Exactly a week ago tonight, I bought an outstanding quesadilla from a food truck around the corner from my house.

Sometime today, the man who smiled warmly and provided my meal to me, and literal shelter from a rainstorm, was kidnapped by paramilitary forces.

ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children.
This is so heartbreaking 💔

it's wild to me that we have a letter from 850+ rabbis denouncing zohran mamdani for things he never said and positions he never took while no such letter has been written condemning stephen miller for claiming to "defend jewish values" while being an utter fucking nazi and dismantling our democracy
it’s funny how the attacks levied last night against zohran mamdani by andrew cuomo more accurately describe stephen miller — totally inexperienced, deeply ideological, surrounded by antisemites, speaks like he’s talking exclusively to the internet, will bring about a policy nightmare, etc.
this is the problem with letting men like this get away with saying shit on tv instead of real life. i dare this man to say this shit out loud in any bar on the north shore

We have literal neo-Nazis working in the administration and still, little concern relative to Mamdani.

It's a reminder that for many, it's not just that they associate anti-Israel rhetoric with antisemitism. It's that it is their ONLY definition, and antisemitism unrelated to Israel is ignored.

If an authoritarian gains control of the capital city, it becomes much harder to stop him overall.

Everyone who wants to stop Trump needs to help stop this.
"So we're getting this information from multiple sources [...] within the mayor's office and within Metro Police Department, that President Trump, come tomorrow, will deploy the National Guard along the streets of DC."

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.

One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.

They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

When people die because their Medicaid is gone and kids starve because there’s no SNAP, all so that greedy corporations and the super rich can get richer, I hope everyone remembers who to blame.

A beautifully written essay.

"We’re not allowed to kill people. We’re not. I’m totally clear on this...Why does it feel like a shameful betrayal to say this out loud in Jewish spaces?"

Because intra faith conflicts are the hardest and lately our leaders have made denial an unhappy choice.
