Our National Director, Jonathan Jacoby, is deeply concerned by the divisive and hyperbolic response from some corners of the American Jewish community to the election of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani.

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists. They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

Over 35 Million people in the US live below the federal poverty line

Things I hope Sefaria incorporates in the coming years: 1. Overlays breaking down which lines are of J, E, D, and P authorship 2. Audio companions so you can hear how the text is chanted in assorted tropes כן יהי רצון

Glad to see more people noting that, whatever divisions there may be on Palestine-Israel, the tradition of "sewer socialism" which Mamdani represents is actually a deeply Jewish tradition. forward.com/culture/7816...

The ADL is terrified that the Mamdani administration will continue to demonstrate that a genuine, tangible commitment to the well-being of Jews in America can coexist alongside staunch opposition to the policies of a country on the other side of the planet. It hurts their bottom line

🥴

I’m already feeling safer wearing a kippah on the street

serious note: they're gonna try 5x harder to sabotage the midterms after tonight and we're gonna have to organize on a literally historic scale to stop them

Zohran winning Upper West 👀

“Did you vote the way Kathy Hochul, Tish James, and Jerry Nadler said to vote, or the way Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, and Elon Musk said to vote?” should not be a difficult question for a Democratic Senator from New York to answer.

This would be a fine message from someone who is not the national leader of one of the political parties.

May the memory of Cheney’s crimes against democracy be a blessing upon us as we struggle to undo his evil work.

The route from Trump’s childhood home to Cuomo’s

The political reign of those who grew up in the red circle isn’t long for this world. Byron Brown: done in politics. Eric Adams: done in politics. Andrew Cuomo: done in politics. After tomorrow, there’s just the big one left. They want us to believe he’ll be in the White House forever. Nope.

Dreadful loss.

Chag Weeping At The Marathon Sameach to all whose practice it is to observe

Central to the Trump regime’s “warrior ethos” is being a gigantic coward

May Zohran win an outright majority, so Cuomo isn’t even able to blame his humiliating loss on Sliwa’s refusal to drop out.

Perhaps interesting to note that previously Podhoretz took a much more permissive attitude toward flagrant antisemitism on the right.

BREAKING: Both Satmar factions decide not to endorse a candidate for mayor and decry the vicious campaign against Mamdani that paints him as hostile to Jews. In letters to their community members, the Satmar leadership calls the attacks against Mamdani false and dangerous.

Stagflation The Fed Chair is describing stagflation but does not want to say the word.

When I face my next misfortune, embarrassment, or disgrace, I hope I remember Andrew Cuomo’s abject moral bottoming-out and endeavor to retain even a shred of dignity and self-respect.

This is the person. And yet all some of my colleagues’ energy these days goes into fighting a Brown Muslim who hangs out with Jews and wants to increase the NYC hate crime budget by 800%. 📣 WHITE SUPREMACY IS THE REAL ENEMY 📣 SOLIDARITY IS THE ONLY WAY HOME 💥COLLECTIVE LIBERATION OR BUST 💥

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

Be my successor!

A kosher wine shop called V’alcohol Yisrael

None of these people are part of the “American Left”?

Wild how comfortable goyish politicians are telling diverse working class New Yorkers “The reason we have to crush the guy who’s fighting to make life more affordable for you is the Jews” while claiming to be OPPONENTS of antisemitism.

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.” Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

"The UN report, unveiled Wednesday, says changes to welfare systems have made it harder to access benefits by tightening eligibility rules or imposing stricter conditions, contributing to the kind of economic precarity and alienation that drives people to the far right."

Polls are waiting to see how the majority of Democrat voters respond to Andrew Cuomo comparing them to Nazis ⏱️👀 @jccoltin.bsky.social

You never met a bigger critic than Bret Stephens of “safe spaces” and “trigger warnings” nor a bigger proponent of courageously engaging in argumentation and embracing discomfort. Until someone advocates for Palestinian human rights. Then he shrivels up into a whimpering, tearful, quaking mess.

What other than an accident of birth gives Elisha Wiesel any moral authority or public standing? He is a retired banker with an opinion. Nothing more.

The senior rabbi at one of the US’s most prominent congregations, in a now widely-circulated sermon, says that he regards the State of Israel as on a par with “God, Torah, mitzvot, or any other pillar of my faith." The false idol vibes here are incredibly severe. How can he or anyone not see that?

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

The ADL has yet to comment on this. But they did make the time for a five-tweet thread today about Zohran Mamdani appearing with an imam.

“Here’s a video where I’m both a king and an Air Force pilot, and my mission is to bomb the United States with diarrhea, and oh yeah now I’m demolishing the White House”

Quite a bookkeeping error there: $301.24 from previous reports now restated as $301,238.97.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Can report back from the Charlotte No Kings that "free Palestine" is now, if not the normie lib position, then at least fully accepted among the normie libs. Lots of signs and flags scattered about, no apparent drama at all.

The head of the ADL is a literal Nazi apologist.

Growth & change are crucial, but it also says something about a candidate if they had the courage to stick their neck out when it was hard. So in honor of @votealzubi.com's well-earned endorsement by Cambridge4Palestine, a thread of politicians who were actually Always Against This. (add your own!)

Alright, time for 10 Underappreciated D’Angelo Gems (that aren’t on his three studio LPs). Ready?

Old enough to remember when kids being anti-semitic was the basis for a federal government assault on higher education

44% of U.S. Jews said there is “a lot” of antisemitism on college and university campuses, but Jews under the age of 35, most of whom have attended college in the past decade, are more likely than Jews in general to say there is “not much” or “none at all.”

The Soulquarians simultaneously produced Voodoo, Mama’s Gun, and Like Water for Chocolate. There are stories of D’Angelo, Erykah and Common striking bargains about which groove would go on whose album. To have been a fly on the wall in those studio sessions, my goodness!!

I doubt anything will surpass it while I live and breathe
