Scalded by negative reviews for their first "Hanukkah" movie ("Who Is the Secret Jew Among Us at Christmas?"), Hallmark responded by making a movie that is the MOST Jewish. Naturally, @davidjroth.bsky.social and I made @mauraquint.bsky.social, @ugarles.bsky.social and @andylevy.net watch it with us.

how many billions will be transferred over the next year to members of ICE/CBP, their wives, and the girlfriends they met in their previous jobs as school resource officers
ICE detain father shopping on Christmas Eve—then steal his family's groceries.
Then 3 agents divvy up his paid for food—taking what they want for themselves.
"Can I just get the wife's number to call and let her know?" woman asks.
"No, guess he should've complied," agent says.

“Went viral” is an old stock phrase in journalism that really does not capture the dynamic of how X dot Com has been tuned to give people like the one specific legislator here the power to intentionally cause this kind of outcome
Texas A&M University will not reinstate a lecturer who was fired after a video of her teaching about gender identity in a children’s literature class went viral, despite a faculty appeals panel unanimously concluding that her dismissal was not justified.
Texas A&M won’t reinstate fired lecturer despite findings
A vice chancellor upheld the firing of Melissa McCoul, seen in a viral video being confronted by a student on her gender identity teachings, saying the termination was done with “good cause.”

I'd go a bit further. The system needs no conspiracy to function. It just needs everyone to understand the direction things are going in. Bari Weiss was put there not to protect a legacy, but to align its politics differently.
