The Wheel in the Sky keeps on turning, and I for one think that by now we should be looking at this as possibly a braking issue.

Might I suggest an alternate acknowledgment:

We acknowledge that we are gathered today on unceded territory, shaped by children of the Enlightenment, who through perseverance and sheer force of will carved farms from forest, and built schools where there were none. A land transformed through hard labour and an abiding faith in a Christian God. A place where heretofore there were no written words, no science, no hospital. A land of privation, affliction and untimely death. A land cultivated, defended, and passed down by generations of settlers who built, with patient hands, a world rooted in law, learning, and liberty. Who dared imagine roads, libraries, and universities—when there was nothing but scrub and rock and bush. We acknowledge that we are the inheritors and the beneficiaries of the slow, stubborn building of a civil society— a birthright that is our duty to nurture and defend. We acknowledge that we are gathered here today on unceded territory, the legacy of those who never surrendered what they built.

Listen up AI nerds: here’s the deal.

We need you to give 50% of your companies to the government and then pay a 50% unrealized capital gains tax on the rest. And then a 37% Federal Tax and a 13.3% California tax. And tip 30%.

And don’t let any of this affect your growth rates or shut your companies down.

We’ll need more money next year.

We’re spending $80B repaving the parking lots of every Learing Center in the country.

Greater good.

Those “irresponsible narratives of two tier policing” are in fact very accurate descriptions of written police policy which is reflected in practical community policing.

White people are deliberately de-prioritised in police policy, in training material and in community policing guidelines.

Amnesty knows this and they should be ashamed of itself.

I couldn't sleep, so I went into a Tiktok Live and debated TRAs

It was actually rewarding because ultimately, they listened and had nothing to come back with

They eventually agreed females should have their own sports and spaces

They knew nothing about DSDs and were quiet when I explained them

Overall, it was a good experience. They were clearly some normie young people who hadn't ever thought critically about these topics

One girl on the GC side asked for our materials where she could learn more

All we have to do is educate and keep putting out the information

We can do this

We sacrificed 360,000 souls to end slavery and another 250,000 souls to defeat fascism.

Any moral debts were paid in blood many decades ago.

@IhabHassane Maybe try learning a damn thing about journalists' presence is NORMALLY handled in ANY war zone before singling out Israel for also doing it properly.

And WHY is it a war zone there, anyway... remind us? Did someone decide to start a war there?

[Seth Powell @sethjpowell]

@IhabHassane Even pretending that this bullshit actually happened — and very much of the bullshit, that Ihab routinely claims happened, did not — my take is: It's a shame for the Palestinians that more of them don't realize that in vehicular traffic isn't really a good place to sit or kneel.

@infantrydort Would like to hear whether he's for or against a nationwide purge of rapists and murderers who entered and remain in this country illegally.

This was Gaza on October 7.

Palestinians were kissing the floor with joy as Hamas paraded dead Jews through the streets.

Remember this the next time you see someone call them the victims.

One of the biggest problems in discussions about Israel is that most people have never heard of the Cairo Geniza.

And yet it may be one of the most devastating pieces of evidence against many of the myths surrounding the conflict.

The Cairo Geniza was a storage room in a synagogue in Egypt where Jews deposited old documents for nearly a thousand years. When scholars finally examined its contents, they discovered roughly 300,000 manuscript fragments dating from the 9th to the 19th centuries.

Not religious texts - Real life:
Letters.
Contracts.
Tax receipts.
Court cases.
Business records.
Marriage agreements.
Personal correspondence.

In other words, not propaganda.
Not nationalist history.
Not modern politics.
The actual paperwork of ordinary people living a thousand years ago.

And what does it show?
First, it destroys the claim that Jews are foreign colonists with no historical connection to the land.

The Geniza contains countless references to Jewish communities in Jerusalem, Hebron, Tiberias, Safed, Ramle, Acre, and other towns throughout the Land of Israel.

Before the twentieth century.
Before Herzl.
Before Zionism.

Centuries before any of those things existed.

The documents show Jewish pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem, donations being sent to Jewish communities there, rabbis corresponding with scholars in the land, and families moving between Egypt and the Land of Israel.

The connection never disappeared.
It never had to be "invented."

Second, it shows that Jewish identity remained tied to the land even after centuries of exile.

The Jews of Cairo, Baghdad, Yemen, Morocco, and Spain did not view Jerusalem as some distant historical curiosity.

They viewed it as the center of their civilization.

A place they prayed toward.
A place they supported financially.
A place many hoped to return to.
Long before modern nationalism was invented.

Third, it destroys the fantasy that Jews and Muslims lived in some utopian age of perfect coexistence before Zionism arrived and ruined everything.

The Geniza records periods of cooperation and prosperity.
But it also records jizya taxes, discrimination, legal inequality, extortion, restrictions, persecution, and the vulnerability of Jewish communities living as dhimmis under Islamic rule.
The reality of a subordinate minority.

Forth, the Geniza also challenges another popular myth: that Hebrew was a "dead language" resurrected out of nowhere by Zionists.

The Geniza contains countless Hebrew documents - letters, contracts, legal rulings, religious texts, poetry, and correspondence between communities separated by thousands of miles.

For centuries, Jews used Hebrew as a common civilizational language connecting communities from Morocco to Iraq and from Yemen to Jerusalem.

Eliezer Ben-Yehuda did not resurrect a dead language. He transformed an ancient, continuously used literary and religious language into a modern spoken one.

The Cairo Geniza proves that Hebrew never disappeared. It evolved, adapted, and survived long before modern Zionism emerged.

Fifth, it reminds us how sparsely populated and underdeveloped much of the region was before modern times.

The Land of Israel was not some densely populated "Palestinian" nation-state waiting to emerge. It was part of a larger Ottoman and earlier Islamic world, with small communities of Muslims, Christians, Jews, Druze, Bedouins, and others living across the region, that was vastly abandoned.

Perhaps most importantly, the Geniza reveals something that infuriates modern anti-Zionists:

The Jews never left history.
The Jewish people did not disappear from the land.
They did not forget Jerusalem.
They did not suddenly arrive from Europe one day and invent a connection.

The connection is documented continuously across centuries by the people who actually lived it.

It proves that the story told by activists - that European Jews arrived in a foreign land with no roots there - is historically indefensible.

The Cairo Geniza is thousands of voices speaking across a millennium.

And together they tell a story that modern ideologues desperately wish did not exist:
The Jewish connection to the Land of Israel was not created by Zionism.
Zionism was created because that connection never died.

Quick question, @RepPressley — genuine curiosity here.

LGBTQ+ individuals make up roughly 7% of the U.S. population. Veterans make up about 6%. The difference? One group chose a lifestyle. The other signed a blank check to the United States government, payable with their lives.

We give Veterans ONE day. November 11. There is only one of those per year — just like there is only one September 13, which, in case you did not know, is National Bald is Beautiful Day. Maybe THAT deserves a full month too.

But I digress.

An entire MONTH for a group you describe as neither exceptional nor mediocre — just people (your words, not mine, and I agree with them) — while the people who bled, lost limbs, buried friends, and came home broken get twenty-four hours?

Seems like the priorities are a little... scrambled.

I celebrate everyone's humanity. I do not need a month to do it. But if we are handing out months, I know about 18 million veterans who have been waiting a very long time for that kind of recognition.

But what do I know — I am just a bald combat medic who served 23 years, and apparently the calendar has more room for political signaling than for the people who kept this country free.

11, 12, and 14 years old.

Raped for days by more than 20 Pakistani immigrants.

Tortured—one had her tongue nailed to the wall to keep her still while they raped her.

The police ridiculed, insulted, and ignored them.

The feminists turned the other way.

If it hadn't been for Elon Musk, who publicly shared the trial testimonies, sparking outrage from Reform UK and internal investigations, no one would have known anything.

You're not angry enough.

The UN blacklisted Israel for 13 alleged cases of sexual violence in 2025.

But in 2023 alone, the UN logged 758 sexual abuse cases by its own staff.

The same institution prosecuting Israel can't even keep its own "peacekeepers" from preying on those they're meant to protect
