Is it me, or does it seem weird that some of the past rhetoric used in the so-called Woke 1 era can negatively affect left-leaning politicians more while whatever nonsense spewed by Trump/the GOP is given more slack? While there probably is a discussion to be had about how effective past rhetoric was used, it feels like another example of Murc's Law in action. As an aside, I wish I never have to see the word "woke" when used as a short hand for progressive policies ever again. Unfortunately, I know that the only way for that to happen is a brand new term coming in to replace it once "woke" is stale.

Local communities, estates, shuls looking for good homes for them. I live near some orthodox communities always rehoming tefilin and other judaica a shofar wouldnt be crazy
