Peeps, you DO realize that our non-white friends and neighbors...are now carrying their birth certificates and passports so they can PROVE they are US citizens "just in case"?

There is NO version of America where this is OK. Defund ICE. Restore due process and rule of law.

So many of my older Jewish friends and relatives, including much of my own family, supported the Anti-Defamation League, literally for generations, for reasons including:

— They cared about civil rights
— They cared about fighting antisemitism
— They understood that the two are inseparable

We have forgotten what it's like to hold a child paralyzed with polio or comfort a mom who has lost her child from measles. It wasn’t that many generations ago. And I don‘t want to see us go backward. They protect children. They are our best defense against these terrible illnesses.

Interesting that an article about US concentration camps is in the "business" section of the paper.

Concentration camps in plain sight.

I started using blue books for daily reflection in class about readings and class discussions. 5 minutes of quiet time and private reflection. The BB is reused each class until full. Students seemed to appreciate it. No one complained about "hand cramps."

Thinking about the fundamentals of #Christmas, I am amazed that so much of the world is excited to celebrate the birth of a Jewish boy in Judea some 2000 years ago. Mazal Tov!

A gorgeous Ruth Asawa exhibit at the MoMA in NYC. Who knew that two mesh cones would make a Magen David appear from all directions❣️

A Ruth Asawa mesh sculpture with two bubbles of mesh wire with two cones nested in each making them look like Star of David/Magen David.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…

* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M

So YES this has been a huge success.

A thread of some of the men appointed bishops in the United States by Pope Leo. This is so needed when immigrants, Hispanics, and marginalized populations are under such threat from the Trump-Vance administration.

But it's more upsetting. Trump didn't go up there and put it up. Someone ordered a design and the letters, hired a crew to mount it. Who are these people?

Now, swastikas and nooses are "potentially divisive." I guess they need "context." Where is Stefanik's outrage when one needs it.
