic elections and... they didn't. Thomas and Alito wanted to.
