BREAKING: The pregnant woman, Anabella Gyasi, and her child who have been detained at Dulles after having come here for a specialist's medical appointment for her son will not get any treatment here. They are set to return home to Ghana today, per developments in and after court today.

"They" are human beings. As Jews, we know all too well where government propaganda like this leads. This is white supremacist extremism that inevitably fuels violence.

New at The Watch: Here's the latest in my "You Can't Hide Your Lying ICE" series on DHS lies about abuses by its immigration officers.

For now the unofficial vote.gov is just a pre-build that isn’t accessible but if and when it is deployed as part of the totally unconstitutional White House takeover of elections, it would decimate the wall Congress put up between the executive branch and voter data.

This is seriously fucked. Like for starters they’re using commercial web analytics that are in no way in line with federal privacy disclosure requirements…

They’re turning the entire federal internet apparatus into a galaxy of phishing sites that are controlled by the president and do not adhere to any federal privacy or disclosure rules.

If you read/boost only one thing today, let it be this. Yeah, when have I said that on here. Never.

- Haavara was good - Israel wasn't founded by Nazis in any meaningful sense - Nazis weren't Zionists - Jews didn't betray Palestinians who welcomed them because that never happened - Palestinian Jews as an ethnic group who were/are persecuted alongside Palestinian non-Jews did/do not exist ...

i have not received a response.

new from @tusk81.bsky.social: Children are paying the price for this administration's mass deportation agenda. A new report estimates that nearly 147,000 U.S. citizen children have already seen a parent detained since the start of Trump's 2nd term. More than 22,000 have seen BOTH parents detained.

So far in FY2026, immigration courts granted asylum in under 10% of cases, the lowest rate ever recorded. Meanwhile, the same court system is carrying a backlog of 3.3 million pending cases.

The UN is expected to add the Israel Prison Service to its list of conflict-related sexual violence perpetrators, along with Hamas. www.ynetnews.com/article/s1yr... This is important. Both of these bodies have committed sexual violence, and we need to be able to acknowledge that.

The downside of having a good singing voice and a good ear is that no matter how many times I tell people that I can't read treble clef without sitting down and painstakingly plunking out the notes on a keyboard (and then memorizing what I hear), they either don't believe me or immediately forget.

I'm from Milwaukee. Beer tastes like piss. Yes, even that beer. And that one.

Nearly half of young American Jews are "functionally anti-Zionist," in that they support a binational state rather than a state that prioritizes maintaining a Jewish voting majority. Half of non-Orthodox Jews in the US under 35 — 51% — support a binational state.

They could do nothing but watch as paramilitary fighters shot and killed their loved ones. They were held captive and endured beatings. Their phones, shoes and life savings were stolen. www.reuters.com/world/africa...

As everyone is pointing out, saying this goes unnoticed says a lot about who you consider to be reliable reporters of fact.

This is so shortsighted. Groups like this think that if they defeat Mamdani, they can defeat anti-Zionism. But anti-Israel politics are so dominant among American youth that without Mamdani, anti-Israel politics could be claimed by someone actually antisemitic. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Another reminder: if there exists *any* class of people who don't have due process rights, then *nobody* actually has due process rights because the government can always just say you're in that class.

A friend of mine who was TA’ing for an AmLit course found a copy of Moby Dick a student had left behind. It had only one marginal annotation, around page 100, that simply said “whale is important.”

This remains a very funny hill to die on for me Like yes, you should confirm your citation says the thing you’re citing it for! It’s bad if your whole field is fucking up a common citation! I get yelled at by a judge and potentially sanctioned if I do this

This new poll of American Jews finds 1 in 4 American Jews openly oppose Zionism, if you define Zionism as requiring a Jewish voting majority nation-state. The same number of American Jews voted Trump. Which group has representation in major American Jewish organizations, and which does not?

What a man. A dragon-man.

I am losing my shit that all my Jewish mutuals are getting assigned Churchsonas and I somehow got hit with "too Jewish to rate":

In chemistry, a supersaturated solution is one where you've kept adding a solute to a liquid beyond where the liquid can dissolve everything. All it takes is a nucleation site / seed crystal for the solution to rapidly (sometimes violently) crystalize. Unrelatedly, the US has more guns than people.

This is the first day in a world without CBS News Radio, which had been broadcasting since 1927. Through eighteen presidential administrations, nine popes, five British monarchs, and numerous wars. Nearly 100 years of journalism, gone like that. Bari Weiss killed it.

Building on this, malice existing is not a surprise. But the ways malice is expressed and constrained dictate the kind of society you're living in. A passive aggressive comment vs. overtly aggressive one; an aggressive comment vs. a thrown hand. The actions people feel comfortable with matter.

“Justice, justice shall you pursue.” Justice is not passive in Jewish tradition — it is something we actively chase, defend, and build together. — Deut. 16:20

It is incredibly easy to view the death penalty as "do evil people deserve to live." But that is not the death penalty question. The death penalty question is: "Can we trust the state to sentence people to die." We cannot.

One reason I hate death penalty cases is that capital punishment is incredibly stupid and irrational. It's cruel, expensive, and serves no deterrent effect. It's rarely imposed, except against a tiny minority of unlucky defendants—and in those cases, racism almost always plays a role. Just end it.

This isn't in the opinion section; this is in the news.
