I made all the food I’m eating this weekend from scratch. Please clap

Oded ❤️‍🩹💔 We mourn your murder 🖤 We celebrate your life ✨️ May we continue your life's work! יהי זכרו מהפכה! Via @queenmab.bsky.social:

I don’t think conservative Jews understand how dangerous it is to support GOP fighting antisemitism as attacking only threats to Zionism while they attack birthright citizenship. They’re going to use dual loyalty to denaturalize us while claiming they’re combatting antisemitism

Five major airlines are suing to overturn a rule from then-Transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg that actually holds airlines accountable for damaging disabled people's wheelchairs. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Watching the Netflix doc on Gabby Petito and this fucking cop saying there’s no probable cause when he has the van that’s only registered to her and she’s been reported missing is so infuriating. What probable cause could they find if they wanted? Cops will never help w/ DV

As Peltier walks free please remember Anna Mae Aquash

Half the advocacy and research jobs I know I could do and even am basically already doing in some capacities require a JD. I'm freaking out so much about work I might go back to law school to expand teaching and research job options

Will rant about white supremacist antisemitic patriarchy in the US legal system for money

The story of Frances Thompson (a black trans woman who testified to Congress in 1866 about white men who sexually assaulted during the Memphis Massacre) is so incredibly telling to me because the southern media used her status as a trans woman as proof all testimony against them was a lie

Going over research for my book and I just read about the American Jewish Congress purposely not talking about antisemitism in the 1920s because they worried drawing attention would other & racialize American Jews and this is what I mean when I say assimilationism will kill us

Tired of the “are Jews white?” Convo. Just calling myself off white from now on

I just added my name to the list of Jewish leaders printed in the NYTimes saying no to ethnic cleansing. If you’re Jewish please consider signing on to oppose ethnic cleansing being done in our name www.saynotoethniccleansing.org

If any editors want someone to write about voter suppression and women in relation to the SAVE Act I’ve been talking about these issues for years

The SAVE act would be disastrous for many voters but would particularly make it almost impossible for married women and trans people to vote. Two groups w/ high numbers of name changes & exacerbating an issue I’ve been screaming abt since 2017 that no one listened to

My regular post asking if anyone knows of any job leads! Happy to write, teach, research, consult. DMs are open!

I'm back from this rally. I bundled up and didn't freeze. I was heartened by the turnout. I have some photos and will post after I get some lunch. Trans lives matter. We all need to do our part to support at every level of society.

People need to start making the abortion as self defense argument asap. I laid out the legal argument two years ago www.alternet.org/2022/08/abor...

Jews have faced mass deportations & expulsions throughout our diasporic history. There is no excuse for anyone in our community supporting such a policy. And make no mistake-it will eventually come for us too

Has anyone heard of The Fallen State YouTube series? I got an interview request

NEW: The Jewish leaders who led the early X ad boycott under Musk released a new letter. We call on: 1. Companies to pull ads from X 2. Google/Apple to drop X from stores 3. People with 100k+ followers to leave X 4. Jewish orgs to speak up 5. Major shareholders to pressure Musk

The American College of OB/GYN’s website is now hosting the critical documents purged by the CDC This is what every professional medical organization should be doing right now #MedSky www.acog.org/clinical/cli...

I know nothing about this but is there anyone with access to the data that’s been scrubbed from govt websites that can be put up elsewhere? I know I must be missing something cause I’m sure ppl have thought of this
