They say that Jewish holidays line up with reality in unexpected ways. In a few week’s we’ll observe a holiday about an inept amoral leader and his antisemitic advisor. Weird.

My act of resistance today is reminding myself that I really do believe a better, just, and peaceful world is possible. And that we can make it that way.

I've posted four types of YouTube videos in the last month, approaching Judaism in different ways. 1. A rant/unpolished exploration of an idea 2. A compilation of kashering guides 3. A video essay 4. A text study Creating each has taught me a lot. Are there any types you particularly like?

Don’t let antisemites drag your identity into entirely combatting them. That must remain only a part. The other part must also be: - Deepening your Judaism - Building community - Learning Torah (in the broad sense) - Exploring your history Being a Jew is more than their hate.

Republican lawmakers have a choice: 1. Remain afraid of MAGA and become collaborators, forever recognized as Nazi enablers. 2. Grow a spine, be a patriot, and get into the fight. Their fear of violence is guaranteeing it for the rest of us.

Next week, we’ll enter the month of Adar, which asks us to be joyful. This seems hard to fathom at this moment. I’ve put together some sources on how to manage this tension. I hope it helps.

What if, next week, every fired Federal worker just showed up to work and said they refuse to accept their firing for no cause, and they have important work to do? Thousands at NIH and CDC, thousands more at Education and Labor and the EPA. Tell the media what work Musk is keeping you from doing.

Shiri and the rest of the hostages need to be home with their families. Without this, there are no pathways forward to peace. Peace is worth pursuing, for everyone.

I’m too angry and heartbroken to think straight. You might be feel that way, too. Don’t make any big decisions when in this state. Today doesn’t have to be about action. It’s ok to just feel things.

Judaism doesn’t believe in a single leader over everyone. We’re rooted in the idea of community as primary decision maker. The President cannot abrogate or make the laws on their own. Our country has a community based decision maker: Congress

American patriots believe in laws and the Constitution. Republican lawmakers don’t. Instead, they support a lawless dictator. Right now, here’s what we can do: 1/2

Once again, independent media, please find other platforms than substack. I want to support you. I’m not spending a penny there when they help fund Nazis.

Have any media entities actually acted to support AP? I haven’t seen any effort to back them up.

Based purely on the evidence: no one hates Americans more than Republican lawmakers. Why else would they cut funding for the most vulnerable? School lunches? Disability programs? Cancer and medical research? 1/2
