We use it in conjunction with this Reform Haggadah that’s beautiful, feminist, and social justice-oriented (as well as full of poetry and wisdom). Our Seder is elaborate, what can I say

We like the HIAS Haggadah and have used it for a few years now - seems more relevant than ever this year hias.org/passover-res...

This one is pretty good re modern social justice themes, and it’s not very long, except it glosses over the traditional storytelling component, so it’s not well suited to Pesach newbies (or kids). www.amazon.com/Gates-Freedo...

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a great Haggadah? Maybe something printed in the last few years that does a good job engaging with contemporary themes and the original texts in serious ways?

Feels like a good time to reup this piece I published with Janet Haven in Foreign Policy the week before the 2024 election datasociety.net/wp-content/u...

My goodness.

🧵 Three quick things on Hegseth v. Dario/Anthropic: First, as is the case with every foreign leader Trump dresses down, this episode will secure Dario Amodei as a favorite of regular people and will lead to a surge in mainstream popularity for Anthropic.

One thing each of us has the power to do to slow the backslide is determine what niches of society we have some influence over. Ask: What kinds of people who share some overlapping characteristics/experiences with me are naturally inclined to trust or even follow me? Start organizing there.

JUST IN: Defense secretary Pete Hegseth said the Pentagon also would designate the San Francisco-based startup a supply-chain risk for national security.

The irony is stark: a private AI company is holding the line on guardrails against mass surveillance and autonomous weapons—while the federal government pushes to remove them. After revoking Biden's AI safety policies, the Trump administration is now pressuring Anthropic to abandon its own.

I spoke with @bloomberg.com about the designation of Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" by the Trump Administration www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCQ0...

Part of the theory of the AI Bill of Rights was that the purchasing power of the US gov was so great that by refusing to buy AI from firms that didn’t protect rights, we could ultimately help make a safer AI market. The Trump ppl will *only* buy AI from firms that let them use it to violate rights!

VERY worth your time: two of my activist role models - @eladn.bsky.social + @andreapitzer.bsky.social - had a candid and thorough conversation on the intersecting moral, political, and humanitarian crises of US concentration camps. You'll hear them say it's not too late to turn it around. Listen!

Very sad news. What a legacy. May her memory be a blessing.

If U.S. elections were truly “rigged,” we’d have the evidence by now. Around the world, when leaders actually try to tilt the vote, citizens fight back with watchdog groups, rapid fact-checking, independent vote counts and huge turnout. buff.ly/POJEyPE #polisky

It's true that other social media platforms have "system not a bug" features that encourage bigotry but also I had people on here telling me Hitler had a point earlier this week because I wrote a piece saying that Jews should fight antisemitism by building solidarity and investing in media literacy

I will never get over how much of a child he is. All those people giving him gold bricks and such, and all he wants is a mockup of himself on the front page of a NY newspaper.

At the end of the day, Andrea, is this not the most human thing about the man

from 2017 but as relevant as ever politicalresearch.org/2017/06/29/s... once you see how antisemitism bubbles under the surface of white supremacy when it targets people of color, you don't get fooled into thinking you can be on the safe side of it

I am unfamiliar with Ami Fields-Meyer but this is a very good thread

Great thread and far more thoughtful than my post that started it off lol

Super excited to meet @fieldsmeyer.com the writer of "On Courage: How to Be a Dissident in an Age of Fear," We had a really thoughtful conversation that left me deeply inspired. I know we don't always do well with promotion on here. But writing a book is so hard, consider giving a like and/or repost

This was an excellent talk.

Much of this resonates with discussions in the Indian American political sphere where there are similar splits, concerns, and "how could you" arguments.

Saw him working hard last night when I was at dinner at Le comptoir du relais. Now I understand what the fuss was about!

Very good thread.

Read the whole thread, but I found this interesting, even if I am not sure I agree with the formulation. Rather, my argument would be that, post WW II, Jews became "white," but it was always contingent. And that claim to whiteness is now eroding. Very quickly.

Sensible point which in the UK earned Diane Abbott a torrent of violent abuse.

🧵 It would be easy to say something cynical/clever about right wing Jews failing to see that the movement that spurned Somalians, trans people, immigrants would eventually turn on them, but more than anything I find the "how could you" narrative of right wing Jews deeply sad and even tragic. 1/??

I’ll be watching carefully and paying attention close attention to who on the left engages with this honesty and calls it what it is, and who does not. This is one of those very helpful bellwethers for movements and coalitions. Pay attention.

bigotry is a libidinal pleasure for a lot of people!

This whole political moment is a syllabus in "First They Came for The" studies.

Dozens of Palestinian press workers report being beaten, starved, sexually abused and tortured while detained in Israeli prisons. The scale of cruelty "has increased and intensified" since the start of the genocide, says Sara Qudah with @pressfreedom.bsky.social.

It's fun to be a collector. I like to collect books, records, action figures, movies, and just now I sat in silence for 5 minutes because I forgot one of the things I was stressed about. Gotta get 'em all.

13 y/o Gustavo: “I have friends, school, and family here in the US,” he said of his home in San Antonio. “To this day, I don’t know what we did wrong to be detained.” He ended with a plea, “I feel like I’ll never get out of here. I just ask that you don’t forget about us.”

A new phenomenon in American politics: MAGA concentration camp NIMBYism GOP senators see the concentration camps in their states as a political liability and, one by one, are “thanking” Noem for putting the monstrosities elsewhere Blackburn post below. And Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker 👇

Talked to friends in Ukraine last night to sing their praises for four years of unbelievably difficult resistance.
