ive seen more articles this week about how the phrase “abolish ice” could hurt dems in the midterms than ive seen articles about how paramilitary death squads terrorizing cities will hurt republicans in the midterms

Boom! Trump broke the law We sued him yesterday We blocked his unlawful conduct today As a result, millions of American children, families, seniors, & disabled will receive the housing, job training, child care, food & emergency assistance they need & Congress granted them Defending CA ✅

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

You can walk from where the feds murdered Renee Good to where George Floyd called for his mother in about 15 minutes.

School is cancelled because Trump deployed federal agents that have made our schools unsafe

This one is resonating today. #Andor

Congress must reassert its Constitutional power to declare war and reign in this Administration. We must use every tool to hold this President accountable and to defend the principle that in the U.S., we do not let one man choose war.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

Cancel the LA Olympics, scrap the World Cup, the United States cannot be a trusted part of the international community so long as the White House operates this violently and with impunity.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

it is not the vilification of israel that endangers me as a jew, it is the impunity of israel

Of course, the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism will probably operate differently under Mamdani (whose goal is to keep Jewish New Yorkers safe) than it did under Adams (whose goal was to use concerns about antisemitism as a pretext to delegitimize criticism of Israel).

One of Mayor Mamdani's core political beliefs is that there's no contradiction between opposing antisemitism and supporting anti-Zionism. That's why he repealed Adams' executive orders mandating the IHRA definition and banning BDS but he's keeping the Mayor's Office to Combat Antisemitism.

tonight the government killed a story on cbs about the slave labor camp in a foreign country theyre illegally sending people to

This is huge news. This is “the lottery,” basically the only way for someone who isn’t related to a citizen or sponsored by an employer, who just wants to emigrate to the US, to get legal residency.

This is precisely how fascism works, by grabbing at and taking away a little more freedom whenever events lend themselves to it. Bit by bit you lose your rights, until you turn around and realize the road you're on has been long, and democracy is well behind you over the horizon.

Noem is using the Brown University shooter to end an entire visa program, but it should be noted that Pete Hegseth, just today, murdered more than twice as many people

This is transparently illegal, but the point is that doesn’t matter. Hospitals can’t afford to take a chance on a legal challenge when the alternative is closure. This will kill children. www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Says the guy who is personally responsible for measles outbreaks

Trans people's lives and futures are not up for debate. They are a beloved part of the Jewish community, and all communities. NCJW will always advocate for their ability to access the health care they need, when they need it.

Because, again, the federal fucking government is trying to stop companies from selling binders. Not because of any concerns about safety or possible harm, but specifically because trans men use them to mitigate dysphoria. They're saying this openly, explicitly.

Once again a reminder: We can have trans rights, bodily autonomy, gender nonconformity, and freedom of expression, or we can have none of these things. There’s no third option.

I am not aware of another Medicare/Medicaid condition of participation that bars a provider from using clinical judgment to provide a particular treatment to patients *not* paid for with federal dollars.

Another disaster. This one has actual harmful consequences for trans kids and their families.

There are many interpretations of Hanukkah, including resilience in the face of tyrannical empires attempting to destroy Jewish customs and community. Here's a tyrannical empire attempting to destroy Jewish customs and community:

This entire weekend

It’s very easy for Jews to go insular and insist that no one cares about our suffering and thus I must insist that we recognize that Ahmed al Ahmed not only cared, he put his life on the line and was shot twice for our safety.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia is free. every bit of cruelty, boasting, slander, and persecution was for absolutely fucking nothing.

This headline isn't just *misleading*, this is a deliberate attempt to create a false narrative about life-saving medical care. Absolutely fucking disgusting.

The unifying aim of all Trump pronouncements and actions is to trash the constitution and impose a white supremacist militarized autocracy by EO and truth social decree - the latest attack on naturalization and birthright citizenship is an ugly new escalation of that barbaric aim.

"a single person of this demographic may have committed a crime, therefore we must punish the entire demographic" is a policy response you may recognize from fascist governments dedicated to ethnic cleansing elsewhere.

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

The ADL has decided to treat fascists as allies and progressives as enemies. For a group that is tasked with protecting American Jews, that is a world historic fuck up. I will never forgive these people for their moral decrepitude.

As a Jew who works on stuff like human rights and international law, it is such a breath of fresh air to have one candidate willing to find a first principles, human rights-based answer on Israel and repeat it endlessly for a very, very long year, trusting that many Jews understand and agree

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

Mamdani reiterates his support for trans folks, his determination to fight "the scourge of antisemitism," and his pledge to fight Islamophobia--and throws a punch at the billionaire-funded campaign of lies against him. "In a time of political darkness, New York will be the light." This is a SPEECH.

May tonight mark the beginning of the end for sexual abusers, rapists and all those cowards who protect them. Get them out of politics. Get them out of positions of power. Put them behind bars where they belong.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

i'm just so embarrassed by the stunning failure of leadership and utter reactionary racism of the american jewish community.

Mamdani has won more votes than there are people in South Dakota.

Cuomo, once again being reminded, in a ruinous fashion, that no means no.

Fantastic. Prop 50 has been approved. Shane it has come to this but glad to see fire being fought with fire.

In honor of the dearly departed, a preview from Chapter Two ("The 9/11 Lobotomy") my forthcoming (hopefully in a year) book THE INFERNAL TRIANGLE: HOW AMERICA GOT THIS WAY.

How to best integrate AI into schools: 1) Take the money earmarked for AI 2) Spend it on universal free meals for kids 3) When asked where the AI is, just lie 4) Get forgiven when your test results blitzkrieg the hungry kids who are being taught by ChatGPT that ‘blitzkrieg’ is a kind of pastry

the adl is no longer, by its own definition, america’s preeminent jewish civil rights organization — because it’s no longer a civil rights organization at all

I generally don't see the point of electing someone in 2026 who hasn't repeated obstructed federal law enforcement. Realistically speaking, it is probably one of the best predictive qualifiers for what their future job is going to require lol.
