A former speechwriter called back to wordsmithing after discovering a massive stash of WW2 documents hiding in my father's papers. No DMs, porn, cryto.
@ForgiatoBlow47 Liberty depends on the existence and enforcement of the rule of law. Importing millions of people outside of the rule of law destroys the promise of liberty to legal citizens.
@NoaMagid More and more, I have come to the belief that Israel is the only place on earth where its government fulfills its first obligation: protect its citizens and residents.🙏📷 🇮🇱

@BethanyForTruth@packingpatriot_ Voting is both a privilege and a responsibility. I think citizens of both sexes (sorry, folks who think otherwise, but there are only two sexes) should share in the responsibility and the privilege.
For me, the most disturbing aspect of this film is the very real conditions decent people find themselves in that all but necessitated its creation. How long can we expect people to see their wives, their children, and their fellow citizens terrorized without recourse, without the protection afforded when the rule of law is applied to citizens?
This is probably a futile post on my part, because it does look like the poster @tuffluffjimmy won't let historical facts get in the way of antisemitism, historical ignorance, ad hominem attacks, and name-calling.
From Grok (because otherwise I will likely be accused of being a bitch, a demon, psychotic, etc., etc. as in a couple of postings....
“Jewish Americans provided the most disproportionate and impactful legal, financial, and moral support to the Civil Rights Movement relative to their population size (roughly 3% of the U.S. population in the 1960s.
“Legal support: Close to half of the white lawyers working on civil rights cases in the South were Jewish. Jewish attorneys played key roles in organizations like the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, contributing to landmark cases such as Brown v. Board of Education.
“Financial and organizational support: Jews were major funders and backers of groups like the NAACP, SCLC, and CORE. They helped sustain campaigns through donations, foundations, and fundraising efforts, with many northern Jews providing critical resources when Southern Black communities faced economic reprisals.
“Moral and activist support: Jews made up a hugely outsized share of white participants—often estimated at 30-50% or more in key efforts like the 1961 Freedom Rides, 1964 Freedom Summer (about half the white volunteers), and marches (e.g., Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel alongside Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma). Hundreds of Jewish rabbis joined demonstrations, and Jewish leaders offered public moral backing. This involvement stemmed from shared histories of marginalization, ethical traditions (tikkun olam), and alliances dating back to the early 20th century.
“While many other groups contributed—Northern white liberals, labor unions (e.g., UAW donations), Black churches and leaders as the core drivers, and some progressive foundations—the scale and consistency of Jewish American participation stood out among white ethnic/religious groups.”
READ what I wrote, the facts support the comment that American Jews were the strongest supporters of Black Americans during the Civil Rights Movement.
To call those who actively supported the Civil Rights Movement "apathetic whites" is either incredibly uninformed or deeply hateful.
Tikkun olam.
@Chahuapa@TerrinaMajnoona I agree, and throughout the Civil Rights Movement, Black Americans led the movement; Jews were among their strongest allies.
Tikkun olam.
@trumplicans2024 They might not "approve" of Trump, but they would most certainly recognize him as one of their own for putting his life, his fortune and his sacred honor (to paraphrase the U.S. Declaration of Independence) on the line to create these United States.
