#ezra — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #ezra, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I was delighted to come across the suggestion that Sheshbazzar in #Ezra and 5 is Jeconiah's son Shenazzar in 1 #Chronicles 3:18. Collins' Introduction mentions it in passing, but says they are two different names. But are they? Or is one just a scribal error?

    The difference is two letters: ששבצר vs. שנאצר.

    LXX 1 Esdras has a mixed form Σαναβάσσαρος (=שנבצר) in 2:11, 14; 6:17, 19.

  2. He brought his rubber band over to the sunbeam and fell asleep #ezra

  3. Random observation:
    The name of the Persian king Artahshasta (Artaxerxes) is spelled
    ארתחששתא
    in Ezra 4 and 6 (five times) but spelled
    ארתחשסתא
    in Ezra 7-8 (five times). If sin and samekh were pronounced the same at that point, I would expect interchanging, not perfect division.

  8. On Thursday, I, along with some 4,500 others, tuned in to one of Indivisible’s weekly Zoom meetings led by Indivisible founders
    #Ezra #Levin and
    #Leah #Greenberg. There are about 1,600 local Indivisible groups scattered around the country
    -- and more are springing up each day.

    “Throughout history,” said Levin, “there has been no solution to creeping authoritarianism other than all of us — mass, broad-based organizing from people all over the country, from all walks life.”

    “If your ideas are popular and you have a mandate for change,” Greenberg said
    “you do not hide from your constituents.
    We are the ones who are out there,
    who are unafraid and organizing and showing up in public because our ideas are popular.
    When people hear what we have to say, they want that, not them.”

    The April 5 protests are meant to be a show of strength.

    “‘Hands Off,’” said Greenberg, “is a message about everything that is happening, right?

    It’s hands off Medicaid,
    hands off our democracy,
    hands off Social Security,
    hands off our environment,
    hands off veterans benefits.”

    Now, for those who think that firebombing Tesla dealerships is a better tactic than nonviolent protests,
    I would remind you of the world-changing work of Gandhi and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

    And I would also tell you about the work of Harvard political scientist #Erica #Chenoweth and her colleagues.

    To Chenoweth’s surprise — shock, actually — she discovered that over time, nonviolent protests are far more successful than violent ones.

    Between 1900 and 2006, she says, campaigns of nonviolent civil resistance were twice as successful as violent campaigns.

    She also came up with the so-called 3.5% rule:
    No government can withstand a challenge from around 3.5% of its population without accommodating the movement.

  13. @gemelliz My first thought was “Rebel News”. So not surprised at all. It smacked of #KeeanBexte, the poster child for disrespect, misinformation, entitled harassment, overall ignorant a**wipe and self-appointed editor-in-chile of #TheCounterSignal, a bigoted, transphobic and supporter of #EvangelicalPatriarchy. I presume #Ezra’s #WesternStandard employs the same calibre of “reporters”.

  15. Zusammenhang zwischen politischer Lage und Gewalt: Der Landkreis #Sonneberg ist lt. Opferberatungsstelle #ezra nach Erfurt neuer Hotspot rechtsextremer Angriffe in #Thüringen - zumindest in der Statistik hat #Sesselmann den Landkreis lt. #DLF nach oben gebracht. #AfD🤢

  16. 🧵 1/3 Just got back from seeing #Ezra.

    So, it was good. Very emotional roller coaster. I thought my son was bored but he wasn’t antsy to leave. As we were walking out, he shared that he really liked it. It certainly felt authentic.

    The story is focused more on a family and inter-generational perspective, which I think will make it more acressivle and relatable to a broader audience.

  17. "I could never understand why Ezra’s stuff doesn’t break the internet. Why so few views? This is a great song; great production; excellent video. Come on world."

    👆 that's the first YT comment on the video and I couldn't agree more.

    Now, the story of my life: I wasn't caught up on what they're up to these days so I was not aware that #ezra #furman played in my city (Germany) just a few days ago. 😭
