Thank you @adamserwer.bsky.social (and @chrislhayes.bsky.social too) for using gender studies to understand what’s going on. My students & I don’t get a lot of respect for the expertise we develop- and the yawning absence of this understanding that we come to notice in US public life. 😇

The small, mean world our leaders are building isn’t inevitable. It’s a choice to see immigration as a source of threat rather than possibility. That was part of the story of the lottery that I love, that the admin is trying now to kill. uncpress.org/978146967304...

This is unbelievable

A 35-year-old man was stabbed on Tuesday near the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, in what the police are investigating as a possible hate crime.

The phrase ‘Jewish lesbian’ just doesn’t mean what it used to. Sad!

Live theater: both parts of Angels in America, original staging, on my 2d? Anniversary with Anore. With my mother. Who kept saying ‘Louis, Louis, Louis….’ Because the morally challenged character reminded her of my father.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.

Facing potential FDA rollbacks, overseas telehealth providers are pledging uninterrupted access to abortion pills for Americans.

When my parents and their friends used to say to each other, ‘I hear that restaurant is pretty good,’ or ‘It seems like Spielberg really knocked it out of the park with this latest one,’ or any similar remark, what they meant was, I read the review in the Times

Glad to know about the DJT Institute of Peace n/c I was just reading the @louisepennyauthor.bsky.social mystery about a planned U.S. invasion of Canada, which cites “1984” and the doublethink we were all supposed to learn about in high school, and I wasn’t yet alarmed enough …..

Sex, Power and Impunity: Epstein’s Legacy in Historical Perspective msmagazine.com/2025/12/03/t...

Historian of the 1960s-2000s says: Nixon was constrained by not controlling Congress or (fully) the Court. By the momentum in the other direction from Black civil rights activists and their allies, north and south. It’s taken this long to put, basically, Strom Thurmond in the WH

Read these words. This is your country doing this: “Pregnant & postpartum women report starving in ICE custody, freezing cells, invasive procedures, miscarriages, their pleas for help going unanswered.” Thank you @rfkhumanrights.bsky.social @the-independent.com for shining a light on these horrors

This makes me feel extra Jewish. ……
