Moulton: I know active duty Marines who now refer to Pete Hegseth’s department as the department of war crimes. That's because they do things like this, destroy civilian infrastructure, which, just to be clear, is a war crime. It's meant to hurt civilians. 

This is the same stuff that we criticize Vladimir Putin for doing in Ukraine.

He doesn't know how to get out. So what is he doing? He's resorting to war crimes. It's an embarrassment.

Cardinal Cupich: “As more than 1,000 Iranian men, women and children lay dead after days of bombardment from U.S. and Israeli missiles, the official White House X account on Thursday evening posted a video of scenes from popular action movies spliced with actual strike footage from their war on Iran. The clip was captioned: ‘JUSTICE THE AMERICAN WAY.’
A real war with real death and real suffering being treated like it’s a video game — it’s sickening. Hundreds of people are dead, mothers and fathers, daughters and sons, including scores of children who made the fatal mistake of going to school that day. Six U.S. soldiers have been killed. They are also dishonored by that social media post. Hundreds of thousands displaced, and many millions more are terrified across the Middle East.”

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

A move completely antithetical to the ethos of the Alamo and to those who love the theatrical experience they provide. This is a profound and upsetting mistake @alamodrafthouse

This is a historical moment, and every Jew should watch this. The Heritage Foundation is the intellectual cornerstone of the Republican Party, and here it embraces Fuentes as a legitimate part of right-wing discourse. The pretense of Nazism being unacceptable on the right (it never was) is gone. This comes after Vance did not dispute claims that Judaism was based on discrimination against Christians.

Yes, the American Vice President and the premier think tank of the right legitimized open antisemitism within 24 hours.

How did this happen? Many on the right gave a pass to antisemitism as long as the GOP supported Israel. Even as it became more open, that was the sentiment among right-wing Israel supporters. Now they are finding that the naked antisemitism is worse, and support for Israel has eroded too. The Faustian bargain has ended predictably.

The mainstream of conservatism has embraced open antisemitism. There will be no turning back.

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

Come and get me.

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

No one should be forced to flee, nor exploited or mistreated because of their situation as foreigners or people in need! Human dignity must always come first!

Today’s prevailing mentality tends to value existence if it produces wealth or success, forgetting that the human being is always a limited creature with needs. We therefore hide or remove the fragility of the #Elderly. Yet, growing old is part of the marvel of creation. If we have the courage to acknowledge it, embrace it, and care for it, this fragility is a bridge towards heaven.

See, this is why spreadsheets are a foundational skill. Export the transactions to a spreadsheet and re-do the splitwise calculation putting the onus only on those who partaked. Be petty with accurate math!
