So if these bozos can just change names and put up signs illegally, so can anyone else, right? Asking for a friend... #signofthetimes #signsign #everywhereasign

Especially today, in the face of immense loss and amid the rising tide of antisemitism, the Jewish light must shine brighter than ever. The world must stand in solidarity with the Jewish community and take a clear, unwavering stand against antisemitism.

My bagel rankings:
1. Everything
2. Garlic
3. Onion
4. Cinnamon Raisin (for certain occasions, only)
5. Poppy

I say this because @popupbagels.bsky.social is coming to Ardmore, PA and it appears they have forgotten the excellence of #2 and #3...

Uri Monson, PA budget czar + Gov Shapiro confidant, is new chief at $80 billion PSERS school pension. The pair fired Wall Street managers at much smaller Montgomery County PA fund in 2013. My story: www.inquirer.com/business/pse...

Tierra Walker should still be alive.

She asked for help. She asked if she should end her pregnancy to protect her health. Ninety doctors saw her, and not one offered her the lifesaving abortion care she needed.

A Lower Merion synagogue opened its doors to a local church. A β€˜deeply profound’ partnership ensued. Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El invited Overbrook Presbyterian Church to use its space for worship after a fire. What began as a logistical favor became a lasting cycle of interfaith support.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

It’s time to start talking about the Giants the way we talk about the Jets.

This has been a decade-long disaster.

The truth: Anas Al-Sharif was a Hamas terrorist leader who disguised himself as a journalist for the Al Jazeera network.

When will the international press stop taking Hamas at its word and start doing the most basic task of journalism β€” verifying facts?

Shlomi Ziv, whose courage in speaking out shines a light on the dark reality of Hamas’ brutality. His testimony exposes the hypocrisy of those who hide behind titles like β€œjournalist” and β€œdoctor” while participating in the inhumane captivity of innocent people.

It is time for all companies to either remove or deactivate their X accounts. Why are they still active? Who are they attempting to reach with their message? We have reached the point where they are hurting their brand.

I Remember
I remember the Holocaust.
I remember the 6 million stolen Jewish lives, and millions of others.
I remember the stories.
I remember the survivors.
I remember the heroism.
I remember the resilience.
...and I remember that silence can be deadly.
I remember.
