Most memorable Halloween visitor to my driveway last night was a pre-teen who moved candies from his stash to my nearly-empty basket saying, “Hey, your candy’s low, here’s some to give to kids.” Was he your offspring?

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

Bondi’s behavior today was disgustingly disrespectful and shameful. Who did she think she was talking to? She may not represent us, the American People.

Not gonna try to mask it…owing $10k more in national taxes brings up feelings about “contributing” to a multiple number of ongoing unlawful, unconstitutional and inhumane policies, actions, and words coming out of this administration. 😡

Yet again I ask: is today’s church shooting gonna be the final straw? If not, what and how and when and where will it be, the one slaughter that’s finally enough, the one that ends these unspeakable massacres unique to our country? Eh? Who or how many victims must there be? 😤

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Immigration raids don’t just break up families, they disrupt learning. Students miss school, struggle emotionally, and carry heavy fears into the classroom. Schools must be safe havens for immigrant families, so every child can learn without fear.
