Many, many thanks to the dear friends who help test-drive my original haggadah and were so eloquent in sharing their experiences of and hopes for liberation. (3/4)

Since her passing and with daily news of horrors pouring out of Gaza, I’ve felt ill-equipped to take on the mantle of guide to others until this year. Arguably, I’m still ill-equipped, but I had “ words to start retelling this story and return to hope for liberation in this moment of our world.(2/4)

Hosted my first seder in this house and this stage of our lives. This holiday, for the longest time, was the joyful domain of a dear friend, z’’l. It was her take on Joan Nathan’s classic (vegan) kishka that took center stage at the meal.

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Absolutely proud of you all! HUG! So far, 3.1 million protesters counted today — that’s nearly 1% of the U.S. population! Photos are flooding social media everywhere. Still waiting on more numbers to come in.

Big win for native plants and wildlife! Governor Youngkin today signed into law legislation that requires plant nurseries and garden centers to inform customers of the invasive tendencies of certain plants that the state department of conservation has identified as being problematic!

This image is a call-to-action flyer urging people to contact Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin to sign the Invasive Species Bills (HB1941 & SB1166) before the March 24 deadline. ### **Key Elements in the Image:** - **Headline:** "YOUNGKIN HAS THE POWER TO LIMIT SPREAD OF INVASIVE PLANTS" - **Urgency:** A bright orange warning sign with "URGENT TASK" written inside. - **Call to Action:** "CALL TODAY - (804) 786-2211 - to urge him to sign the Invasive Species Bills today, before the March 24 deadline." - **Additional Information:** - HB1941 & SB1166 are just one signature away from becoming law. - These bills would require stores to post signage educating shoppers about invasive species and encouraging native plant alternatives. - **Background Image:** Trees with white blossoms, possibly depicting an invasive plant species. The flyer emphasizes the urgency of taking action and includes bold text, highlighted sections, and contrasting colors to draw attention.

Governor Youngkin has a bill waiting on his desk that would be a shot in the arm for efforts to curtail the spread of invasive plants! Can you help us push this bill across the finish line? #RVA #Virginia #VAgov

This is absolutely the idea. That he is one of the more extreme protestors at the university most centered in this convo is also part of it: people will be afraid to speak out even if they disagree with the action.

The goal is staged implementation of fascism, starting with the least desirables.

Gaza’s future: President Trump declared Tuesday that all Palestinians in Gaza — some two million people — should leave, describing a permanent relocation to countries like Egypt and Jordan. As he hosted Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, in the White House, Mr. Trump framed the relocation as necessary because of the devastation wrought by Israel’s war with Hamas after the terrorist attack of Oct. 7, 2023: “Gaza is not a place for people to be living,” he said.

The president calling for a complete and total ethnic cleansing of Gaza with full support from the Israeli PM. Absolutely beyond horrific.

Trump says U.S. will own and develop Gaza, and Palestinians living there should leave The Palestinian territory Gaza has been decimated from its war with Israel, which began with the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by the terror group Hamas.

That news is expected does not make it not an atrocity.

Anyone hitherto uncomfortable with the g-word can conceptualize what the Trail of Tears was, yes? And that you don't just STEAL SOMEONE'S LAND and SEND THEM (where, exactly??) and turn it into a golf course or whateverthefuckever? K.
