Russia has abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, plunging families into every parent's worst nightmare.

Now, Trump funding cuts threaten to close a Yale center that helps identify these children and bring them home.

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

The Israeli Embassy shooting is horrifying.

And it comes than six weeks after a Trump supporter tried to assassinate Gov Josh Shapiro and his family.

Anti-Semitism, like all hate, is vile and must be eradicated.
The murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers outside the Capital Jewish Museum in D.C. tonight is horrifying. This is what happens when antisemitic propaganda is permitted to go unaccountable. We cannot condone hateful rhetoric against the Jewish community.

Mhairi is my favorite romance author, miles above the rest. I devour everything she writes and this one was no exception. I loved this!

If the Democrats don’t make an absolute buffet out of this group chat national security scandal, primary each and every one of them. It’s literally on a silver platter.

Bravo to The Safekeep (my favorite book of last year) and The Ministry of Time. Loved both of these books!
The 2025 #WomensPrize for Fiction longlist. Which ones are you excited to read first?

Me, offering my two cents on everyone’s Oscars outfits tonight

Finally watched The Brutalist and unsure what to think. All I’m hoping for tomorrow’s #oscars is for Conclave to win Best Picture, and for Jessie Eisenberg to win for Best Original Screenplay.

Aaaaaaand nothing for Emilia Perez.

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America.

It’s already starting to be a shitty Monday, two job rejection emails before 10am. A new record!

Would just like to read books forever instead of working please and thank you.

the Jewish community is united in our heartbreak about the Bibas family.

no resistance movement can justify kidnapping and murdering babies. it can't be argued or minimized with vapid whataboutism.

this line can't be uncrossed.

Very glad that A Real Pain won the #bafta for Original Screenplay. Absolutely incredible film. Bravo to Jessie Eisenberg.

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out.

Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal.

Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home.

That.

Do that.

🚨 Help us locate 'lost' Jewish books! 🚨

The Leo Baeck Institute’s Library of Lost Books is calling on citizen scientists to report sightings of books looted by the Nazis. Read about the initiative & how you can help here: blogs.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/oxfordtraine...

Have you seen this book?
Since we as trainees get the chance to visit many libraries, and spend a lot of time in them day-to-day, I thought I would introduce to you a different kind of library today: The Library of Lost Bo…

I will also add that people in Congress are not volunteers. They are being paid. They have health insurance. They have retirement. They have ONE JOB—to serve their constituents. And if they cannot figure out how to push back politically they don't deserve to be in office.
