Parents can you please block Google while your student is doing math homework, I have 5th graders who can't divide but somehow solve quadratic equations in the online math curriculum that automatically levels them, how do they do that it's a mystery

Symbols of Nazis, the Confederacy and the KKK are “potentially divisive”? No shit. They potentially divide people in two groups: people who tolerate hate symbols and people who don’t.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.
The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

Important to note that the country is filled with people who are shocked by the government's actions and who are saying, "I didn't think Trump was literally calling for X when he called for X," and there is no reason to believe that Trump's latest call is any different
The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

I did not recognize until I was older the intergenerational trauma that comes from growing up Jewish. It was an implicit thing in my family culture that we maintained a clear ledger of, when push came to shove, who could we trust and who would throw us to the wolves. 🧵
There is one lesson from the Holocaust: Despite community ties, despite charitable deeds and community leadership, neighbors will turn on you. Longtime friends will turn on you. The parents of your children's best friends, with whom you have vacationed and celebrated and mourned, will turn on you.

Nazi site that refuses to suspend the most heinous of accounts, including those of Israel’s most racist and genocidal ministers, claims the reason it has disabled its Hebrew translation feature is that Hebrew tweets are just too hate-filled.

Twitter disabled Hebrew machine translation because they didn't want people to easily see how horribly genocidal israeli posts are.

Last night I realized that a member of JewSky was banned a couple of weeks ago, and it seems like a good time to remind folks: some culture-specific wishes for others are better said in Hebrew or Yiddish
Every culture has idioms. No, they won't understand ours.

I will never forget the coworker, a mother of an autistic child, who asked me in all seriousness if I REALLY thought that being autistic was a different experience than being an autistic kid's parent. If I really thought she didn't fully understand her kid's experience.
I recently read a thread by @erinbiba.bsky.social about abled parents of disabled children being ableist. I don't know if you all understand the ways in which you fundamentally don't get your children's disability experiences. Not your fault, but also, know your place. 1/

Can you please not give my children any more justification to climb into my bed after school and behind leave a mixture of sand, dirt and detritus? The last thing I need is for them to hear that this is a Very Jewish Thing To Do
What's the halakha on leaving a little dirt under your pillow for the Dirt Man? Paging @miriamanzovin.bsky.social specifically on this one
Is leaving food out for the wee folk a violation of the mitzvah against food for the dead? IOW, does the life status of the intended dinner guest matter in Halloween?

Will say again. If this was London or Paris, it would not be tolerated. But we expect Ukrainians to put up with this horror every night. Indeed, we in the west are getting inured to it. It should enrage us.

Unfortunately, while I believe supporting Palestinian liberation is a moral imperative, it's not an effective tactic for combatting antisemitism. There are two main reasons for this. (1/7)

To reiterate: We apologize for the harm we caused when our account shared a video that contained an antisemitic conspiracy dogwhistle that falsely accused Jews of dual loyalty, then hid and/or ignored Jewish voices who rightfully called us out rather than immediately removing it.
