A good article from Ben Rieff (deputy editor of +972 - a publication worth a look at)

‘Except, he very much is[the face of Israel - my addition]. In fact, there is no one who more plainly epitomises today’s Israel than Itamar Ben-Gvir – and it is high time the international community woke up to that reality.’

This is beyond appalling.

The ability of #DHS to establish the intersection of #racism, #brutality and malicious #incompetence in #ICE is something I would never see.

I congratulate the #GOP Senators for their ability to gut our Constitutional rights with their cowardly acquiescence to 47's desires.

"The Trump administration recalibrating its hard-line approach to immigration enforcement in the wake of widespread political blowback and declining support for ICE — as well as Pres.

"Former ICE official Madison Sheahan lost a GOP primary in a battleground Ohio House district on Tuesday":

The bad news is that after this extremist lost, a Democrat will have a harder time winning. The good news is that someone as terrible as former ICE official Madison Sheahan will not get elected to Congress.

Some of us have been trying to tell you in #music and #film and #art for half a century about #brutality and #injustice and #greed and every #evil we've seen.

That was the only #voice we had. It was the only one that wasn't outlawed or taken away or otherwise denied to us.

Has anyone really seen or heard or understood any of it, and how loudly we tried to speak out?

Are you seeing or listening even now, or has it only been ' #entertainment '?

I better not buy starch now! Are there any other foodstuffs that I should avoid buying if I don't want to be IMO killed by brutal assault by the brutal Czech regime? Flour? Sugar? Baking soda? Salt? Now a citizen is afraid to buy basic foodstuffs! I believe that is called terrorism!

A quotation from Horace

The Rash, the Lazy, Lover, none’s so wild,
But may be tame, and may be wisely mild,
If they consult true Vertue’s Rules with care,
And lend to good advice a patient ear.
 
[Invidus, iracundus, iners, vinosus, amator,
nemo adeo ferus est, ut non mitescere possit,
si modo culturae patientem commodet aurem.]

Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 1 “To Maecenas,” l. 38ff (1.1.38-40) (20 BC) [tr. Creech (1684)]

JD Vance defends Trump amid spat with Pope Leo: ‘Stick to matters of morality’

Which makes me wonder how #Vance defines "morality".
