We will never be the same country again. Ever.

This isn’t a fucking movie. It’s real.

I am heartbroken to hear of the terrorist attack this afternoon on Pearl Street during the peaceful gathering of our Jewish community. My heart is with the victims and their families as they recover from the physical and emotional trauma of this unthinkable hate crime.

When Jewish Americans are being physically attacked for raising awareness about hostages being held by an antisemitic terrorist group, it is abundantly clear those of us who aren't Jewish aren't doing enough to hold antisemitism accountable. We need to do more. Immediately. This has to stop.

Most Jews have been banging on the table for the last 19 months that this could happen.

Enough is enough. Non-Jews need to clearly speak out against the blatant and growing rot of antisemitism that’s fueling despicable acts like what we saw today in Boulder.

Nope, wrong one

Get caught up on measles shots before spring break, Colorado state epidemiologist says As of late last week, 164 people in the United States had confirmed cases of measles – more than halfway to last year’s total of 285 in the first two months of the year. Most cases were in Texas.…

The CDC estimates 88.3% of Colorado kindergarteners had their shots to prevent measles, mumps and rubella, tying the state for the sixth-lowest vaccination rate in the U.S.

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

I’m proud to have the opportunity to testify in front of the Colorado State Legislature to support a bill (HB25-1005) that would provide a tax credit to Sundance Film Festival (should they choose to make #boulder and #colorado their home).

You know what I really don’t want to do right now? Submit my tax forms to the IRS. Who is there to receive them? Will they be dumped directly onto the Musk intern’s server? Is there any chance I’ll get my refund? And what exactly am I paying federal taxes for if it’s not funding ED, USAID, etc.?

And so begins four years of awake at 3 am.

Thanks for the reminder!
