Just total misuse of religion here to defend a foreign government engaged in an illegal occupation and daily war crimes. Sanctions on Israeli settlers have nothing to do with British Jews. To use British Jews as a shield for Israeli settlers is not just dangerous but antisemitic.

Democracy is one person, one vote — not billionaires buying elections.
We must end Citizens United and super PACs and move to public funding of elections.
Here’s the dirty secret of emergency medicine:
We don’t have to do prior auth. Like ever. We just order what the patient needs, and the patient gets it done in the ED.
But here’s why we care about prior auth anyways:
B/c not a shift goes by where a patient doesn’t land in the ER as a last resort when #priorauth denied or delayed them the outpatient care they needed.
Cleaning in the other room when I hear my son say "that sounds like ratatouille!" Run across the house to fall on my face just to hear @pattonoswalt voice in a cartoon. #GravityFalls
Today, my all time hero Janis Joplin (1943-70) would have been 80 years old. Here is a thread of Janis quotes to remind you what a goddamn legend she was.
