Trying to keep my heart and soul open by focusing on (the real) blue sky, green trees, the soothing sound of crickets at night, the purr of cats, and memories of mountains in autumn and ocean waves breaking on shore. #PetParent #Jewish #VeryLiberal

World, don't look away. Don't look away like people did in the 1930's and 40's in Germany as the trains rolled by... www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Traitortot is trying to vaporize the postal service now. We, the people, are the only thing standing between our precious constitutional republic & a fascist takeover, & the only way to stop 47 is if we RESIST. Call the congressional switchboard at (202) 224-3121 & tell your reps to STOP 47!

Are the so-called feminists in America and throughout the world ever going to SPEAK UP? Will anything make them care? Or do they not care because the unspeakable violence by H*m*s on and since October 7th is happening to Jewish women? WHERE IS SHIRI?! www.australianjewishnews.com/womens-organ...

Where is Shiri Bibas? Where is the outcry from the world?

I've come up with the perfect slogan for the Traitortot Coup, as I call the 47 admin. The slogan is: "Let them eat cake." 😢

People have now died--read "been murdered"--by 47, Musk & Puppetmaster Putin suddenly & illegally freezing USAID. They are murderous monsters.

Yarden Bibas' words made me cry. I pray that tomorrow, we will see a miracle. I want to see Shiri, Ariel and Kfir come out of darkness, and come home. 😔💔💝 #BringThemHomeNow #LetMyPeopleGo #BringShiriArielAndKfirHome www.israelnationalnews.com/news/403584

In my backyard, my nectarine tree has decided it is Spring! In scary, hard, sad, faith-and-or-hope-challenging times, nature is at once grounding and uplifting. Nectarine flowering in back yard; 2/7/2025 at dawn.

SO heartened & inspired to see my fellow resisters out in the streets nationwide today & all that my Dem Party elected reps are doing! We've found our sea legs! #Resist

Ah, now I see from whence 47's prejudice against immigrants springs: his BFF Musk is an immigrant, currently on a heinous crime spree that poses a clear & present danger to all Americans & America itself, & thus Musk should be deported before he starts eating the dogs (because you know it's coming).

DC friends: rally TODAY (2/4/2025) at the US Treasury, 4:45 p.m.! #RESIST! www.mobilize.us/moveon/event...

I support this. Elon Musk cannot dismantle USAID without an act of Congress. Democrats must use every lever at our disposal to block his illegal takeover and shutdown of an essential government agency.

Oooh, Rachel Maddow's got her good stuff tonight! The stellar streak continues! God bless her and the light she shines on things we need to see.

Thank you, @velshi.bsky.social, for keeping 45/47's cruel family separation policy front and center at a time when there is a fire hose of important news coming at us. Keep shining the light on this fascist cruelty, as it's up to all of us to speak up and stand up against it and for each other.

FBI Director nominee Kash Patel promised no retribution. The next day, we have this grotesque purge at the FBI. Bondi said she would examine pardons on a case by case basis. Then Trump gave 1550 pardons overnight. Their confirmation commitments mean nothing.

🚨 Call your senators and tell them NO on RFK Jr! (202) 224-3121 CALL. THEM. ALL. Flood the switchboard. 🚨

Trump fires elite federal law enforcement officers to make room for criminals. Consequently, the corrupt will prosper and evade prosecution, the virtuous will be investigated, and all will be extorted and corrupted.

The ordinary questions you might ask: Is Elon Musk a government employee? Are his lieutenants? Does he personally hold a security clearance and do his “lieutenants”? Have they all undergone a background check? Are they subject to foreign influence? Have they ever done a sieg heil on stage?

Where are Shiri, Ariel and baby Kfir Bibas? Bring them home now l. 🎗️🎗️🎗️ #hostages #israel #gaza #hamas

I am worried our 53 days may have begun already.

President Trump has rescinded former President Biden’s Executive Order which created a task force to reunite families deliberately separated at the border by Trump. As many as 1,000 families remain separated because of that policy.

Tonight is the second night of Hannukah, yet two of our most precious lights are missing. Bring home Kfir and Ariel 🧡

Errol Morris and I had an excellent conversation with Shumita Basu for Apple News about how we document in SEPARATED how family separation came to be during the first Trump term, and how it could soon happen again.

Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Errol Morris confronts one of the darkest chapters in our country’s history in SEPARATED. For Your Consideration.

Wishing all the people who spent the last year calling for my family to be violently "decolonized" from Israel a joyous Thanksgiving in the comfort and safety of their homes. ❤️

Shabbat Shalom to people who fight hate and extremism. Shabbat Shalom to people who prioritize empathy, equality, and peace. Shabbat Shalom to people who want to build a better world. ✡💜

Sinwar set out to destroy Israel on October 7th, but instead he destroyed Hamas, Hezbollah, Assad, and Columbia University.

I feel seen

“The CIA & the FBI are trembling,” Komsomolskaya Pravda, a Russian newspaper, wrote in glowing profile of Gabbard, noting, positively, that Ukrainians consider her “an agent of the Russian state.” Rossiya-1, state TV, called her a Russian “comrade” in Trump’s cabinet www.nytimes.com/2024/11/18/u...

well, i wouldn’t say “fears” so much as… expectations? is that the right word? great, challenging conversation with the excellent yalda hakim and my pal richard engel: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish. Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part. Who’s with me?

A person (now sadly passed away) who was & always will be very important to me, & who lives on in my heart, soul & memory forever, was trans. Because of her, I became a fierce ally of trans people. Today, on TDR, I pause, think of her, & recommit to standing with and up for trans people and rights.
