Stripping birthright citizenship from people born in this country goes against rights guaranteed in the Constitution. We must stand against unconstitutional actions and stand up for the fundamental rights granted to people in the United States of America.

Remember, this ruling applies only to the specific parents who sued the Montgomery County Board of Education; the Board need not provide opt-out notification to any other parent in the county, since the injunction applies only to the parties

The Navy named a destroyer after Oscar Peterson in 1943, one year after he died. Pretty sure his family was aware of that honor even if Jake Tapper was not.

There's a reason Samuel, in this week's haftarah warns about the dangers of appointing a king, and cautions the people that they & the king must worship God, not human power. And there's a reason the Talmud says that every town worthy of residency must have a court of law. (1/2)

“if you’re at a bar and a Nazi shows up and you don’t kick him out now you’re at a Nazi bar” but half of the time people are insisting there’s no Nazi standing next to them and the other half of the time people are blaming people in this bar for a Nazi in a bar two blocks away and I’m tired.

Do y’all not see that these attempts to make Mamdani a Jew vs Muslim issue is CLASSIC white supremacy pitting minority groups against each other in order to divide us because we are very dangerous to them when we’re in community?? Are y’all for real gonna fall for that shit!?

One thing the Obama transition got wrong was thinking—once in office, policy differences aside—everyone would be pulling in the same direction. And then Republicans spent inauguration eve planning to oppose literally everything the new admin would attempt. Why do I bring that up here? Oh, no reason.

I know this is going to be written off as white fragility, and it's not not that, but I think it's important to understand that one of the reasons why many Jews are ...like this... is because our entire history is stories of thinking we were safe and then having our neighbors violently turn on us.

Becoming apparent every day how the elites in DC/NY's media/political bubble - drunk on right-wing media fed rhetoric - are completely out of touch with rest of the country on its nuanced perspective on immigration.

People claim that NYC has better bagels because of "the water" and this must be the only time in history that people have invented elaborate theories to avoid blaming the Jews.

This is a wonky process but BIG news regarding the Republican budget bill: My staff successfully got multiple provisions removed from the bill. Two key wins: 1) Medicaid provider tax. Striking this means Republicans have to backtrack on hundreds of billions in Medicaid cuts.

This has been the problem with Brandon Johnson. People elected him to be a progressive champion. Johnson serves as a machine politician.

I'm not going to reskeet the skeet that made me feel the need to say this but: NYC is a very Jewish city - public schools are closed for Yom Kippur. It's also a very Muslim city - public schools are closed for Ramadan. It's also one of the most Catholic cities in the nation.

I enjoyed BRING HER BACK (2025) but don’t want to set a precedent that it is OK for Australians to make feature length films. Baz Luhrmann can do it because he is technically from outer space

I talked about this on The Bad Site, but I faced what was, for me, a shocking amount of direct antisemitism in high school and college. Whether it was having a friend stop associating with me, calling me a kike, or frat bros “fishing for Jews” dangling dollars off their porches.

Jews absolutely come by our fear honestly, and way too many non-Jews are dismissive of our vulnerability, but too many of us take that fear and let it fester into something deeply ugly

If I had a nickel for every 21st century presidential candidate with close family members who served as highly educated bureaucrats in early post-colonial 1960s East African governments, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice
