@nicollewallace.bsky.social thank you for the segment with the clergy today. We are so careful to separate church and state, appropriately, that we forget the many ways the church has influenced policy in our country. We need to take back the narrative from the Christian Nationalists.

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com I agree with you. Where do we who want to speak plain language go to do that? What is our platform? Many of us, who are not in positions of power, can do it very eloquently. And we don’t have to worry about the next election: We are here. Tell us how we can be heard.

@khalilsayegh.bsky.social 's father died from lack of medical attention in December 2023 while taking shelter in a church in Gaza. If he can still retain his humanity--and insist upon the incalculable preciousness of all life--so can we

@katyturr, @cornellbecker and yummy @timmiller.bsky.social seemed flummoxed that young women put marriage and children at the end of their list of "how do you define success". As the mother of four twenty something women - Come on! Of course they do! This warrants WAY more discussion. @msnbc.com

If Bill Cassidy still has his medical license we all need to call for it to be revoked. Never has one M. D. done more harm.

Great seeing you on CNN @peterbeinart.bsky.social. People are starting to listen. Tragically late: but starting.

Many of you know my mom, and know that she has been ill. She passed peacefully this morning. I’m grateful I made it to Kentucky to be with her. She loved being a wife and mother but her favorite thing was being a grandma.

I just heard @tressiemcphd.bsky.social on MSNBC. I had chills. Her comments on our current political situation, the impact it has on our young people and what it will take to undo the damage being done, was profound. As the mother of four daughters in their twenties everything she said resonates.

Thank you, Harvard. And thank you for tremendous reporting, @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com

The Democrats/the Left should learn something from Kendrick Lamar's BRILLIANT performance. Love it or hate it, people are talking about it. And the history lessons in the performance, and the commentary ever since, have gone viral. It's made many people stop and think. That's how it's done!

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

We need to be kicked out of NATO. If our leaders are going to remain weak and self serving then more responsible leaders need to stand up to them.

🧵Shavua tov.

I go offline on Shabbat & spend part of the day in prayer, Torah study, & listening to sermons (JTS & IKAR). Today, I also read @peterbeinart.bsky.social's brilliant new book, also a kind of Torah Study.

It's concise yet expansive, honest, searing, & wholly necessary. Please read.

Listening to Trump’s press conference. He is begging terrorists to attack us. Publicly calling for ethnic cleansing. Evil.

Beyoncé finally won it!!!! We have every song on the album memorized - Philip even sings it in his sleep sometimes 😊- American Requiem is one of the greatest songs ever written, and very relevant for our times. Listen if you haven’t.
