Shalom friends!
On #Passover, we eat maror, bitter herbs. In honor of the holiday and to pay homage to the iconic hot sauce-based interview series “Hot Ones,” my study partner Geo brings 7 horseradish based varieties of maror, and a bunch of interview questions, to this video. Each maror is named after one of the seven levels of hell in #jewish mystical thought. Will I survive?? Will I be able to answer any of the questions? Or is this my personal Gehennom?? Find out in The Maror Reactions Challenge!

A very worthy reflection for #Passover week.

"The deportations do not only violate the most fundamental rights of due process. They also exemplify MAGA officials’ utter lack of humanity for anyone who does not look, sound, and think as they do. It is the antithesis of empathy—the worst governmental abuse of power in my lifetime directed at people least able to defend themselves."

Patrick Murphy comments on how quickly the violent attack on the family of Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro receded from the news, and what this says about us:

"Perhaps the most dangerous thing about political violence today isn’t the violence itself. It’s how quickly we scroll past it.

That’s what happened this past weekend in Pennsylvania."

#Palestine / Happy #Passover !

See how #Israeli media is sharing photos of IDF soldiers in active duty in #Gaza, with faces obscured to hide their identities as they likely commit war crimes.

I’m pretty sure #ynet has published more stories about rescued animals than about the women and children Israel has been slaughtering since the start of the war, using bombs supplied by #Biden and #Trump.
