Well read and polite except on social media. Weather, photography, Jewish stuff. Black lives still matter. Not a Zionist.

I've long said: elect imperfect democrats and get a seat at the table to push them toward your preferred policy. Otherwise you get republicans, and not only will you lose your seat at the table - you'll lose the whole damn table.
Shocked at how many Dems on here think they shouldn't have to make any concessions, on any issue, ever, no matter where the voters stand.
If you truly believe the Dem platform should have zero flexibility and that any concession is a betrayal then you can't really complain when you lose.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.
Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

I know we don't feel like there's much to celebrate this July 4th. It's been a rough several years.
So I want to talk about how we're making history right now.

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism.
Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

At least 20 people lost their lives over the weekend as storms ravaged the country.
Meanwhile, Trump & DOGE have terminated 1,000 employees from NOAA — the agency that provides severe weather forecasting and warnings.
Make no mistake: these cuts put people's lives in danger.
