A federal judge has ruled that Texas’ ban on drag shows is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment, offering the following advice to those offended by drag:

“The solution is relatively simple ... just don’t go [to the shows].”

I no longer have the words to describe the depravity of this country

[Mark Ruffalo @MarkRuffalo]

The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect.  Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.

This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public. 

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.

Will Jewish communities be asked to condemn these extreme statements from the Chief Rabbi of the self-proclaimed Jewish state, in the same way that Muslim communities for 25 years have been asked to condemn extreme statements from every random imam anywhere in the world?

🤦‍♂️The FBI gave her the bomb and the gun and the funds to spend at Home Depot. The government literally encouraged and enabled this terrorist plot in order to foil it. One day they’ll have to admit this how the J5/J6 pipe bomb happened as well. H/T @KyleSeraphin

The world does not need an artificial intelligence that diminishes humanity; rather, it needs human intelligence enlightened by wisdom, political authority guided by conscience and technological innovation directed by charity. Only then will artificial intelligence become not a rival to humanity but a servant of the common good.

Trump is going to pump billions of dollars into the bond market to push down interest rates through the election, then let everything fall apart again.

Not sure I’ve seen a more nakedly electoral use of this amount of money before, for such a targeted amount of time.

No, there is currently not a single American citizen under indictment, investigation, or facing an arrest warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC). There is no active legal proceeding or pending case against any U.S. citizen at the court. President Trump on July 31 said Secretary Rubio was seeking to destroy the ICC to protect Israeli PM Netanyahu.

⭕️ Israel formally allows Jewish prayer at Al-Aqsa Mosque for first time

Israeli authorities formally permitted Jewish prayer inside Al-Aqsa Mosque for the first time, marking an unprecedented change to the decades-old status quo governing the occupied East Jerusalem holy site, Middle East Eye reported.

Israeli police on Sunday allowed settlers entering the compound to carry Jewish prayer books and conduct organized group prayers, according to a Palestinian source from the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf.

While Israeli settlers have previously prayed at the site, often with police allowing it, such practices had not been formally authorised. Under the internationally recognised status quo, the entire 144-dunam Al-Aqsa compound is an exclusively Islamic holy site administered by the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf.
