“Ms Now” sounds like an impatient lady

Raptors PLEASE

Never in a million years did she think we would be here. An incredible reminder of the richness of the tapestry we call humanity.

It’s useful for people of my generation to be reminded that this wasn’t that long ago. Ruby Bridges isn’t just still alive—she’s only 71, not ancient!

OWNED has been reviewed at NYT, New Republic, FAIR, Times Literary Supplement, Irish Times, and more; I've discussed the themes on numerous podcasts, CNN, and CSPAN. The response is heartening—people want to know more about how Silicon Valley is controlling speech.

Alan Dershowitz is one of those claiming Epstein was not a pedophile because he pleaded guilty to one count of having sex for money with a 17-year-and-10-month-old person. "That’s not a pedophile." See this important response from Julia Brown, the brave reporter who broke the news on this

Our President, Jonathan Jacoby, spoke with @us.theguardian.com about our work protecting Jews and protecting democracy.

An Epstein cameo was not the end to the work week I was expecting… (spotted by @ryangrim.bsky.social 🙏🏽)

All I have to say about the Nuzzi profile is that at the end of it she jokes about how she destroyed her life. In fact she did not do that. She has a book, a magazine job, this lovely profile. People’s lives are being destroyed by this administration, however, including by -well, you know.

Over on Substack, I wrote about some of the background of my piece on Indiana University and how it ties into a German approach to fighting antisemitism that I covered a few years ago antisemitismdecoded.substack.com/p/behind-a-s...

You know, “are you surprised” gets thrown around a lot but: yes I am surprised by the lows people find for themselves

Why is there a graphic showing me the point difference in this Raptors game when the score is 4 to 2

I do feel like “Nazism scandal” is a better description of the issue than “texting scandal”

He said he had a bit of a Nazi streak and the president then offered him a different job

My daughter is 15, a child with a baby face whom I won’t even put in an Uber by herself. Just utterly disgusting from the same people who have spent years demonizing trans people as predators for daring even to exist. What are we even doing right now?

More (51%) non-Orthodox rabbinical students are queer or trans (LGBTQ) than NOT, according to a new survey. 12% are nonbinary (58% women, 30% men) 16% are Jews by choice 12% ID as a race other than white.

Listen I am sorry to be this way but I am going to take this opportunity to plug myself and more specifically my second book, Bad Jews (the JBC review says that to my credit, I am also self aware www.jewishbookcouncil.org/book/bad-jew...)

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

"don't worry, he's just into 15-year-olds" perhaps not as exculpatory as you think Also 15-year-olds are not "barely legal." They are minors.

Gave some recommendations for New York City, a city for which I am bad at giving recommendations open.substack.com/pub/emilycta...

Thank you to @phoebebovy.bsky.social for having me back on CJN’s The Jewish Angle to talk antisemitism and the American political right thecjn.ca/opinion/how-...

Well, this is quite a serious allegation. I do hope the BBC shows true impartiality and investigate whether or not some of its Board members are systemically biased. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Everything else aside: why is the vice president talking about ibuprofen. Is there nothing else going on.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

Here's the full Summers email, btw.

mike johnson about to reach hitherto unknown levels of haven't seen that

Just a pair of guys

…did Lil Kim just do the halftime show of this random Nets Raptors game

I have a lot of anxiety right now thinking about white supremacy and rising antisemitism and racism. Like if I allow myself to dwell, as I have done this evening, I find I get more and more terrified. I cannot comprehend what has become normalized once again in this country

Raptors I am sorry for my first quarter lack of faith

In September, the Trump administration conducted a historic deportation flight to Iran. We tracked down people deported on the plane. Some are in hiding, others have fled the country. Their story: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/11/w...

This is the march the Polish president chose to grace with his presence today.

Omg, one of the Dulles people movers crashed. Did someone place a curse on this town??

A must read by @winterjessica.bsky.social. Impeccable. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court DENIES former county clerk Kim Davis's request for the justices to take up her longshot bid to overturn 2015's Obergefell v. Hodges marriage equality decision. No justice even writes about the request.

Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

This pasta tariff madness threatens to cause a crisis in our home and beyond www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Okay they’d better win now.

Astonishing how hard this administration is working to keep people hungry. It's clear they are trying maximize public suffering, in hopes of getting people to blame Dems for that suffering. But it's transparently the White House working overtime to keep the suffering going! bsky.app/profile/cram...

Can my close personal friends, the Toronto Raptors, go back to back

“Did liberal feminism kill the” no next question

saying “swastikas are bad” is extremely low hanging fruit for the mayor of a city that’s home to a million jews

Okay.

“The administration is rapidly gutting a 2022 law intended to ensure that a sliver of the country’s most profitable corporations pay at least some federal income tax.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

In the name of protecting Jews, Jews have their funding cancelled, get kicked out of seminars, and are removed from leadership positions in Jewish Studies to be replaced by non-Jews.
