Old favorites on my new phone

#typewriter

A card with type writer text that reads: new phone; old type-writer. New words to type-write

I’m just going to point out that when you have the need to visit my home and tell me to leave then you are in the wrong. Now, I am going to go back to baking banana bread.

A new antisemitic dog whistle I'm seeing online is when someone doesn't want to use the word "Jews" but they want to refer to all Jews, they swap in "Israelite" as in "The Israelites ____" (where the blank is an accusation of blood libel, controlling the media, banking, or some other such nonsense).

Israelites are the tribe of Israel- ie Jews. it's the same as talking about the "Hebrews", but it *sounds* like they're talking about Israelis, with a little plausible deniability thrown in.

It is *not* a synonym for Israelis, and those that use this term know it.

Not the biggest fan of HRW these days but even they know Houthis are attacking civilian ships along with commercial vessels.

Biden can only do so much. But all of our NATO allies transport goods through the lanes. Using our military to stop them is not "expanding the conflict." It is stopping terrorists from killing innocent sailors and civilians and from disrupting the world economy.

Biden to forgive some student loan borrowers' debt early-

@paninid

Affluent outrage? Tens of thousands of people are dead - thousands of them children, hundreds of thousands face famine, Israel’s bloody campaign continues unabated and you're talking about what? Affluent outrage? Fuck right off. @aral Thanks, Aral, for that input. I'm sorry that you have been set off about this. My intention here, for which may have not been made clear to you, is that Hamas is very much responsible for their decision to go to war and purposely put civilians at risk. Many have been manipulated into childish narratives that only exist in fiction. Israel too is responsible for what they have done. Repeatedly bringing up “people die in wars” isn't helpful in the least. How to fix it is.

Just some of Biden’s accomplishments:

• Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
• Inflation Reduction Act
• CHIPS Act
• American Rescue Plan
• First major gun safety law in decades
• PACT Act (healthcare for Veterans)
• $35 Medicare Insulin Cap
• Historic investments in renewable energy
• 100+ federal judges confirmed
• SCOTUS Justice KBJ confirmed
• $135B in student loans forgiven

So, this is accurate.

Trump likes to call people losers. Now Biden's using the insult on him:
