I am sorry to say it, but this is probably one of the most important things you can repost today.

The clip of Trump getting caught on a hot mic from El Salvador’s government livestream asking Bukele to build more facilities for “homegrown” prisoners has to be played over and over again on all mainstream media — Trump is referring to U.S. citizens. This needs wall to wall coverage.

Just an astonishingly stupid person.

This isn't ok with me as an American Jew. This administration pretends to care about antisemitism when they are actually weaponizing it and using Jews as an excuse to get rid of people they don’t want here. (the next step will be screening Americans' social media activity for anti-Trump sentiment.)

Eppur si muove.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

This is all very stupid.

@realmichaelkay.bsky.social Don’t forget the EIGHT Nobel Prize winners who went to Bronx Science!

Oh, shut the fuck up:

Truer now than in 2020. youtu.be/Pk3N5Aq4fp4?...

I don't think Jewish history offers clear moral lessons absent interpretation, and I don't think trauma brings moral clarity. That said, I do not know how someone can look at Jewish history and think, "I should publicly helping armed agents of the state arrest vulnerable people to make propaganda."

And Trump played golf.

Trump and his top advisors. youtu.be/VdQzy6YZNEc?...
