Zissen zissen, y’all, and a good shabbos to boot!

Also hasn’t @wyden.senate.gov consistently voted to arm the genocidal regime in Israel? Not sure he’d love the position Nuremberg 2.0 would find him in…

True story: James Madison’s final public act was to warn the 1829 Virginia convention that if they allowed white men who didn’t own property to vote, that they’d all vote to tax rich slaveholders until they were forced to free the people they enslaved. Just in case you thought any of this was new.

But also, rich people on the Upper East Side tend not to avail themselves of the public schools that are freely available to them, preferring instead to send their kids to fancy private schools. There’s no reason to suspect they’d act any differently where childcare is concerned.

The Upper East Side has public schools, public parks, public streets, public buses and subways, public fire stations, and public libraries. Extremely silly to treat public daycare centers as categorically different. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/n...

Does he think Nuremberg 1.0 arose because the Nazi Party narrowly lost a midterm election?

These guys really believe in a public sector whose only competency — indeed whose only purpose — is violence

Josh Shapiro’s constant references to his “faith” are such Court Jew schtick. Faith is an essential quality in Christianity, not in Judaism, which encourages wrestling. Most Jewish scriptural references to faith are not about ours but the Holy One’s. Shapiro’s putting on a show for Christians.

Here’s @booker.senate.gov with Yoav Gallant, 14 months after the latter announced, “I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals and we act accordingly.” Booker is very offended by Hasan Piker.

Extremely grotesque watching unrepentant genocide denialists feign horror at a shock jock podcaster’s takes

Someone sent me this.

Let all who are hungry come and eat amen amen amen

April the first, beloveds. Don’t get got.

They’d rather the country be poorer and whiter than rich and diverse. Of course when the pie shrinks, the rich will demand the same amount and will tell you the crumbs you’re left with are because of immigrants or trans people or DEI. bsky.app/profile/apne...

Even the Israeli leaders admired and respected by liberal US Jews hold them in absolute contempt and take them for witless dupes. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

Mike Brown’s rotation of Mitch Robinson, Josh Hart, Deuce McBride, Jose Alvarado and Jalen Brunson legit looks like Gandalf, Frodo, Samwise, Pippin and Merry

Nowhere Trump is more despised than in his hometown

“I refuse to join tens of millions of people around the world rallying together in opposition to authoritarianism because the particular issue I care most about is merely welcome, as oppose to actively highlighted” is loser logic. Growing the opposition to fascism furthers all our causes.

The Left needs to figure out how to talk about Epstein with awareness of the three live wires that will always be present: 1. Keeping an emphasis on the misogyny and being sensitive to victims & survivors 2. Not fueling antisemitism 3. Not fueling right-wing conspiracies

The difference between these two is racism

Did… did congressional Democrats… hold out… and win?

The look of a man who stands no chance whatsoever of securing the nomination

Hulk smush!

Jesus, they're calling it "Operation Total Extermination."

Syracuse University is eliminating nine of its liberal arts majors, one of which is Jewish Studies. dailyorange.com/2026/03/suns... I sure hope the few Jewish people who got behind this attack on higher education in the name of "fighting campus antisemitism" are feeling proud of themselves.

Anyone else regularly misread his name like it rhymed with Kanye? www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Brand new mosaic work at the Church Ave. B/Q station elevator entrance are, imo, pretty magnificent

The NYPD preliminary expense budget for FY27 is $6.7 billion but really the budget all told will be over $11 billion. We are trying to get them to fund the public libraries at $635 million.

We take his incredible skill set for granted because we watch KAT on a daily basis, but it’s wild that the same player who leads the entire league in total rebounds (801) this season is a career 40% three-point shooter. Never been a big man like this dude.

What a remarkable complaint.

*gesturing generally*

For whatever it’s worth, capitalists are people who live off the passive income that flows from their wealth assets, as opposed to pay they earn for their work.

My appearance on Inside City Hall last night. ny1.com/nyc/all-boro...

Fetterman is doing tremendous damage to the reputation of the Big Oaf community. Big Oafs did not ask for this kind of toxic representation. Now we must lumber back into the shadows, hiding under bridges wearing our most somber JNCO jean shorts, drowning in both our sorrows & voluminous denim

It is plainly antisemitic when people charge Jews writ large with atrocities committed by the government/military of Israel. And!!! Jewish leaders here and abroad who’ve encouraged this conflation by denouncing all criticism of Israel as criticism of Jews writ large bear substantial blame for it.

Today I learned Christopher Guest was in the House of Lords

No report on the New York City Council Speaker’s opposition to taxing the rich should go without mentioning that her husband’s real estate development career places their household’s net worth probably in the high nine figures.

Schumer’s gonna support it, huh?

On March 13, Trump said Iran had been “totally defeated.” The next day, he doubled down, insisting “We have already destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capability.” And now? His brass says they need $200 billion to continue the death and carnage.

“At least we’re making other people suffer even more” is quite a fundamental political ethic

Before St. Patrick’s Day is out, I gotta recommend this beautiful album, which tells the story of the San Patricio brigade, a battalion of mostly Irish immigrants who in 1846 deserted the US army and joined the Mexican side of the Mexican-American war.🍀

War spending is domestic spending. It’s evil, violent, ecologically disastrous, inequitable, sometimes illegal, and always inflationary, of course, but that doesn’t mean it’s not domestic.

I get the appeal of “Every dollar we are spending bombing people in the Middle East is a dollar we are not spending in our communities back home,” but many of the dollars we spend bombing people in the Middle East we ARE spending back home, on the wages of the people who build the bombs!

Thank you Bari Weiss, Thomas Chatterton Williams, and Michael Powell for everything you did to win Leqaa's freedom in the name of free speech on campus

Between Adebayo’s 83 and Jordan’s Oscar, Newark is having a heck of a run

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Stoller-type antisemitism-denial basically seems like a dangerous overcorrection to the campaign of cynical accusations of antisemitism used by the pro-Nakba set to delegitimize criticism of Israeli policy and statecraft. I also notice that the Jews in my life who engage in it don’t spend time 1/2
