To anyone who has been following antisemitism in Australia, the terror attack in Sydney is unsurprising.

These days, being an Americans means wondering when the day will come when it will be you or one of your loved ones caught in one of these shootings.

A+ trolling from Zelenskyy

What’s happening in Sudan is a real, generational crime against humanity. “At least” 60,000 murdered. I know aid workers that said their networks of contacts were almost entirely killed off.

I want to share a hopeful moment with you : remember that Kyiv coffee place that Russia hit 6 times - and they restored it all these 6 times ? Today I had a coffee there✨☕️

Reciting poetry that I wrote in Yiddish and about Yiddish in the only country in the world where #Yiddish is an official language. So grateful for this opportunity to share my work in Sweden.

Since writing is an internal art, finding ways to make a poet’s residency interactive can be challenging. A few weeks ago, I came up with an idea: to invite library members to translate my poems into Swedish. We made a packet, and invited people to read their translations at my upcoming events.

I am impressed by how many Jewish holidays that woman at UCL managed to cram into one blood libel: pancakes cooked with blood of gentiles for feast of tabernacles. It was like one of those Jewish food supermarket aisles with latkes, hamentashen and yortsayt candles…

What is in large part so demoralizing about this is not just how inappropriately men in positions of power behave but how profoundly stupid these men often are. This idiot was the president of Harvard.

I don’t know if forgotten is the word I would choose here. They were more just completely ignored… www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/e...

I really enjoyed reading this review. I wish it had mentioned Krasznahorkai's translators. George Szirtes translated The Melancholy of Resistance. I translated Herscht 07769, the book under review here. Even a simple byline at the top. 'Translated by...' It's important.+

An article in Swedish about my residency here in Gothenburg, along with information on an event later in the month. goteborg.se/wps/portal/e...

Have all the billionaires left New York yet?

First impression of Gothenburg: Everyone knows they are going to be wet, and they have accepted that.

This is how the ostensibly philosemitic wing of the party is going to reconcile itself with the openly antisemitic wing. “We tried to help you, we really did, but you wouldn’t let us.”

There's extensive evidence that just giving poor people money is very effective public policy. The moral panic over what ppl buy with SNAP is about sadism and entitlement. the wealthy enjoy policing and tormenting those they see as their inferiors. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/republican...

Seven years ago today, 11 Jewish people were murdered at the Tree of Life Congregation, a synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In their names, we will continue to stand up against hate, bigotry and the rise in antisemitism taking place around the country. May their memories be for a blessing.

ALL 50 STATES HAVE PARTICIPATED IN #NOKINGS My heart is VERY happy. This is JUST the beginning of our peaceful protests against the Authoritarian-In-Charge!

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

I have some bad news for Cuomo about why New York City exists.

I feel kind of like I missed out on Diane Keaton because growing up as a millennial (sorry), it was hard to move past her support for Woody Allen. It's frustrating that men take fun women away from us in that way too...

So Bad Bunny playing the Super Bowl is bad, but bankrolling the president of Argentina's narcissistic rock concert is okay?!?! Both are in Spanish!

No Kings. Yes Frogs. Ribbit.

We’re clearly in a cultural moment when any attempt to make public figures who committed sexual violence pay a price for their crimes has disappeared. When Woody Allen dies, the obituaries will all talk about “Annie Hall,” and the abuse will appear in an aside at the end of the article, if at all.

a friend of mine in antifa told me that antifa's headquarters is SHEIN and if the company fell the whole network would fall

Susan Abulhawa has also called Zelenskyy a "Nazi promoting zionist" and "far more dangerous than Putin." I always cringe when I see people share anything from her. I find it especially frustrating when I see people characterize any criticism of her as anti-Palestinian censorship.

This quote is very obviously fake, has been going around for months, and now is being touted as real with MEMO's approval.

It's hard not to wonder how much money went into the Sumud Flotilla, which had no chance whatsoever of success, money which could have gone to organizations like @wck.org, who are actually on the ground successfully making 200,000 meals a day for Gazans. donate.wck.org/give/525879/...

Dani Miran, father of hostage Omri Miran, bottom left… who said recently “The thought that as a result of the entry into Gaza and the bombings in Gaza you might return in a coffin or a black bag is what keeps me awake at night. Forgive me, son."💔

Finally posting some updates on my website. I have updates! I just haven't been posting them... www.maiaevrona.com/new-blog/202...

a new mRNA therapy apparently can cut the rate of Huntington's disease progression by ~75%. yet more miracle shit www.bbc.com/news/article...

Seems bad for our society when you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

My Rosh Hashanah poem, first published in the Jewish Women’s Archive: jwa.org/blog/high-ho...

I'm not crazy about Kamala Harris dishing on other prominent democrats (who we may need to win in 2028) but do think the bit about Gavin Newsom responding to her call telling him she was running, with a text saying "Out hiking will call later" and then not calling, was pretty funny...

every Jewish Studies colleague I know who had an NEH grant saw their funding cut earlier this year. now we know where the money went: to the far-right, "western-civilization"-worshipping Tikvah Institute to promote their vision of "Jewish Civilization" as a foundation stone of "the West"

I've seen a lot of people on here in the past day or so repeat the line of "Arabs are Semites, too, so anti-Arab racism is also a form of antisemitism." This is and understandable mistake, given how weird the word is, but it's a misunderstanding of the word.

“It will take decades to recover from this, if we ever do.” America’s cancer research system, which has helped save millions of lives and is in one of its most productive moments, is under threat by the Trump administration.

What a bizarre spectacle it is to watch Democratic politicians and prominent opinionists on the center/center-left attempt to valorize Charlie Kirk.   It is not just utterly detached from the reality of who Kirk was/what he did – it also misunderstands why political violence is bad.

I read this with Weleda Skin Food literally sinking into my skin... www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

It’s demoralizing how every five to ten years society finds a new “it girl” to tear down, even as we bemoan the way Britney Spears/Lindsay Lohan/etc once were treated.
