JVP did this, too. JVP appropriated the poppy anemone, national flower of Israel, for their symbol 😖

Pulled up the transcript from Heather Cox Richardson. Here's one of the places where she mentions Schumer. Basically, it's a hard job & not many people can do it better (shoutout to Pelosi) so HCR agrees with you and not Sarah!

Same friend knows that I love a spreadsheet so she sent this outline of the best case scenario next steps.

Obsession over AIPAC is bigger than any distraction the Administration is throwing at us 😒

This exchange posted 11/5/25 in a mostly Boomer activist Signal chat where NONE of us live in/near New York 🤦🏻

It's self serving. MTG's kids are impacted.

Reason♾️not to trust 50501.

They couldn't bother to thank Nancy Pelosi for years of leadership & supporting her constituents before going low.

👏🏻Best wishes in retirement - it's going to be a really interesting biography😉

Shocked that Heather Cox Richardson's daily email was only about Mamdani😒 Waiting to see if she writes about the Blue wave across the country tonight.

Odd that he thanks Yemeni bodega owners but he never made any statements on the famine in Yemen based on quick search news.un.org/en/story/202...

This is how you know that he hasn't spent too much time in DC.

In DC we'd say "we have 'half' smoked* these fools 🤣

*Half Smoke probably trademarked by Ben's Chili Bowl🤷🏻‍♀️

From tonight's email from NAACP. Mentioned Prop 50, wins in VA, NJ and MI.

Crickets on the mayor's race in NYC as it should be!

Some people think that Reefer is named after the Rif Mountains in Morocco. I always told my American visitors to be very careful travelling in the area so they didn't end up in jail. It may not be the real source of the term, but it was plentiful in the area😅

Please explain more.

Pete Buttigieg congratulated two women he likely worked with while Secretary of Transportation. Mentioning both in the same post is fine IMO because they were in the same freshman class and housemates so I don't think they would mind being in the same post either.

This is on the NYC voters (and the media). Adrienne Adams' experience made her a serious competitor in the Democratic primary.

Ranked choice voting in Minneapolis so this news was recently posted. When running against a strong candidate the voters rejected the DSA.

Also, St. Paul elected first woman & first American Hmong as mayor!

Thomas Jefferson High School is ranked #5 in the United States.

These are our future leaders🤦🏻

My conservative Jewish dad who was a kid during WWII watches RW media & studied military history. He'll give anyone who will listen an earful about why this isn't a genocide & he'll include the receipts.

From today's Tangle post re the Armenian genocide. I have Armenian friends & words matter😢

Rabbi Joachim Prinz was the rabbi who spoke. His pulpit was in Newark and he was an organizer of the March.

Amazing evening but didn't get the chance to pass along your greeting. Pics from meet & greet.

This interview on Fox may not be in your feed. It's more casual than the standard podcasts cuz the two women have mutual friends.

This chart from 2000 when I was living in Morocco. I'm in the "other" category.

Amazigh has been an official language since 2011. There was a nascent movement of indigenous rights for many years but I only knew a few people with one Arab and one Amazigh parent (including the current King).

Just got this email - Jill Stein in DC tomorrow. 🙄

Grand opening at the former Carnegie Institute in Washington DC last night.

Location is 16th Street, NW one mile due north of the White House and across the street from the Scientologists.

Snip from Ask A Jew substack dated Oct 14 2025. Even after so long in captivity they maintained their sense of humor.
