The mayor-elect's decision not to point out the identity of the hero who saved Jewish lives in Sydney today was a leap of faith that we Jews would do so, and we will:

Ahmed al Ahmed shone his light in the darkness. May he be quickly and fully healed.

To save one life is to save the world.

Should we pay people to club police and poop on the floor while they’re trying to overthrow the government? You decide

Rümeysa Öztürk should never have been ripped away from our Somerville community.

I'm glad that she'll be able to continue her research, teaching, & service to our district while her case plays out.

The Trump Administration must stop targeting her & restore her visa without delay.
A federal judge has allowed a Tufts University student from Turkey to resume research and teaching while she deals with the consequences of having her visa revoked by the Trump administration, leading to six weeks of detention.
Turkish student who criticized Israel can resume research at Tufts after visa revoked, judge rules
The arrest of Rümeysa Öztürk was among the first as the Trump administration began targeting foreign-born students and activists involved in pro-Palestinian advocacy.

It’s been two weeks since ICE took Yuanxin Zheng from his father. He is six years old. He’s still not home. This has to end.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety.

My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Happy Thanksgiving, Virginia! 🦃

I was so grateful to spend yesterday with my family preparing Thanksgiving meals with The Giving Heart in Richmond.

From my family to yours, we’re wishing all Virginians a joyous, safe, and restful Thanksgiving.

"things happen"? Is it wrong to wish that some "thing" might happen to him?

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk?

But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession.

But that's just me

Whether it’s Barack Obama, appearing in a tan suit or Donald Trump appearing 1700 times in Jeffrey Epstein‘s emails, both presidents made some highly controversial appearances.

@jonathanfreedland.bsky.social I've self published a book and quoted you extensively at one point in a chapter on Israel (After the Dinah Report came out). I'm a big fan. I'd be happy to send you a copy if you'd like. Send it c/o Guardian? Have fun in DC and NYC and say hi to HRC!

Did you witness anybody snapping their fingers or calling for trigger warnings at a No Kings rally? CBS News wants to hear your story.

White supremacy is when Republican men and women in their 20s & 30s praising Hitler, genocide, and rape are “just kids”—but 18-year-old Michael Brown was no angel, 17-year-old Trayvon Martin was a thug, 16-year-old Kalief Browder was a criminal, and 12-year-old Tamir Rice should’ve known better.😐
