New op-ed from me today in Haaretz.

Heartbroken and horrified, and sending love to my friends and colleagues in Minneapolis who have been through so much this year. Big thanks to the mayor of Minneapolis for standing firmly for trans rights. Using this horrific shooting to vilify the trans community is shameful and predictable.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Rumeysa Ozturk should be observing Ramadan and breaking fast with her community. Not being snatched off the street by ICE agents. Release her NOW. As Jews, we will say NO every time Trump tries to use our safety as a smokescreen to advance his fascist agenda. www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuFI...

From me today in Ha’aretz www.haaretz.com/opinion/2025...

Thank you, AG Tish James! There is so much we can do on the state & local level to protect New Yorkers from the MAGA agenda — but we need public outrage, principled city & state leaders, and collective action to do it. Join us at 6:30pm on E 35th & 1st to make sure NYU Langone hears our voices.

Never forget who lived, thrived. We know their playbook. We can beat them. To honor the memory of everyone who deserved better then, to honor the future of everyone who deserves the best now. Solidarity is the only way home. Collective liberation or bust, friends.

We are deeply troubled to learn that some members of the Jewish community are calling for the deportation of foreign-born university students and faculty who they deem “pro-Hamas,” and compiling lists of those they want to target for deportation.

I know folks think we're being hysterical about the Laken Riley Act and Trump's EO's but ICE just did a raid in Newark where they detained undocumented residents as well as citizens (including a veteran), without producing a warrant. 1/

It seems like ADL forgot to unfollow us.

The direct correlation of transphobia, xenophobia, and antisemitism should come as no surprise to anyone. Also, the antisemitic statement below is one of the most dangerous, and historically one of the deadliest, antisemitic tropes.

This never has worked - not once. Once you concede the the far right's framing on immigration, you're dead, because you can never serve up as remedies as vile or extreme as they can, but you're also saying they have the right idea. And no one will vote for that dead dog in the middle of the road.

The Laken Riley Act manipulates personal tragedy to harm immigrants 🧵

Right now, Bend the Arc leaders are on Capitol Hill with the largest immigrant justice coalition in the country, Home is Here, to meet with members of Congress and demand action. Call your Senators now and demand NO to funding Trump’s mass deportations! www.bendthearc.us/no_funding_f...

A trans person didn’t deny your health insurance claim, a giant corporation did. An asylum seeker didn’t raise your rent, a billionaire’s private equity firm did. Our focus must be taking on the billionaires & corporate greed.

Congrats to our friend (and PAC endorsee!) Rep. @gregcasar.bsky.social on being elected as the new chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus!
