I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

This is not about protecting Jews, and as Jews it is our responsibility to call out this performative fascism for what it is.
Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable.
Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.
Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

At this point, only Republicans can stop forest fires. The forest fires they are, um, setting. By not setting them.
we just watched 217 house republicans signal willingness to slash medicaid and every democrat voted against it. this is the most substantive legislation they will pass in the entire term. there’s no center to be found here.

Yesterday, I hopped in my car to run some errands -- visit the dentist, send a fax, pick up a phone case for my son's new phone -- and I was driving around my community, something hit me: life in America has completely changed, but there's precious little evidence yet.

Can I just take a moment of joy to share this picture of my wife and I on our wedding day 16.5 years ago? We're going to the theater tonight for Valentine's Day, and I'm taking our joy and excitement about seeing a friend's play as a profound act of defiance. WE WILL NOT BE DISMAYED.
