Like when people kept asking me if I wanted to go to Christmas Tree Shop and I said no. Finally I said, I’m jewish you know.

Then I learned they had other stuff.

I find this series an absolutely fascinating, heartbreaking and heart lifting venture into history.

I assume you mean NEERS? Begun in 2001 under Bush? I was unaware of it until Obama ended it in 2011.

Also, this gets to the root of my point above. How do you get on a registry that the government keeps for just immigrants?

Nope. Name and shame. Maybe I’ll keep it “in house” and nail it to the temple door.

I mean I know Kushner wants to be REALLY famous for something other than a felon dad and sticking it in a Trump vagina, but this seems like a really shitty way to broker peace.

I should add that should it come to registries, if my ENTIRE synagogue doesn’t participate, I’ll publish a list of the cowards.

As will I.

The problem is, the changes will be gradual and harder to fight, and not nearly so on-the nose. I was thinking about the INCREDIBLY stupid list that Trump wants produced weekly of immigrants who have committed crimes. How do we get on that? Put me down for punching a Nazi. I mean I haven’t yet, but will…

If I find out she’s been abused, I’ll feel sympathy. If she is so unhappy, she can leave him. I don’t care how good his prenup is, he will lose in a very visible public fight if he attempts to leave her destitute (also a prenup that left her destitute would likely be overturned anyway)

She has more options than the…

Agreed.

I disagree. Privilege is a real thing. And we need to be willing to give that up. Tearing down hurdles and road blocks doesn’t erase the deficits, only slowing down or giving those behind us gas will.

The loss of net neutrality will suck, but the social networks most people use to spread information, Facebook , Twitter, YouTube, will presumably cut deals and Facebook and Google, at least, have the money to spend.

The payback is a whiny internet comment?

Oh no. What will I do?

Black Lives Matter happened after that. The demonstrations scare a lot of my coworkers and family members. They’ll point to the isolated incidents of looting or violence in the wake of yet another police shooting.

When I bring up the violence or looting that comes after sporting events, or the fights they’ve gotten…

Wonder if there will be any detailed reexamining of cases he presided over.

I think the fact that his presidency coincided with the rise of social media added to the effect. Now sharing a racist joke with your friends had the ability to go global. And people who were victims had a global platform.

What was once obvious and understood among certain communities now had ways to find a new…

You’re just upset that there’s new slang that we can’t steal.

Also you’re racist. There’s that too.

Also, thank you for the link to the article. I hadn’t seen that before.

I meant internally, not out loud or to people. The kind of introspection you do when you actively start confronting your privilege. But yes, even the luxury to do that is a privilege

Wow. And here I thought the I had paid for my gas and hotel room. Nice to know my buddy George will pick up the bill.

It’s a well composed photo, but like the famous one of young people in Brooklyn on 9/11, it shows a narrative that might not be the one going on.

But to accuse women who are brave enough to talk honestly about their own experiences of creating division is ridiculous. That’s your division there. I felt good, and…
