The mass displacement looks exactly like 2006, but this time, no cheering for the “resistance.” This time, only fear and helplessness. People are tired, broke, and depressed. No one can afford another war, and no one wants it. All I hear is pleading for #Nasrallah to stop and

Public officials at all levels are facing unprecedented harassment, doxxing, threats at their homes, etc In today’s Toronto Star, I explain this is not a “decline in decorum and civility,” this is the far-right targeting Canada’s democratic institutions: thestar.com/opinion/contri…

Wanting to do a bad thing doesn't make you bad, and wanting to do a good thing doesn't make you good. Our behavior matters more than our impulses (or even our intentions).

Our guest post from S. Bear Bergman explores thoughts on the Yetzer HaTov—what's called the "good impulse" in the Jewish tradition—and the Yetzer HaRa—the "bad impulse"—and how these concepts can help us grow as people without shame. lifeisasacredtext.com/bearyetzers/

Please don't put up a mezuzah, or even a mezuzah case, if you aren't Jewish.

There was plenty of racism on the internet during Trump’s first and second campaigns, but on Elon Musk’s X, “the racism has now become so relentless and self-confident that it amounts to a genuine qualitative difference,” Thomas Chatterton Williams writes. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…

My “For you” is like 80 percent right-wing propaganda. There isn’t an algorithm on the planet that would serve me that content unless someone had their finger on the scale.

Trump wants to give immigrants serial numbers. My friend Walter on the left and Werner in the middle got their serial numbers 10 apart in Auschwitz.

"I wandered around a country I had never been to before, not speaking the language, for ten days. I now have opinions on the moral worth of the entire country. Put me on the cover of The New Yorker" ...ok?

I absolutely despise the autographing of munitions, rockets, missiles—any of it. I hate it when they do it in Israel, and I hate that Governor Shapiro is doing it here. It doesn’t make a single person safer. It doesn’t matter if your intent is to defend your territory against

Or it’s just not a settler-colonial project.

Absolutely wild that hackers are sitting on a goldmine of Trump leaks and apparently cannot find a single journalist in the US willing to publish them.

Why non-Jews should avoid doing Jewish sacred practices: a 🧵 (mandatory caveat - if you are invited to join Jews in doing whatever it is, these rules don't apply)

You have many thousands of UN soldiers in south Lebanon whose job, according to UNSC resolutions, is to stop Hezbollah. But they refuse to stop Hezbollah. You have two UNSC resolutions that demand Hezbollah disarm and leave the border, but you won’t even name them in any of your
