HAPPY TAYLOR ALBUM DAY TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE

60 years ago tomorrow (on the Jewish calendar): Sandy Koufax sits out Game One of the World Series because of Yom Kippur. Koufax lost Game Two, yielding two runs (one earned) in six innings. He pitched a shutout in Game Five and another complete game shutout on two days rest in Game Seven to clinch.

A volcano in southwestern Iceland erupted early Wednesday in a spectacular show of spewing lava and glowing magma, marking the 12th eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula since 2021.

Elon Musk's AI chatbot churns out antisemitic posts days after update In some posts, Grok inserted antisemitic remarks into its answers without any clear prompting.

The AI chatbot Grok, which is produced by Elon Musk’s xAI, wrote numerous antisemitic social media posts Tuesday after the artificial intelligence company released a revamped version of it over the weekend.

This marks a new low for Unity of Fields, a group promoting “militant direct actions.” By glorifying the DC Capitol Jewish Museum shooter in its propaganda, the group fosters an environment that not only excuses but also normalizes violence. Learn more:

"The ADL Center on Extremism has identified, with a high degree of confidence, Sean Salas of Allen, Texas, as a member of the group and likely its leader. ABM is primarily active in Texas, Florida and Georgia, and has alleged a propaganda reach far beyond those states."

Completely staggering. These numbers represent people, families, communities’ pain and fear. We must continue to do more to combat antisemitism and hate in our nation.

Extremism researchers when they realize that the OKC, Waco, and Columbine anniversaries, Hitler’s birthday; Easter; and Passover are all this weekend.

The Mountains Sing by Nguyen Phan Que Mai was a beautiful, haunting, and hopeful epic of historical fiction about a family in Vietnam. Learned a lot of history and felt all the feelings.

Yellowface by @rfkuang.bsky.social was an intriguing, unique read. The writing really drew me in. It’s a story that makes you sit with the uncomfortable.

I read these over Pesach.

Bipartisan senators rebuke White House move to end legal aid for unaccompanied minors The letter obtained by NPR marks a rare bipartisan critique from Capitol Hill of the administration's immigration policy.

Earlier this week, Sen. Lisa Murkowski and Sen. Jon Ossoff (@ossoff.senate.gov) penned a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services, criticizing the termination of legal services for unaccompanied children and urging the Trump administration to fully restore these vital programs.

TIMELINE ABREGO GARCIA GANG ALLEGATIONS - SEPARATING FACT FROM FICTION. 2011-2019: Entry and Early Life: Kilmar Abrego Garcia flees El Salvador to the US at age 16, after M-18 gang members extort his family and threaten to kill him and rape his sisters if they didn’t keep paying. He moves in with his US citizen brother in Maryland and lives there without trouble for years. March 28, 2019: PGPD Arrest. Kilmar is arrested for loitering outside Home Depot while looking for day labor. A Prince Georges County PD detective grills him about whether he’s a gang member. He denies any involvement. Four hours later, he is transferred to ICE custody, without PGPD charging him for any offense. April 2019: ICE Allegations: At a bond hearing, ICE claims Kilmar is part of MS-13. They submit one piece of evidence: a “Gang Field Interview Sheet” (GFIS) filled out by the PGPD detective that claims Kilmar is part of MS-13. The GFIS says (1) he was wearing Chicago Bulls gear, and (2) a “confidential informant” allegedly claimed that Kilmar was a ranking member of the “Westerns” clique, which is in Long Island, a place he has never lived in.

Summer 2019: Investigation: Kilmar’s lawyers reach out to PGPD to investigate these claims. They find out that (1) the police did not even file an incident report about his arrest, and (2) the detective that filled out the GFIS has been suspended for an unknown reason. August 2019: IJ Decision: At his final bond hearing, ICE declines to offer any evidence of gang membership other than what’s in the GFIS. The IJ denies bond, finding that the GFIS is sufficient proof of membership at this time, despite noting its obvious flaws. Kilmar appeals this decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. October 2019: Withholding Win: The immigration judge rules that Kilmar is ineligible for asylum because he filed the application too late. But the judge does grant “withholding of removal,” finding that it was “more likely than not” that he would be subject to persecution if deported to El Salvador. A removal order is issued, but with a restriction that the one country he cannot be deported to is El Salvador.

December 2019: BIA Decision: Kilmar appeals the bond decision to the Board of Immigration Appeals. The appeals board declines to find “clear error” in the immigration judge’s decision to rely on the GFIS document. However, he is released anyway because he had won withholding of removal. 2019-2025: Normal Life: Kilmar lives a normal life in Maryland with his U.S. citizen wife, their biological son, and his two stepchildren. With his work permit, he gets a job as a sheet metal worker, joins a union, and raises his family in a DC suburb. He doesn’t get into any trouble with the law. March 2025: Sent to CECOT: On March 12, 2025, ICE comes to Kilmar’s home and arrests him in front of his children. Three days later he’s transferred to Texas, where, thanks to an “administrative error,” he is put on a plane to El Salvador and sent to CECOT

Since the Trump admin continues to claim Mr. Abrego Garcia is a gang member, I thought I'd take the time to put together a timeline, based on all the documents filed in court, which lays out all the "evidence" the government has ever offered.

As you'll find out, there's very little "there" there!

To discuss MD father Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return

"If Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release."

Unanimous ruling.

The new Netflix series Adolescence — which explores the arrest of a boy suspected of killing a female classmate — has ignited urgent conversations young men’s relationships with the internet, women, and themselves. Gender-based violence has long been a core focus at ISD.

Yesterday, I fondly remembered my dear friend Leonard Nimoy, who would have turned 94. His legacy lives on in our hearts. Just days ago, Bill Shatner celebrated his 94th birthday — wishing him continued health and happiness. Live long and prosper, my friends.
