I’m glad this special space will continue to be utilized. It’s a beautiful building and I spent a couple of years attending services there after a chance encounter with @feenix.bsky.social at Portland Pride a decade ago.

I can’t wait to check it out. I’ve recently began to revisit my teenage love of comics & comic book collecting thanks in part to my journey into Judaism & working on a project involving Kitty Pryde. And I think comics in general are still a relatively unappreciated medium deserving more attention.

This year has been beaten me up physically & financially & I’m not doing well on either front. But I gave $50 I don’t really have to give because I love local businesses & want to support them & comics have meant so much to me in my life. So any random person seeing this, please give if you can. 🙏
If my heart is a place, it’s @bkswpicspdx.bsky.social: one of the most innovative, inclusive, and wonderful comics shops—and communities—that I’ve had the privilege to be a part of.

DM me proof of donation, and I’ll match up to $500 TONIGHT!

Regardless of where you stand on people who are critical of the war in Gaza and care about the suffering of the Palestinians trapped there, this is what real, straight-up antisemitism looks like. This shit is the kind of hate-filled garbage that’ll eventually evolve into the Shoah 2.0 if we let it.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Got some comics sent out for grading during @rosecitycc.bsky.social and just got them back today— one for @brianmbendis.bsky.social’s signature on an epic issue, one for the beautiful cover by @margueritesauvage.bsky.social, and one because it’s an iconic issue and looked pretty good condition. 🤗

This looks like something to show up for and support
Portland City Council will consider an amendment next week to redirect $4.3 million from the city program that sweeps homeless encampments. If passed, the budget adjustment will instead invest $2 million in rent and food assistance, and support for immigrants and refugees.

Now that he’s won, I hope he can follow through and help improve the city to show progressive policies can work.
CONFIRMED!

Mayor Zohran Mamdani!!!!
November 5, 2025 at 2:27 AM
It definitely concerns me more how openly prevalent antisemitism is becoming in our country, & esp. our government, than a mayoral candidate who’s critical of the Israeli government’s treatment of Palestinians but spends Erev Yom Kippur at shul & is committed to making all NYC residents feel safe.
I’m heartbroken that my rabbinic colleagues are focused on Mamdani, while Jew-hatred that consumed the lives of synagogue goers has become official GOP — and government — policy.

Thanks to @theradr.bsky.social for encouraging me to submit this to The Forward.
Why are we so focused on Mamdani — not Nazi-inspired ideas proliferating on the right?
Jews are concerned about antisemitism amid Zohran Mamdani's mayoral run. They're concentrating on the wrong side of the political spectrum.

If our governor and other elected officials can’t protect us, we need to start protecting ourselves from this kind of terrorism. Communities need to be there for each other and keep one another safe.

Curious indeed…🤔
Fascinating how capital is willing to give a public stake as long as the government is absolutely insane and unpredictable.
Exclusive: Several quantum-computing companies are in talks to give the Commerce Department equity stakes in exchange for federal funding.

Thousands of people are gathered downtown for a No Kings rally against authoritarianism and government overreach. The event is part of a nationwide day of protest.

The second annual “No Kings” protests once again brings to mind the books of Samuel and Kings in the Tanakh, particularly the story of Saul, the first king of Israel.

Most people are just one medical emergency away from bankruptcy. That's not a secure economy. Everyone is living on the edge, underpaid by their bosses and overpaying their creditors.

This is fantastic and so interesting to me because I am seeing more and more of this: people craving a return to a pre-enshittified, pre-fascist, pre-government-watchlist internet.

Just think about how bad these people must be if they’re threatening to shoot first responders trying to do their job and provide medical attention to the injured. And if that’s how they treat EMS workers, how badly do you think they treat protesters and immigrants?
