We all want the war to end in Ukraine. Russia started this war & must stop its aggression. The way Donald Trump treats our friends around the world is appalling. He’s done lasting damage to our alliances and made America less safe.

After the bullshit ceasefire proposal, Putin’s Russia launched a double missile strike in Ukraine in President Zelenskyy’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih. Someone should tell creepy racist asshole moron JD Vance that it’s Putin who doesn’t want peace because he is the only aggressor.

The Russo-Ukrainian war started at 4.30 AM on February 27th 2014 when Russian troops took control of the Crimean Parliament building in Simferopol. The invasion of Crimea was followed by the invasion of Donbass in March 2014. The war has been going on ever since.

The attacks are being led by commentator Laura Loomer, a self-described “feisty Jewess” and “proud Islamophobe.” Loomer, who has 1.5 million followers on X and close ties to Trump’s inner circle, accused Furman and his wife Ariela Dubler of being “leftist Jews” who are as dangerous as “Jihadists.”

So we all know the Yiddish Book Center digital archive is amazing, but if you don't know a lot about Yiddish literature already it's hard to know where to start. I'm going to post some recommendations in this thread - feel free to post your own as well!

I can't express how much contempt I have, as a Jewish academic, for a politician who would visit a concentration camp yesterday for a photo-op, then the next day travel to Munich to tell the Germans that they need to end their longtime firewall against the far-right. But that is what JD Vance did.

Sercem jestem z dzielnymi żołnierzami Ukrainy, którzy bronią bastionów wolności przed agresją, chciwością i nihilizmem. Polska będzie wspierać wolną Ukrainę aż do osiągnięcia sprawiedliwego pokoju.

Starlinks for Ukraine are paid for by the Polish Digitization Ministry at the cost of about $50 million per year. The ethics of threatening the victim of aggression apart, if SpaceX proves to be an unreliable provider we will be forced to look for other suppliers.
