To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

every new restaurant in every major city is either called Thistle+Thorn and thinks adding turmeric to brussel sprouts makes them worth $30 or is called Burger Bitch and has a neon sign in the window that says “im gonna fuck a hamburger”

I've been Windows and PC person since before there was Windows, but as my current laptop is getting cranky, thinking of switching to a Mac. I use it mainly for writing, video conferencing, and consumption of media. Some of the places I write in don't have wifi, so a Chromebook is out. Thoughts?

This TikToker, Franchesca Leigh, is going mega viral for her new 'I Never Thought the Leopards Would Eat My Face' song that she sings over videos of Trump voters and stories about Trump voters whining after the election. This is perfection.

If you know a Jewish leader, you might ask them to read this. You might want to read it, too. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Is there anything quite as threatening as acknowledging the suffering of those who won't acknowledge yours? Or as transforming?

It's so much easier to be angry than to feel the pain of an other. . . . . . . That's it. That's all I got.

Just pausing to observe that right now Palestinian activists and intellectuals are doing a better job of calling out antisemitism than Elon Musk.

The subversion is real, it's the democracy that's aspirational.

If you're a Jewish leader, and think that by making a statement about a crisis in Israeli democracy (having said nothing about the Occupation, or the condition of Israeli Arabs), you're demonstrating some kind of moral courage, Pastor Neimoller would like a word with you.
