Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same

What these nihilistic vandals are doing to dismantle science & medicine—generations of expertise & public service & life improving benefits—is cultural revolution level national self harm. No foreign foe could inflict such brutal damage & senseless suffering on US so fast & effectively & unresisted.

I'm trying to figure out how to have a life. Facebook is where I go to check out what's up with friends and family. Twitter is still where it's at for Israeli politics. /1 #toomanyplatforms

"... I noticed this year that Torah only begins to say God is with Joseph once he’s in tough circumstances. Was God 'not there' before, or was he just not aware? Did something change within him that enabled him to live with awareness of the holy? ..."

God* With Us: Vayeshev 5785 / 2024
Jacob had twelve sons, and his favorite was Joseph, to whom he gave that “technicolor dreamcoat.” (R. Danya Ruttenberg argues that it might have actually been more like a stripey princess dress.) Jose...

Dear family, friends and colleagues,
Even before my ordination 14 years ago, I have been a strong supporter of Rabbis for Human Rights. This month, I am joining the RHR campaign, Turning Hope into Action, which has a goal of raising $100,000 /1
Together, we can turn hope into action.
Your donation fuels this critical work. This coming year we will continue to build a future grounded in justice, equality, and peace for all.

I was in 11th grade. I listened to the radio in the morning and heard about the assassination of John Lennon. I wore my black stage crew overall to school. No one else seemed to give a damn. That was 44 years ago. I'm still dreaming, but it's pretty depressing to think of what's happened since.
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do;
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too.
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.

John Lennon, 10/9/40-12/8/80

I wrote this one earlier this year, and I'm still pretty proud of it.

Super underrated issue.
i'm a broken record about this but jews on the right love to deputize non-jews to be antisemitic towards those they deem "bad jews" — those who are not religiously observant, or those who are not zionist, or those who are politically liberal — and non-jews love to use these deputy powers

Finally, some truth without the whining.
“To win, Democrats must inspire the public in a fractured information age, engage meaningfully with the cultural shifts around race, gender, family, and migration, make democracy work…and—most critically—deliver tangible results that improve people’s lives.”
The Left Didn’t Sink Kamala Harris. Here's What Did.
It’s easier to blame activists, but far more powerful forces have led Democrats to neglect the real crises facing Americans.

This is an important thread.
it’s our donor class. most jews give to the arts, universities, hospitals, and other secular liberal causes. the jews who give to jewish orgs are predominantly batshit wealthy reactionaries who are themselves disdainful of liberal american jewry, who comprise ~75% of the jewish community.

It's a little difficult to post here these days. It's not easy being an Israeli leftist these days. Self defense is a mitzvah. Self immolation is a sin. But the current situation is just impossible.
