@CUNY_Prof Well, those countries aren't buying our politicians to control our country through proxies to keep dragging us into endless religious wars.
But Israel is.

BREAKING: Last night the Park Slope Food Coop in Brooklyn, NY voted 67% to boycott Israeli goods (Bamba snacks, tahini, olive oil, peppers, persimmons etc.) — but refused to boycott:
• China (Uyghur genocide/Xinjiang forced labor + Tibet occupation)
• Russia (invasion & occupation of Ukraine)
• Turkey (Northern Cyprus occupation + Syria)
This Israel-only discrimination on national origin clearly and blatantly violates NY Exec Law §296(13).
Both I and S.A.F.E. Campus condemn this bigotry, racism, and antisemitism, and we have today filed a discrimination complaint with the New York State Division of Human Rights.
We will hold them accountable.

BREAKING: Last night the Park Slope Food Coop (foodcoop) voted 67% to boycott Israeli goods — removing products like Bamba, tahini, olive oil and more from shelves in a targeted action against Israeli national origin. This is a clear and blatant violation of NY Executive Law §296(13), which prohibits such discriminatory boycotts. S.A.F.E. Campus has today filed a formal complaint with the NY State Division of Human Rights. We will hold bigots, racists, and antisemites accountable. jpost.com/diaspora/antis… #BDSisIllegal #EndAntisemitism

@KennethRWebster He could have stepped in and overruled.
He didn't.
Republicans love to crow about "personal responsibility", and the buck stops with Paxton.
So, either he's protecting pedophiles, or he's incompetent.
Which is it?
English
There is zero evidence Paxton offered the plea deal.
Attorneys who are employed by the state of Texas offered the initial deal and accepted the final deal without Paxton’s personal involvement.
And it was the best they could do because the lead witness (and victim) refused to testify
This is a dishonest & disgusting narrative
Team Talarico@TeamTalaricoHQ
Reporter: Ken Paxton has taken to calling you ‘Talafreako’ @JamesTalarico: If Ken Paxton is worried about freaks, he should stop giving Epstein-style sweetheart deals to pedophiles. This is the guy who just released Adam Hoffman from jail, an admitted child rapist, after one of Ken Paxton’s wealthy lawyer friends got involved in the case. Ken Paxton even kept him off the sex offender registry. Adam Hoffman was supposed to serve 25 years to life, but instead he served less than a month. As of this week, he’s now back on our streets because of Ken Paxton’s corruption. Ken Paxton is the most corrupt politician in America, and it is costing Texans, it’s endangering our children, and it must end. The Epstein class has no place in Texas.
English
@IMAO_ Is he more offensive than someone who lets a child sex predator off with a 1 day jail sentence?
English
Talarico is much more offensive than someone who just disdains Christianity entirely.
English
@Jnet_margarita Vile people?
You mean, like the Republican you're supporting who gave a child sex predator a 1 day jail sentence?
English
This is the Democrat party.
Evil, hateful and no shame for being vulgar and disgusting.
I don’t understand how anyone can confuse voting for these vile people.
Democrats@TheDemocrats
@StephenM shut up you ugly fuck
English
@CynicalPublius What about being a straight white man who protects pedophiles?
English
At some point in time the Democrats may finally realize that play-acting as a straight white man with a normal testosterone level is not the same thing as actually being a straight white man with a normal testosterone level, and all straight white man with a normal testosterone level are instantly able to tell the difference.
Democrats@TheDemocrats
November, here we come.
English
@bonchieredstate Well, no.
It's just interesting that the choice of all the "Christians" in Texas is a guy who protects pedophiles.
English
People will decide for themselves what they prioritize.
But pretending that Talarico being a comical heretic somehow makes him the Christian choice is laughable and shows you understand nothing about the average church-goer in Texas.
Neera Tanden🌻@neeratanden
Given Paxton's cheating on his wife, indictments and letting off a pedophile, how do People who call themselves Christian vote for him over a seminarian? Honest question. A vote for Paxton is making faith a lie.
English
@JennMGreenberg Boy, this particular election is very much gonna show who's an *actual* Christian, and who's just faking it.
English
Yeah, sometimes you have to vote for a candidate with a track record of moral failings in order to prevent an actually dangerous candidate from getting elected.
You vote for the bad man who says he'll do good things, over the bad man who says he'll do bad things.
But you have to be honest about who they are and what you're doing.
You can't lie or pretend that serious sins and crimes (like adultery, bribery, fraud, etc) are no big deal to justify your vote.
Call evil evil, hold your nose, and vote.
Or, make a statement and vote third party.
But don't lie.
Those are your choices.
Unless you're a liar.
English
@EsotericCD "As a Christian, I'm ok with voting for an adulterer who decided a 1 day jail sentence was fine for a guy who raped a little boy, because he's on my team."
That's literally what you just said here.
English
Feels like a good time to repost a relevant piece. If you think Ken Paxton's odiousness makes James Talarico any better as a choice, then you don't understand why - as a Christian - I consider Talarico to be morally worse: a false counselor hiding behind claimed Christian virtue to lie lead his flock astray.
I *hate* him in ways I will never quite loathe the familiar corruption of Paxton. Do not pretend to me that he is a hero - he is malevolence in a pleasing disguise. nationalreview.com/2026/03/james-…

@hecate40 @DoktorInfinity @tomsappetite No, it was their lawmakers flawed decision to seperate the Texas power grid from the rest of the country, so they can't pull from anywhere else when their shitty, crumbling grid fails.
English
@DoktorInfinity @tomsappetite They have heaters. Their flawed decision to rely on renewable energy caused their grid to collapse during a cold spell. A future that awaits you too with Net Zero madness.
English
entire world was supposed to stop and pray when LA was on fire but this heatwave that threatens multiple natural disasters coming again in europe gets ridiculed and this is why EVERYONE hates americans youre all so ego centric and narcissistic it’s insane
tinashe is coming@fatkintsugi
“this heat in the uk is killing me”
English
@USAFreeAgain @justcuuper "No real Texan"
Paxton is literally from North Dakota.
😅😅😅😅
English
@justcuuper Talarico is a freak…..creepy, and a sick progressive. No way in hell this SoyBoy will win in Texas. No real Texan will vote for him either Red or Blue.
English
Paxton vs. Talarico is a perfect microcosm of current American politics
Paxton, who is currently being divorced for cheating on his wife, whose entire political career has been riddled with corruption and fraud, who is exactly the dirty bought-and-paid-for politician MAGA is constantly fear mongered about, has supporters nodding right along with him as he says “but Talarico is vegan” (he’s not)
I hate this timeline
English
@StephenM And this, right here, illustrates just how freaked out Republicans are about Texas.
If they were actually confident in Paxton winning, Miller wouldn't be wasting his time resorting to juvenile, bigoted insults.
English
The Democrats made history in Texas by nominating their first transgender senate candidate.
Democrats@TheDemocrats
Fired up. Ready to go. It’s time to take back Texas.
English
@NateDuncanNBA Every single coach in the league calls for a challenge in exactly the way Mitch did last night.
If we're gonna start quoting the rule book, there's a pretty specific one on the books that the refs just flat ignore that'd be REAL bad for the Thunder if they started calling it. 😅
English
The referees were correct in denying Mitch Johnson that challenge. The rule is very specific: he needs to first call timeout, then challenge. He never signaled for the timeout before signaling for the challenge.
English
@CAlmanza1007 Someone calling themselves a "journalist" posting ragebait clips is certainly...a look. 🤦♂️
English
How is this any different than Ajay Mitchell’s flagrant foul on Castle in Game 3? Not even a basketball play. Just a straight-up dangerous shove on Williams. Yet you don’t see the same outrage or consequences
English
@Chris_Rinaldi @EricSal_7 Would never underestimate them.
But the sweep will ultimately hurt them going into the Finals.
Yeah, they get rest, but they also have to overcome 9 days of sitting around gathering rust for Game 1, while whoever comes out of the west will be in a normal game to game rhythm.
English
@EricSal_7 Do not underestimate or disrespect the Knicks.
They’ve handled the Spurs and matchup really well with them.
Now NY is healthy, rested and on a mission.
English
The Knicks are the real deal — top three all season no question.
But the last two rounds? They’ve been stuffing mid tier teams in lockers because those teams are stacked with perimeter defensive liabilities.
Sixers had nothing outside of Oubre (and he’s just okay). Cavs? A roster full of guys who can’t guard on the perimeter — straight up cheeks defensively.
The Hawks actually pushed them to six because they do have perimeter defenders.
English
@mynameis_kaylee Except he also does that garbage on nearly every jumper, whether or not he's actually touched.
You guys need to come to grips with the fact that it makes it almost impossible for the refs to determine if it's legit or embellishment.
So, don't complain when it gets missed. 🤷♂️
English
So you don’t see Fox legs hit SGAs legs, there for impeding his landing space which results in him falling which is always a foul??
Are you happy showing your stupidity & lack of knowledge for the rules???
Ryan Hammer🔨@ryanhammer09
Real question: who is okay with this? Like are OKC fans happily defending this?
English
@CuhWristChin__ Tell me you haven't watched a single minute of a Spurs game without saying it. 🤣
English
I see how highlight reels fool people all the time cause you watch this and think he’s a good defender
Naylor@Naylor408
Devin Vassell Defensive Tape
English
@DraftDeeper Uh...yeah.
There's ZERO chance the Grizz move off that pick for the 12th & 17th, no matter how many future picks are included. 😅😅😅😅
Good lord, the click bait is getting out of damn control.
English
I mean… Cameron Boozer with SGA, JDub and Chet? Sign me the hell up as a basketball fan
APHoops@APH00PS
The Oklahoma City Thunder will likely attempt to trade out of their No. 12 and No. 17 draft selections this Summer— with two executives believing they will attempt to trade up to draft Cameron Boozer, per @BrettSiegelNBA. (via clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-storie…)
English
@JeffBiesinger Been saying it for a while.
SGA uses that leg kick followed by a flop move to draw fouls every chance he gets.
Eventually, he's gonna gonna come down awkwardly enough to roll an ankle or blow an ACL, and it *wont* be the defender's fault when it happens.
English
I’ve said this a few times, but as an NBA fan, I hate this. It’s just such an awful way to play basketball. Also, if I were a Thunder fan, I’d hate this too, because history clearly shows that guys who end up on the floor as often as SGA does, usually start to have a lot of injuries pretty early in their careers. Bodies just aren’t meant to do this constantly.
Hoop Central@TheHoopCentral
De'Aaron Fox was called for a foul on SGA here. 😅
English
@AllKindsWeather This is very confusing.
Did you guys really think you could spend three games plunking his daughter with heaters and he'd...what?...just smile and wave it off because he happened to play for your basketball team a million years ago?
Holy fucking tone deaf, Batman. 😅
English
Jason Williams changed a whole bunch of fans’ opinions of him with his behavior today— fact is, he played half of one bad year and then smoked himself off the team.
And facts are still facts no matter the feelings behind someone.
So he won one game at Rupp? Whoopee. Mike White did too. That’s not enough to be recognized as a legend and it definitely isn’t enough good for us to overlook him screaming at and taunting 18-22 year old athletes.
Great NBA career. Nice 15-ish game stretch here at Florida that showed us Gator basketball could be good. Overall impact on Gator athletics is very clearly a net negative, so fuck him.
Ryan@GatorRyan
Yall letting sour grapes influence some absolutely crazy white chocolate takes right now lol
English
@OKSTBourbonBro He kicks his legs forward to try and embellish a foul on 90% of his jumpers.
Makes it impossible for a ref to determine where his "landing area" is to make any sort of call.
So, he's a victim of his own bullshit.
🤷♂️
English
By rule, that’s a flagrant 1. You can be bias & dislike it because it’s SGA but those are the rules
ClutchPoints@ClutchPoints
De’Aaron Fox gets called for a foul on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on this play 👀 Good or bad call? 🤔
