Local Kahanists have threatened our Palestinian and Muslim neighbors, saying they plan to come to Bay Ridge on Wednesday. These are violent Jewish fascists, and as anti-fascist Jews, we will be there to stand with our neighbors in a large Jewish contingent. 6807 5th ave, BK. 5pm #SafetyInSolidarity

@govkathyhochul.bsky.social: Grow a spine! Remove Eric Adams!

“Longstanding norm” about the president serving as a dictator? Right. Got it.

NYC rabbis and Jewish New Yorkers are gathered at city hall this morning to call on Mayor Adams & Governor Hochul to do everything in their power to block Trump’s mass deportation agenda, and protect our immigrant neighbors. #JewsAgainstDeportations

Over 100 JFREJ members gathered in a zoom just before Shabbat this evening to hear some words of Torah, courage, and care, before lighting Shabbat candles together. Thank you Rabbi @abbystein.bsky.social for leading us in this grounding ritual space.

Disgraceful. We need city and state leaders who are committed to protecting New Yorkers from this fascist administration and the oligarchs running it. Not conservatives more focused on staying in the middle of the road while it lurches right.

So much work to do right now on all fronts. At JFREJ, we see our job as shoring up local protections to keep NY safe from this admin’s attacks, replacing our bootlicking city & state leaders with people who will actually fight back against fascism, and advancing our agenda of care for all. Join us.

Fixed it.

How do we reconcile our immense horror at all the lives that could have been saved and the sheer magnitude of the genocide and war crimes we have witnessed—for which the perpetrators must be held accountable—with our overwhelming relief at the lives that will be saved by this deal? Our statement:

Looking back at all the ways that we showed up for each other and for all New Yorkers in 2024. Donate before midnight to make sure we can keep showing up all over NYC in 2025: Jfrej.org/EOY 📣 Kid-led march to Rep. Dan Goldman's office after a Tot Shabbat for Ceasefire in June

It was freezing last night. Without safe shelters available—let alone actual housing—many homeless people take to the subways in search of a warm place to sleep. This is an unspeakable horror. We do not know the victim’s name, but may her memory be a blessing.

Genocide in Gaza is ongoing and worsening. When we run out of words to describe the atrocities, studies like this remind us of the unconscionable impacts. The whole world is watching & nothing we’ve done so far has worked to #StopArmingIsrael. It’s hard not to despair but we have to keep fighting 💔

Science, amiright?

Want!

Woah. I’m sick to my stomach. Absolutely wretched. 💔

The murder of Jordan Neely in broad daylight on the NYC subway was shocking, horrifying, and utterly disgraceful. May his memory be a blessing, a call to justice, & a desperate plea to do better by our neighbors. Grateful to the activists who made sure we don’t forget him with this creative action.

Everyone should be sharing this story about the Amnesty International report because yes many of us have long acknowledged that it’s a genocide but there are still people who need the validation of a report from an org like Amnesty to believe it’s true zeteo.com/p/amnesty-co...

Amnesty concludes what Palestinians have been telling us for over a year, & what has been plain to see for anyone paying attention- that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. It shouldn’t be this hard to make the case or to force an arms embargo, but meticulous investigations of this kind matter.

I co-sign this important reminder, courtesy of my trusted friend, colleague, comrade, @egsophie.bsky.social

I do this too, as a practice in holding my humanity. For every known case — like the absolutely gutting murder of Hind Rajab — there are 100s more we never hear about. Pile onto that Israel’s impunity & US complicity, it’s enough to make u lose ur mind — & ur heart. Resist that, stay human, always.

The majority of Americans & US Jews believe we must stop arming Israel’s attacks on Gaza. Despite this, the Senate voted yesterday to continue to flout legal & moral obligation & to uphold minority rule.

Thank you to these 18 (חי!) senators for voting to #StopArmingIsrael.

Your calls and emails are working. Don't stop! innmvmt.org/senate
