It is horrible to see that the Jewish Community Centre and theater in Ljubljana, Slovenia has been defaced with antisemitic graffiti.
The building also hosts the local synagogue and the Museum of the History of the Holocaust in Slovenia.
We stand with the 🇸🇮 Jewish community.

“Bereaved families used to [be like] holy people in Israel,” said @OrlyNoy, who saw people yell “traitor” & spit at hostage families during a protest. “It’s another incredible crossing of a line—the total disintegration of everything [Israelis] thought the state stood for.”

The jury is deliberating in the federal trial of ex-Louisville Police Officer Brett Hankison! If convicted, he could face up to life in prison for violating Breonna Taylor’s civil rights when he opened fire during the raid that claimed her life. Now we await the verdict.

Could it be that there’s a ubiquitous form of violence that is overwhelmingly committed against women and girls, the healing from which is inhibited by stigma, victim blaming, and widespread social indifference to or support for perpetrators? No; it’s that women have bad brains.
