Lander: "I want a mayor who will keep Jews and all New Yorkers safe, and I would not be supporting Zohran Mamdani if I wasn't confident that he would."

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

hell yeah it’s june 🏳️‍🌈

On a twitter space today, Sameer Project shared that we are about 2 weeks away from no food or medication left to buy in the Gaza Strip. If we don't act now over a million people will starve to death.

Antisemitism watchdog group unveils alternative plan to Trump's campus fight The Nexus Project calls for protecting DEI and fighting the "weaponization of antisemitism."

Today, we are proud to unveil an alternative strategy for confronting antisemitism — and its political exploitation — in the Trump era.

Been telling colleagues that the leaders most equipped to deal with this Trump administration are the same ones who had moral clarity about Gaza. It's because they understood how these polices are interconnected. Van Hollen has been and is one of those people.

It was never about antisemitism From abducting college students to an attack on a Jewish governor, Trump’s real motivations remain clear.

What @marisakabas.bsky.social said.

here is a thing that has happened or been revealed in the days since the president dared the supreme court to arrest his staff for violating their Constitutional authority

Suing far right influencers who spread conspiracy theories about private figures to audiences full of unhinged and violent trolls is good, and more people put through these horrible ringers should do it.

1) Do something autocratic
2) Wait to see how people react
3) If they don't push back hard enough, carry on
4) If they do push back hard enough, "pause" it
5) Illegally consolidate more power
6) Repeat

Meme of Louis Farrakhan pointing captioned .......is that a cracker in black people's business?

& comes from someone w a melanin-deficiency

Many folks w/o said deficiency will be like 🤨

You’ll never be able to get labels like “terrorist” or “criminal” to hurt the Right.

The main question for me right now is how many days remain until the FBI and DOJ begin behaving like ICE.

Last night 1000+ Jews stood outside of ICE headquarters to call for the return of Mahmoud Khalil, the end of deportations, and the end to attacks on the democracy we need to keep Jews and everyone safe.

You can listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. Links in reply.

Mahmoud Khalil’s Detention Is a Trial Run The pro-Palestine student was arrested without due process for exercising his right to free speech. He will not be the last.

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This is just Nazism.

Cutting $880 billion from Medicaid is going to have a lot of devastating consequences for a lot of people

My fifth grader asked me if Snoop Dogg was a composer, so I'm holding out hope for the future

Has anyone written a think piece about the patterns of toxicity that show up when trying to date in movement spaces? Someone has to have. If not I’m doing the expose. Who’s publishing it? @jewishcurrents.bsky.social you want this?

Every time I remember Stephen Miller designed this rush of orders to burn me out specifically I get a new burst of energy from the spite alone. The very thought of my exhaustion giving him an ounce of joy makes me want to burst through walls

This tragedy has been devastating for families and loved ones in Massachusetts & across the country.

Our family is sending our love and condolences to the skaters, coaches, and the Skating Club of Boston community.

One of the best parts of social media is getting to watch artists see people interact with their work in real time. #BadBunny crying at everyone’s DTmF videos is such a beautiful thing and I am just so glad to be alive in a moment where that sort of back and forth exists.
