The Israeli side of the Apartheid wall at the border of the worlds largest concentration camp, Gaza,

CT crew keep us totally ignorant on Israeli terrorism/extremism/racism, Jewish supremacy

Part of the job surely ? ImageImage
@WasiqUK apologise I mustā€™ve missed your tweets on the lynching of a 70 yr old Jewish lady by settler terrorists

Jewish people recognising the humanity of Palestinians & standing in solidarity against Israeli terrorism is the meaning of ā€˜hopeā€™
Doves of Peace & Hope šŸ‘‡
Youā€™re a Muslim right ??

So when Israeli terrorist & violent extremists (your line of work)
threaten the 3rd most holy site (your faith)
AND the oldest Christian community in the world,

Imagine being born in a secular #democracy & agitating, organizing, & pursuing establishment of a #theocracy ā€” claiming ā€˜persecutionā€™ bc a majority want to keep Church & State separate. #USA #religiousliberty #Christian #Christianist #DefendDemocracy @americansunited @RNS

#FirstAmendment to the #Constitution mandates that the #USA shall have no official religion.

Despite this, about 20% say the federal government should stop enforcing the separation of church and state a that the Constitution was inspired by God. #DefendDemocracy

The U.S. media remains incapable of saying clearly that this is a white supremacist Christian movement driven by white supremacist, Christian zealots who are patriarchal to the core.

So they hide behind ā€œimposter.ā€ #ChristianNationalism A picture of a person holding a cross with the dome of the U
The U.S. media donā€™t want to call them zealots, donā€™t want to call it a theocracy, donā€™t want to say theyā€™re patriarchal, donā€™t want to say theyā€™re anti-feminist. They tiptoe around all of this because these are white Christian people, ie ā€œdefault.ā€ feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-whā€¦

1. I am going to start an endless thread calling for the uni fee increases to be undone.

It will start very respectful. Iā€™m very hopeful @JasonClareMP et al will do the right thing, on this and many other issues.

But I will not let the issue slide away like last time.
2. My welcome to government letā€™s get it done greeting belongs in this endless thread:
3. And this one. That the LNP did this to our kids and young adults despite what they went through the past couple of years was intolerable.

But I know Labor know this and anticipate a fix is close.

"If the court overturns Roe...

It will also signal the dramatic expansion of religious authority into far-flung corners of American life, as conservative Christians impose their moral ideas on the general public."

"Part of [Christians'] objection to the legalization of abortion was the way the court simply assumed that the US was a secular, civic republic.

Roe marked the culmination of a 10-year interrogation of the role of religious groups within American society"
washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/0ā€¦
"Through these cases, the court rejected the stance of Christian religious groups...

By the time the court took up the question of abortion, religious conservatives had grown outraged that their moral positions received no consideration."

Where is the world's 1st Counter Terrorism Think-tank JUST when we need it

A job for #MaajidNawaz

ā€œNo idea is above scrutiny and no people are beneath dignity.ā€ ...

Prevent from nursery
Intellectually terminates 'isms'
Make theocracy a taboo like racism & homophobia
He had a toolbox travelling internationally to groom us on 'isms'
& was for 'how to spot radicalisation from nursery '

Jewish extremism, supremacy & radicalisation never benefitted from his expertise

We see #IsraeliTerrorism daily, young girl shot in the back in her own home
Media Megaphones who blast on 'isms'
are mute as we see the classroom radicalisation of Jewish kids to hate Arabs to the fruits of such teaching young kids:
national anthem of 'Death to Arabs' & 'May Your Village Burn ' chants in a brutal Apartheid State on Flag March

This line of thinking make the problem of evil sooo much worse. If Rick Perry believes this, then he must believe God ordained Hitler and the Holocaust too.
Jesus made it clear that civil government and God's kingdom were not related. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's" (Matthew 22:21)

ā€œ...people usually gain power through traits and actions that advance interests of others such as #empathy, #collaboration, openness, #fairness...when they start to feel powerful or enjoy position of privilege, those qualities begin to fade....(1)

ā€œIf power generates a cushion of obliviousness around it, those of us with power need to counter it. That means, first, treating people with respect, regardless of their status: not taking the invitation to disdain or ignoreā€ #Solnit

I'm old. I remember this stuff.

How It Used To Be

It took three minutes for the TV to warm up.

Nobody owned a purebred dog.
A quarter was a decent allowance & made with real silver.

You'd reach into a muddy gutter for a penny - made with real copper. (I still do...giggle).
Your Mom wore stockings that came in two pieces - one for each leg.

You got your windshield cleaned, oil checked & gas pumped, without asking, all for free, every time.

You didn't pay for air & you got trading stamps, too.
Laundry detergent had free glasses, dishes or towels hidden inside the box.

And don't forget Crackerjacks! A prize in every box.

Teachers threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed...and they did it.

When a 57 Chevy was everyone's dream car.

People "went steady."
