"We can demonstrate both through our words and our numbers that we will not stand for such acts of hate," Temple Sinai Dresher shared in a statement. "They have no place in our community nor in our society."

The flag was displayed at a home in the Blue Bell area of the township on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, a Nov. 9-10, 1938 Nazi attack on Jewish people in Germany.

"That flag was and remains contrary to all that we believe in and all that our Township represents," the Whitpain Township Board of Supervisors said. "We will not be silent in the face of evil. We trust our community will join us."

 

“Neo-Nazis — their faces hidden behind red masks — roamed streets in Columbus today, carrying Nazi flags and spewing vile and racist speech against people of color and Jews,” Gov. Mike DeWine, Republican of Ohio, said in a statement on X. “There is no place in this state for hate, bigotry, antisemitism or violence, and we must denounce it wherever we see it.”

The Anti-Defamation League said that the Columbus event fit a recent pattern of white supremacist incidents, hundreds of which have taken place across the country over the past 18 months.

"You can't prove it DOESN'T work."

"Yes we can. There are literally thousands of studies proving exactly that."

It does appear to be the case. This article is peppered excessively with antisemitic dog whistles. One or two could be a coincidence but this is something else entirely.

  • "Cabal"
  • "billionaire class"
  • "Santa Claus" (depicting a literal war on Christmas)
  • "imaginary surge in “campus antisemitism.”"

The entire premise of the article is that evil Zionists sabotaged the American left and manipulated the election, which is itself an antisemitic trope.

The whole point of using dog whistles is to create a sort of plausible deniability. I'm sorry, but in this case it seems like they slipped one by you.

a. Birds aren't real.

b. It turns out that a real-life supervillian sending out constant tweets is only terrifying to about 49% of people.

If we give them a microdose, will they just transform partway? asking for a friend.

Oh, I thought you meant just repeat the same day that just happened. I did not understand the question.

Wow, how do writers come up with such creative names?

 

If you don't know about Posy, this is a perfect time to make your introduction. He doesn't post all that often, but it's always delightful, usually insightful, and calming in a world of videos where people are mostly shouting.

He calls it the channel about anything, and this video is about housemaid objects (but extremely close).

Wasn't it proven that the poor guy was convicted on bad science? Didn't the original judge and prosecutor say he should go free?

I hate this stupid state

 

Thousands of people joined a march towards New Zealand's national capital on Friday after a contentious bill that would reinterpret the country's 184-year-old founding document passed its first hurdle in parliament.

Several rallies against the Treaty Principles Bill are being staged in towns across the country as a nine-day march, or hikoi, moves to Wellington. It is expected to reach the national capital on Tuesday.

An estimated 10,000 people marched through Rotorua, about 450 km (280 miles) north of Wellington, New Zealand police said in a statement. Protesters, some wearing traditional clothing, were greeted by hundreds waving the Maori flag and chanting.

 

Typhoon Usagi made landfall in the Philippines on Thursday as the authorities warned that the storm could cause widespread flooding and landslides in the north of the country.

Usagi, called Ofel in the Philippines, is the fifth major storm to hit the country in the past three weeks. The other four — Toraji, Trami, Yinxing and Kong-rey — killed more than 100 people and caused destruction. This week, four tropical storms churned at once in and around the South China Sea and the North Pacific, the first time that had happened in the region in November since records began.

 

Gaetz, who has served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 2016, is a Trump loyalist who supported Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Gaetz resigned from Congress abruptly Wednesday hours after Trump's announcement, effectively ending a wide-ranging probe by the House Ethics Committee over alleged sexual misconduct and illicit drug use. The Ethics Committee had been set to vote this week on the release of a "highly damaging" report on its investigation into Gaetz, Punchbowl News reported. Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) has called on the committee to release the report regardless. If appointed, Gaetz will head the Justice Department, which last year decided not bring to charges against him over sex trafficking allegations, including that he had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl.

 

The lawmakers said Ben Gvir and Smotrich are responsible for undermining security in the West Bank and are encouraging violent attacks against Palestinians through their actions and statements.

They also called on Biden to impose sanctions on the Amana organization, which is engaged in settlement expansion and is involved in establishing illegal outposts in the West Bank. The lawmakers also called for sanctions on the Regavim NGO, which Smotrich founded several years ago. They claimed the organization was involved in actions that resulted in the forcible displacement of Palestinians from their land in the West Bank. "Settler violence in the West Bank, incentivized by external organizations and even by extremist officials in the Netanyahu government, threatens the longterm strategic security of Israel and the region," they wrote.
