Georgia’s House unanimously passed enshrining access to in vitro fertilization (IVF) into state law! #gapol
Georgia Bill would establish in vitro fertilization as legal right
House Bill 428 would prevent future restrictions on IVF in Georgia and preserve access to the procedure as it is widely practiced today.

Wearing orange in the GA Legislature as we mourn w/ the Bibas family & our Jewish community. While the precious Bibas babies returned to Israel in coffins, their mother is missing. Hamas is responsible and must be eradicated from our world - they’re humans without humanity. #WhereIsShiri

Nothing will change as a result of trainings. Expel the people who engage in mob tactics and prosecute them under the law where applicable. Federal funding should be linked to incentivize this.

The below is just lawyers collecting fees for CYA exercises.
In response to a Title VI complaint filed against Rutgers, alleging nearly 300 antisemitic incidents and nearly 150 anti-Arab and anti-Muslim incidents since the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks, the New Jersey public university agreed to implement a series of trainings to improve the campus climate.

I look forward to seeing which AntiZionist antisemites wish Jews a Happy Hanukkah, not realizing it’s the original Zionist holiday.

Last night, the Consulate General of India hosted a beautiful Hanukkah celebration! It was heartwarming to be with the Consul General of Israel, Mayor Paul of Sandy Springs, members of the Indian-American community, and the American Jewish Committee. Grateful for an inspiring evening!

Leftist narratives undermined by this data:

-Youth is more left wing, will push country left as they become dominant voting group

-When people who don't vote are convinced to (which is more youth than elderly), they vote left
Trump most popular with under-30s, least popular with seniors.

We're in a new world.

Hard to overstate the miscalculation from Hamas's leader Sinwar. He invaded Israel in the hopes of dragging his allies into the war.

Two years later he's dead, Hezbollah leadership is dead, Hezbollah can't meaningfully intervene in Syria, and Iran's client fled Syria.

Always wonderful to hear from my friend DA Sherry Boston and to be in community with my amazing sisters from @jdwsatl.bsky.social 🩵
It was an honor to be in conversation with Sherry Boston, DeKalb County District Attorney last night! As Jewish women, we are particularly grateful that DA Boston champions reproductive freedom and the protection of women and doctors. Great to have @epanitch.bsky.social in attendance, too.

Why are the pod bros platforming a guy who literally brought on a man from a U.S. designated terrorist group on his show?

You know, Houthis.

The terrorist group whose motto includes "Death to America, Death to Israel, A curse upon the Jews"

Contrary to the NY Times, Rabbi Zvi Kogan did not just “disappear” in Dubai. He was abducted and murdered because he was a Jew.

The media should call the kidnapping and killing of Rabbi Kogan exactly what it is: an act of antisemitic terror.

“I won’t commit a vote for an election two years from now and without knowing who else is running, but [Ossoff] should be glad the election isn’t tomorrow," @epanitch.bsky.social said when asked how she thinks Jon Ossoff's votes will impact his support among Jewish voters in the 2026 election.
