Someone make a "grand moth tarkin" meme for me, please. I'm too lazy.

Yes yes, Jesus was Jewish, no need to belabor the point

(It's okay, folks, I'm Jewish so this joke is certified kosher)

Ah yeah, didn't read that way haha. Thanks for clarifying 💙

That is for sure. There is no question that it is an asinine attempt by the GOP to weaponize the law, rather than a genuine attempt at protecting Jews in any way, shape or form

Not be contrarian, but this is a common misconception. Hate speech IS protected speech in the US, but it can be used to enhance the punishment of a related crime into a hate crime.

It can also, under specific circumstances, be considered "fighting words". But again, that depends on the specific context and is not broadly true.

This is one of my least favorite facts, but it is unfortunately true

And when you see someone conflating all Jews with the Israeli government, you are free, nay encouraged, to call that shit out.

But guess what's NOT happening in this thread? Or this entire comment section?

Israel is committing genocide.

Sincerely, your friendly neighborhood Jew

I'll take the downvotes to point out the political reality:

Raising money is literally the DNC's primary role. It is a coalition of people raising money collaboratively, with the understanding that agreeing to the party policy as a group is a requirement for being a member of the group.

So when he says that Hogg is stealing his spotlight and making it difficult to build the network he needs to raise funds, he's not out of line.

He is INCREDIBLY shortsighted in failing to connect "supporting good candidates" with "ability to secure votes" which itself is a necessary component of long term fundraising. But let's call a spade a spade: raising money is what the DNC is all about, by definition, and without those funds they have no purpose, let alone ability to promote candidates

In my lexicon, educators and teachers are not synonymous :3

But yeah, you are totally correct

This is just "what educators have known about education for decades" in meme format.

Different people do best learning in different ways. And different people learn different subjects at different rates. Grouping people my age, putting them all in lectures during the day and having them all do task work at home is not a good solution to education.

It was great when it was introduced, because it brought the majority of uneducated people up to a minimum level where they could read and do arithmetic. But compared to what we COULD be doing now that we know more and are better at it, this sort of industrial era "factory line" approach is idiotic.

And educators have known it for a long time now. Government just hasn't caught up

More like a leadership issue

GOP tried to stop spending on solar at ever turn. China out-spent us dramatically. That's the reason we lost, not wasted funds

Half-assed approaches lead to half-assed results in competitive endeavors

Your myopic view of the impact of gerrymandering (looking only at whether presidential elections involve districts or not) is simple-minded and ignorant.

I have seen the proof. I'm just not willing to do research for a random internet troll who's too lazy to do a simple search on their own. I have more important things to do with my time.

You're literally the only one here making decisions without data. 🤷‍♀️

Muting you now. You're too childish for me to engage with anymore 👋
