Why do the Friday podcasts no longer appear on the YouTube playlist? That was the easiest way to watch them for me and it’s frustrating that they disappeared
I was threatened by someone on X just for disagreeing about Khalil - saying ONLY that my husband went through this process and that it's extremely strict, you can absolutely be deported for a laundry list of things. I was just stating facts and taking Israel and Gaza off the table. They went to my profile and said - "I see you work at xxxx, I wonder how they would feel about your support of a Nazi/Fascist President? Let's see if we can make that happen." It was absolutely a threat made in the coldest of terms. I'm a small fish with only 1,200 followers and right out of the gate, over an uncontroversial post without a hint of malice on my part - this is the threat. I should probably change my information somewhat and my YT name (I put my full name when I signed up a million years ago.)
I also interviewed a drag queen for a local paper about her new podcast. A lovely person, very much wanting both side to talk to each other. There was even admission that Republicans were nicer than Democrats - who wouldn't tolerate any communication with the other side. However, there was tons of talk about how amazing Luigi is and how, maybe now he/she finally understands the second amendment! The reason Luigi "has the right idea" according to her, is because of losing a parent young and leaving the other parent hit with enormous medical debt. Is it only because my mother raised me to believe that it's wrong (based on religious tenant - not crazy religion, just boring Protestant faith) and NEVER ok to wish harm on another person? Is this a product of the loss of basic spirituality, or is it the "sanctioned hate" people are buying into? I would bet it's both.
