If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.

Really enjoyed this conversation with @raushenbush.bsky.social. Check it out:

Great to talk to @thekenharbaughshow.bsky.social about how the Trump administration has tried to hijack religion and how we aren't letting them

NYT, Tuesday: everyone is simplifying and exaggerating Christian nationalism! NYT, Thursday: Trump administration seeks to impose state religion through official Christmas messages. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/25/a...

And… TRO granted! A sweet Christmas present for @imranahmed.bsky.social, @counterhate.com--& for their mission of fighting antisemitism & protecting kids online. Also nice for our all-star legal team. A lump of coal in the stockings of authoritarians & the merchants of disinformation

People treating human beings like Amazon packages is why we need a new moral awakening, as @raushenbush.bsky.social and I expanded upon @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/we-need-a-...

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan… * Vehicle traffic: -11% * Foot traffic: +3.4% * Storefront vacancy: -0.9% * Pollution: -22% * Revenue for mass transit: $548M So YES this has been a huge success.

"Imam Fouad’s death is not an isolated tragedy, it is the predictable outcome of a violent detention system that continues to cage people for profit and punishment."

Like a Trump steak or a Trump university or a Trump casino in Atlantic City - only stupider

What happened to Nicki Minaj - I must have missed something

I wish the Times would reflect on the way they have aided him - whether intentionally or not - by normalizing actions that should never have been normalizing. Not ring willing to call lies "lies" was one of the more clear offenses.

"A moral reawakening would compel us to look honestly at what we are doing to immigrants—and why," write President of @interfaithalliance.org, @raushenbush.bsky.social and @ianbassin.bsky.social for the @thebulwark.com. Read their piece: https://www.thebulwark.com/p/we-need-a-new-great-awakening

W @interfaithalliance.org we just launched a six-figure ad buy contrasting the holiday spirit with what ICE is doing to our neighbors. @raushenbush.bsky.social and I on why and the need for a new Great Awakening to turn away from the hate all around us. www.thebulwark.com/p/we-need-a-...

This. A thousand times this. "His law is love and His gospel is peace." From my friends @interfaithalliance.org. #LovenotICE www.youtube.com/watch?v=eALK...

Choose love, not ICE. ❤️ NEW from Reverend @raushenbush.bsky.social & @protectdemocracy.org's @ianbassin.bsky.social in @thebulwark.com:

America has been here before. And we have always renewed ourselves. Can we do it this this? @raushenbush.bsky.social and @ianbassin.bsky.social on a new Great Awakening:

“Many Americans feel that the promise of the nation is slipping beyond reach, while others feel unseen, unheard, or expendable. This is not merely a political crisis. It is a spiritual one.” By @raushenbush.bsky.social @ianbassin.bsky.social for @thebulwark.com open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Faith communities have been key to the struggle between democracy and authoritarianism. This holiday season, we all have a chance to support their efforts. Watch and share this powerful message with our partners @interfaithalliance.org calling on people of all backgrounds to choose LoveNotICE.org

He’s gotta go.

Hegseth just held his #Christmas Worship Service at the Pentagon. Here's my report featuring remarks by Franklin Graham, who praised a "God of War" & read a Bible passage often used to justify genocide: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/at-pentago...

In addition to my report at A Public Witness about all the preachers so far at monthly Pentagon prayer services, I also spoke with @raushenbush.bsky.social about the services on the @interfaithalliance.org & @rns.org podcast State of Belief: www.interfaithalliance.org/post/the-war... 7/7

Remarkable kindness and empathy from the Jewish community of Bondi and abroad in light of this horrific anti-semitic shooting. Instead of pouring fuel on the fire and joining hatemongers to condemn all Muslims, they are openly and loudly rejecting it. We stand in solidarity against hate and terror.

Enjoyed talking with @raushenbush.bsky.social for 'State of Belief' (a great podcast from @interfaithalliance.org & @rns.org). We talked about Pete Hegseth's prayer services at the Pentagon, how Christian Nationalists misuse the Bible, & more. Check it out: www.interfaithalliance.org/post/the-war...

13 years ago today.

All I can say this morning is look for the helpers, like Ahmed. “Seven News reported the bystander was a 43-year-old fruit shop owner from the Sutherland Shire named Ahmed.”

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

No one should have to fear for their life while practicing their Judaism. We are incredibly upset and deeply concerned by the news of the deadly attack on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, directly targeting the Jewish community.

Devastated by the news out of Australia. My love to all my Jewish family, friends and colleagues. Heartbreaking and infuriating

Breaking News: The Trump administration is sharing all air travelers’ names with ICE officials to find people with deportation orders.

MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

So the president can just start a war now?

"Self-terrorism means dropping one’s guard, provoking others inside and outside one’s own country, waiting for the act of terror, and then exploiting it"

Sounds like an investigation is warranted.

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors. New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

"Interfaith Alliance is grateful and proud of the role that diverse faith communities have played in the larger pro-democracy movement—mobilizing across the U.S. to uphold civil rights, democratic institutions and our core freedoms as Americans." -Rev. @raushenbush.bsky.social @democracyforward.org

As a parent of two healthy kids I just want to say VACCINATE YOUR KIDS, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

This is New York, friends.

This is an abomination.
