It is incredibly cool, as a board member for Baltimore Spurs, to see our relatively small city on this list! Most rankings like this would group us with DC and we wouldn’t even be listed!

ernest hemmingway story about you dropped

Through May, Baltimore has recorded 54 homicides, the fewest through the first 5 months of a year on record. The previous low: 65 homicides, in 1977. At this point in 2022, just three years ago, there had been 138 killings, and in 2017 there had been 146 people killed.

Rest in peace Jonathan Joss

I’ve said this before, but rarely does “the government gets to expel whomever they want against their constitution” go well for Jews. It’s also morally wrong, but Jonathan Greenblatt has no morals.

there is really no way to interpret this other than as the ADL demanding that critics of Israel be subject to extradjudicial detention

This isn’t super the point, but alleging antisemitism when there isn’t any (anywhere from this bullshit to calling on the Israel government to not murder children) makes Jews less safe. Fuck Yitzy, from a Jewish Baltimorean.

My frustration re: Ange isn’t that we are considering sacking him, even though I’m Ange In. It’s that the rumors are not the style for which we already started our rebuild. We can’t rebuild off a rebuild again. Pick a style, build to that, if you want to sack Ange find someone who plays that way.

It took me four months to finally open @peterbeinart.bsky.social’s book, How to be Jewish After the Destruction of Gaza, and I plowed through it in two days. It’s incredibly well-researched and Peter knows his Torah and Talmud. If nothing else, it made me feel less crazy and alone.

Embarrassed to have gotten my doctorate from there.
