It seems that the teens (19yo and 17yo) that were changed with felonies in Pensacola for last July/august's spree of vandalism (including the "white lives matter" brick being thrown through the Chabad window) have decided to take a plea.

Biden passed the biggest climate plan ever to reduce carbon pollution, created over 270,000 clean energy jobs and counting, enacted the first-ever U.S. drinking water limits on PFAs, and protected more than 41 million acres of public lands and waters so far.

Trump rolled back over 100 environmental protections, gave big oil a big tax cut, opposed addressing PFAs, and is the only president in history to expose more public lands than he protected.

A vote for Biden is a vote for climate progress.

Being awoken at 5:39 AM to a tornado warning wasn't quite how I thought this Tuesday would begin... I am glad that my weather radio works!

I got the thunder shirts onto the dogs and got the chickens up early. Miles decided that he was going to bark at the thunder all morning, though. That's his thing now. Bark at it, and maybe it will go away.

I don't think anyone else in the path of the storm had damage. There was a twister on the ground in a county further south around 4AM-something, though.

My local NPR station now has a policy of being on the air constantly when there is an actual warning within their listening area. I think this policy changed after the 2019 tornado. It's a good policy change.

Being up and about that early allowed me to get my cat to the vet for surgery, run some errands, refill the big water jugs, and do all sorts of adult achieving things this morning. Now I'm back in bed for a bit to rest.

I do feel as though my storm PTSD is lessening a little bit. But I think part of that was having early warning, having lots of information, and having a good radar app. I could tell by looking at the radar that we were not going to be hit by the belly or a significant arm of the storm.

This time.

Blessed are You, HaShem our God, who has molded my soul from contradictions.

From apparent opposites, You have created me, and from within dichotomies, I can see the plurality of Your creation.

I hate the part of this timeline where I have to google all the charities I give to each month to make sure they haven't started tweeting genocidal slogans.

Shavua tov, Babkans and the rest of #mazeldon!

I'm trying to expand my range and try out a new prayer book. What are your favorite non-Orthodox, non-Masorti/Conservative siddurim for shabbat and weekdays? Recommendations from Sefardi or Mizrahi traditions also welcome!

Preferably English and Hebrew, no transliteration. (I've been trying to get my hands on a Siddur haKohenet for months but it's out of stock 💔)

I like this article, especially “Lesson 3” on the list of misconceptions, that Donald Trump has “electoral magic.”

Nikki Haley (and no, I don’t support her) just got 39% of the vote in South Carolina against the person who is supposedly in full control of the GOP. He will get the nomination but he is weak. Some of those 39% in the general will not be with him.

2024 election cycle shows how little we have learned from 2016:

Donald Trump has been hit with a massive one-two punch in his bank fraud case.

He owes $372 million for lying—and he can't borrow money from any New York bank, frustrating his ability to appeal the judgment.

The ICJ has said what I and most other Jews I know have been saying:

It's not a genocide, but it could become one if extreme care isn't taken.

There's nothing surprising or revelatory in that.

But I suspect that for those who were frothing at the mouth for "Israel" to be labeled genocide - you know, the ones who call all Jews "genociders"- this will either change nothing, or else they'll now simply turn on the court they previously praised.

sigh Get ready for a fresh wave of antisemitism on the Fediverse.

3 years ago today, Donald Trump and a violent mob tried to overthrow the will of the American people and cancel 81 million votes. He did so in the midst of a pandemic that he let get out of control and an economy that was in a catastrophic state.

The most documented coup attempt in all of history yet the Republicans are still willing to deny it in service to their own need for power. I am sickened by every one of them.
