There is much to admire in Abdul El-Sayed's response to the GOP plant in his audience. But one of the most deft things he did was to point out (twice) that our Constitution protects our right to follow *no* religion, thereby casting Christian nationalist Tommy as the actual religious extremist.

It's weird how every day Jewish settler fascists attack anyone and everyone with total impunity, with the army present for every single incident, and there's also never any arrests and every politician condemns it but then spends money and time on defending it. Could settler terror be state policy?

And the 'don't like book learnin' crowd is going to want to dismiss that, but of course a modern society runs on having engineers, accountants, doctors, scientists, *state departments* who treat the dry matter of their expertise with meticulous seriousness.

It demands that approach!
