Friendly reminder that striking workers are asking you not to patronize ANY Starbucks store. If you're traveling this week, your airport definitely has other options. Zero reason to even think about crossing a picket line!

🏥🚨🏥 Healthcare workers: Patient’s rights are being violated. A lot of people are adverse to standing up to “authority,” but we have codes of ethics - each of our professions do. Rise up! 1/2

Another great topic for a phone call to our elected representatives in the House and the Senate.

This is a torture technique used in the military, to keep people cold and keep the lights on 24 hours a day to make them persistently and very uncomfortable. Republicans are doing this to little children in your name . Are you OK with that?

History is replete with evidence illustrating this point.

"The speech Trump is criticizing simply states the law: soldiers are not to follow unconstitutional or illegal orders. The accusation is unfounded and unnecessarily chills criticism of the President’s actions," Dean Chemerinsky told @usatoday.com https://bit.ly/4psY2aE #BerkeleyLaw

I went to a zoom training tonight for doing school patrols to protect parents & kids from ICE who are showing up at local schools. I cannot believe we live in a country where we as citizens have to patrol elementary schools. I cried. And was equally inspired by my neighbors.

A question for #JewSky: my small congregation is considering a community list-serv. I am seeking examples of good guidelines for a spiritual community's list-serv. If you know of some, please point me toward them? Todah rabah!

🚫 There is no "Semitic people." Just as there is no Hamitic people, or Japhetite people. Those groups were made up by white race "scientists" coopting biblical stories to explain why some people, in their worldview, were fit to be colonized and enslaved. STOP USING THIS LANGUAGE.

So great.
