(1) As I see people denying the awful reality of Gaza, "fact checking" images of starving children for not being the perfect victims, it's hard to know what could possibly break through the wall of misinformation.

I’ve seen some lackluster political events, but the anti-#Mamdani protest at Union Square is channeling a new level of desperation. Basically just organizers and camera crews. Highlights include chants in support of DeSantis and moving to Florida that drew looks of revulsion from onlookers. 🙄🙄🙄

So the headline is more incindiary than I would have liked, but so glad the Daily News let me speak to this moment and why Mamdani’s election is good for NYC Jews. www.nydailynews.com/2025/07/01/m...

Alito’s dissent is infuriating, but worth reading. We rarely get an unvarnished, real-time look at the strategies used to rationalize human rights abuses. Legalistic gaslighting, self-inflated outrage at cherry-picked technicalities. We’ll see much more of this. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

Instagram giving a teachable moment in #AI sexism / dehumanization. It’s not just that the account recommendations were sexualized, it’s that the algorithm literally cropped out every woman’s head, but not the man’s.
I don’t follow any of these accounts, but this is how the app promotes them.

We gonna need a new language of unconstitutionality, because saying “blatantly unconstitutional” 20 times a week just isn’t cutting it anymore. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/n... #Columbia

#Apple once again promises privacy while delivering government surveillance. You can have the best encryption in the world, but if you sabotage it under government pressure, that software is meaningless. #AdvanceDataProtection #UK

We can’t fight Trump effectively if we let him wear us down with panic every time he threatens something awful. His plan to suspend payments was unhinged and blatantly unlawful. It’s been enjoined in the courts, and it’ll never happen. This is a marathon, and we have to conserve our energy.

I feel like this #ChicagoMarathon is just intentionally torturing us now. 😭 I got so excited when I saw this, but it’s just an email to tell me that I’ll get an email. #Running

Taking a break from politics, what’s something you’re truly thankful for this year?
For me, it’s health. After the pandemic, I never thought I’d get seriously back into running again, but this year I’m so damn grateful to everyone who helped me not run the NYC marathon again but set a new record.

Northern California is just about my favorite place on earth to run. Set out for a relaxed run this morning and accidentally did my fastest ever 10k. 😁🤯🙃 #running
