Enjoy. Nothing to see here. In fact, this audio doesn't even exist *&* it was made by Obama. Both things can be true. Amirite?

Random Reminder that these stickers are available to (randomly) remind folks in and around your community that "Fascism Is Really Bad ... and it gets even worse when we pretend that it's normal."

More photos from our hike at Stones River National Battlefield ( #NPS #TN ).
Artillery figured prominently in the Union victory here. 🧵 2/2

31 Dec 1862-2 Jan 1863: U.S. Gen Wm S Rosecrans defeated secessionist Braxton Bragg in battle on the site of the current Stones River National Battlefield. This past Sunday: my wife & I & both our dogs hiked here. Some photos ... 🧵 1/2

#Michigan
Humbling to imagine the sacrifice and bravery of these Michiganders (& all Union soldiers) who fought to preserve the Union.
Heartbreaking to know that nearly half of MI's citizens now seem intent to vote the MAGA ticket that identifies itself w/the secessionists.

Heneni, literally: "Here I am."
The cantor traditionally recites the heneni meditation before services on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, but we're here all year.

"Here I am." Perhaps a little the worse for wear, but still, here I am. Heneni.

[John LaRoe @LaRoeDesign]

The Heneni series (printed in khaki, black or white against pretty much any color or style of pull-over shirt you choose, front or back) has become my most popular design on Redbubble.

@AKBrews May her memory be a blessing.

@estockbridge The approximation rests, your courtship.

Antisemites always explain their antisemitism as a rational reaction to Jews being so offensively and unacceptably Jewish. Today was not the first day that this excuse was voiced, and today won't be the last day either.

[Mike (not a) Rothschild @rothschildmd]

"The Jews bring it on themselves" is one of the oldest antisemitic canards out there. Msk isn't being edgy here, he's relying on a trope that's older than dirt and pretending he just figured it out.

Remember Bencjan Gurewicz, born in Bobrujsk, Poland. Murdered in Auschwitz and make of his memory a blessing.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

23 August 1889 | A Polish Jew, Bencjan Gurewicz, was born in Bobrujsk.

In #Auschwitz from 11 December 1941.
No 23982
He perished in the camp on 16 December 1941.

@bo_mccarthy I like the swirls.
The color is ... bright.
My first thought was, "British traffic cop?"
But I'm also thinking: maybe wearing hi-viz on a motorcycle makes sense, and hi-viz w/style would be less highway worker.
And I like the swirls.
