democrats take money from investment bankers, lawyers, tech bros, health insurers, hollywood, oil & gas cos., telecom providers, and all manner of industries that engage in shitty behavior that's bad for people and the planet but only one lobby is seen as resolute evil despite all of them sucking

I am Jewish and I’ve been hating AIPAC longer than you have, I promise. AIPAC isn’t why Hakeem Jeffries doesn’t support Medicare For All anymore. And if you imply it is, I think you just like blaming Jews for things. And as a Jew, that makes me feel unsafe with you. I hope you care about that.

You're telling me the guy who attacked that Synagogue this weekend was a Christian Zionist? Who could've seen this coming? Except all the Pro-Palestinian Jews who have been very vocal about the antisemitism baked into Zionism and how Christian Zionism is the dominant force in all this.

Once you get used to it, discomfort* rocks. You can feel your brain making new connections! *-the actual discomfort of trying new stuff you won’t always like, not the forced discomfort of making yourself be around people who feel a false power in making you feel like shit

Discomfort is an essential part of growth and wouldn’t it be so embarrassing to be the exact same person thirty years from now, in a totally different world, because you were so averse to discomfort?

Once you start noticing how the incapacity to handle discomfort affects how people live their lives it's actually pretty shocking how it ruins pretty much every conceivable aspect of existence. Interpersonal relationships, romantic and platonic. Career and education opportunities. Your politics Your willingness to go anywhere. The kind of food you eat. The kind of art you expose yourself to and your ability to read it. It's never just one thing, it touches everything, and once you notice it it's like suddenly being able to see germs or something. Just this horrific catastrophe people look at you askance for screaming about. As I grow older and see what became of my friends and peers who could not learn to handle discomfort, the more I'm like. This is a genuine societal issue

Increasing my discomfort tolerance has also been one of the greatest assets to improving my mental health.

The suspect reportedly held far right ideologies, including the dehumanization of Jews, Iranians, and the Mayor himself. A reminder that we must commit to combatting antisemitism alongside all forms of bigotry. Our collective safety depends on it. 4/4

1. Mitch McConnell suffered a fall on June 14 and has not been in the Senate for two months. But he's continued to get paid his salary of 174K/year. Since he entered the Senate in 1985, McConnell has voted against creating or expanding medical leave — paid and unpaid — at least 23 times.

Golden State Valkyries forward Gabby Williams: “There’s a lot of discourse around trans athletes and what they can compete in. I would welcome a trans athlete on my team or against my team. Anytime. I don’t think it’s a problem in the world, it’s just another way to kind of attack trans people.”
