85% of Gaza is on the brink of death due to starvation. Israel could let aid in at any moment. And some people (like these men tried to do with me on Friday) are still trying to justify this atrocity.

There is no justification. This could stop at any moment. End the blockade now.

“We, a diverse coalition of Jews at Columbia and Barnard, wholeheartedly reject the invocation of Jewish safety as a pretense to persecute, detain, and deport fellow students and community members without due process of law.”

This piece from @jvl.bsky.social is one of the most important insightful I have read since January 20th 2025.

Unique to America, our health care system is designed not to make people well, but to make CEOs & wealthy stockholders incredibly rich. The result: We have the highest infant mortality rate of any wealthy country on earth. How cruel, how immoral is that? We need Medicare for All.

"I Am a Jewish Student at Columbia. Mahmoud Khalil Is One of the Most Upstanding People I Have Ever Met"

@jbenmenachem.com writes that the Donald Trump admin's arrest of Khalil is a fascist attempt to divide communities — and puts Jewish Americans at risk, too.

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

A swarm of cops dragging away a rabbi protesting the abduction of Mahmoud Khalil says everything you need to know about the Trump agenda.

Trump doesn't care about Jewish safety - he's focused on taking away our right to protest. Not in our name.

There’s something new on every page!

I’ve written often about reading with your baby, noting that - at the very earliest stages - it’s okay to start small (a minute or less)…

Despite Rubio’s grandfather’s “insistence that he was fleeing oppression, immigration officials raised suspicions that he might harbor communist sympathies…That charge, had they pursued it, could have led to a conclusion that he was a national security threat.”

Oh. The. Irony.

The Trump administration has deported a 10-year-old girl to Mexico who is a US citizen and is recovering from brain cancer.

Her family was on their way to an emergency medical checkup when they were detained.

A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security.

More of this please.

The level of antisemitism like actual antisemitism against Jews that people are willing to tolerate for the sake of Israel is truly extraordinary.

And I'm not even addressing the racism against Palestinians here.

Fellow Coloradans: Please call Hickenlooper and Bennet to demand they oppose the CR!

The embodiment of Democratic Party resistance. “They’re throwing out the Constitution. I’m not sure how I’ll vote on it.”

When you hear Trump & his supporters defend the detention of a Green Card holder by pretending to care about 1) antisemitism on campus, and 2) trespassing on college property, remember that Trump 1) hosted a Holocaust denier for dinner & 2) pardoned violent insurrectionists.

if you as an American Jew do not want to be used as the excuse for Trump's destruction of civil liberties and basic democratic protections, the time to speak out is right now

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.
