OK how come nobody is mentioning that the Pistons were without both Isaiah Stewart and Jaden Ivey? Don't we think that if the Pistons have those two, Brunson and the Knicks/Floppers go home?

Perhaps the biggest con the right has managed to pull off is peddling the idea that wanting your country to make life better for its people means you hate it.

Muslim prayer room desecrated with graphic graffiti, including the name of a Jewish fraternity, AEPi. Muslim prayer mats soaked in urine. Horrifying. Hate from Israel and right wing US Jews threaten the soul of the Jewish people, invalidating any claim on holiness. It is time for our teshuvah.

"Today’s builders of Babel tell us that there is no room for losers, and that those who fall along the way are losers. Theirs is the construction site of Hell. God’s economy, on the other hand, does not kill, discard or crush. It is humble..." (Jorge Mario Bergoglio, Pope Francis, 4/18/25)

While the market is in freefall, at least one company is thriving. For-profit CoreCivic has contracted with ICE to jail 100s of immigrants in filth in Mississippi, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma. Investors are thrilled. US immigration policy feeds our worst instincts — criminal brutality and craven greed.

Being Jewish means always having to stop and think before you say the words "cavalry" or "calvary"

Garcia was stolen in front of his 5 y/o autistic son, Kilmar Jr. “He's been seeking out his father's work clothes to smell them,” said his lawyer. It's Pesach. Pharaoh hardens his heart when faced with his targets' humanity. Torah provides a clear choice — either accept this reality, or resist it.

I imagine a big reason they don’t want to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from the El Salvador concentration camp is that he’ll tell us what he saw there.

Interesting fact about the Spanish Inquisition: when they arrived in a new town, the announced their arrival thirty days before the Inquisition proper. So in fact, everyone expected the Spanish Inquisition.

At Gwinnett Co Jail to bring books/matzah to a congregant. After some asking, they took the haggadah and matzah. I’m grateful. But I couldn't see him. Too many jailed folks have no access to a seder or haggadah. It doesn’t have to be this way. May Pesach spark an exodus from apathy and injustice.

Given that these grotesque abuses are being conducted for our supposed benefit, what do you imagine they'll do when Jews are not sufficiently grateful? What will be the punishment? And which Jews and Jewish orgs will cooperate? May God give us soft hearts and strong spines.

I know this will be hard to believe, but Latino folks get tattoos for the same reasons that white people do. Evergreen takeaway message? Never believe the racist lies that our current crew of leaders peddle to justify trampling on the livelihood and dignity of the people in this country.

@booker.senate.gov in his 19th hour of a filibuster. I'm finding myself deeply moved by his words. A sample: "It was ferocious love that got our ancestors through evil... Great love means you make your heart vulnerable to heartbreak. If America hasn't broken your heart, you don't love it enough."

History will see these photos as indelible proof of an assault on both human rights and human decency. For Jews, how we responded will reveal whether and how we stayed true to our Jewish values. And how Jewish orgs responded will indicate whether they had any legitimate claims on our allegiance.

The incompetence and illegality are shocking, but there are folks more qualified to speak on the matter. For me, the worst part of this are the fist-bumps and fire emojis, the brazen cruelty, the sociopathic disregard for human life, following an attack that killed dozens of people. God help us.

One of the demoralizing things about having to fight outright fascism is that all of the old problems we never addressed are still here.

Every other day your government does something wildly antisemitic, but they sure did kidnap that kid you didn’t like, so I guess that makes up for it.

See: Nonviolent, unarmed Israelis, protesting the endless brutality of the war, beaten and kicked by those sworn to protect them. After centuries of Jews being beaten by gentile authorities, what a heartbreak to watch us do it to ourselves.

I can’t believe there are Jews who’ve so eagerly sold out due process, and all they’ve gotten in exchange is the satisfaction of sticking it to some grungy student protesters. Who knew they’d trash such cherished values for so little?
