Once Zohran was on a panel about funding settler colonialism. His dad was there and I started talking to him. I said, You must be proud of your son. He said, I don’t know, let’s see what he says tonight.

it’s the moment, when immediately after tackling the shooter, Ahmed El Ahmad has the presence of mind to lay the gun down next to a tree, he goes from being not only someone who is brave, to mentshlichkeit, the v expression of humanity and decency

I had a professor of Jewish Studies at UChicago who made the administration very angry because every year he made a proposal for the university to create an on-campus memorial to the worldwide victims of the UChicago economics department.

It’s not merely that ADL is pro-Israel; it reflects real class experience. That is, if yr rich “antisemtism” means snubbing at an elite college for being a Zionist; if yr working class it looks like getting chased by Nazis at school or on the street. Ofc only one of these is antisemitism

Not that real life events exist to prove the literature correct, but Brad Lander’s self-effacing untermenschen support for Zohran against the triple moloch of Cuomo, capital & Zionism is a living exemplar of Boyarin & Butler’s theories of gender, solidarity & Jewish diasporism

If you believe all human beings are created b’tzelem Elohim, in God’s image, then you must speak up now against the daily atrocities in Gaza.

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.

Haaretz's Hagar Shezaf reports that settlers took over the West Bank Palestinian village of Mu'arajat and expelled its population, numbered in the hundreds. This is the largest ethnic cleansing to occur in the West Bank since 1967.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Not having categories that capture our full identities is something that should be familiar to many Jews.
Mamdani was born in Uganda, a fact that Trump and his allies are now using incessantly to attack him. Meanwhile, the NYT has a piece today going after him for having checked "Black or African American" alongside "Asian" in his college application when he was a senior in HS.

His response:

Every non-Orthodox Jewish denomination in the US will gladly accept trans converts, but I suppose if your only priority in converting is to have your Jewish identity accepted by the Israeli rabbinate without any questions...

This is a Hall of Fame reader comment on a very reactionary op-ed about Zohran Mamdani's victory that was published in my local paper today.

fascinated by the ontology in which certain frames in video games are fake and others real
As a gamer(TM), we already hated things like this. AI has gotten so embedded in computing that our GPUs make FAKE frames, just so they can say their new cards are better.

Spare a thought for Jessica Ramos, who threw out her principles & alliances for a spot in the Cuomo administration, and today got 0.39% and is watching a likely Mamdani primary win.
