Young people, old people. Jew haters just don't care. We are Americans, we. Are Jews. Your violence cannot deter our love of country, love of our Jewish collective and our commitment to ensure that all who reside in this land, citizens and newcomers, can live securely with their rights unchallenged.

“Some men delight in automobiles and yachts. My luxury is investing my surplus effort to the pleasure of taking up a problem and solving, or helping to solve it, for the people without receiving any compensation". (Louis Brandeis)

Since its inception, Zionists held to the dubious notion of the negation of the Diaspora - that the Diaspora future is in black and white while Israeli life exists in technicolor. We must recognize that Jewish communities worldwide have always had their own unique potential.

At the same time the negation and shunning of Israel, the home of 10 million Israelis (7 million Jews) is equally preposterous. Israeli Jews too have the right to "hereness".

Stop letting Trump play with our heads...third term, Greenland takeover, Canadian statehood, Panama. Nonsense to deflect from his dismantling of American democracy and the civil service.

Ok, boomer lawyers. You were at Woodstock. Then shaved and went to law school. Now your retired with big bucks. How about setting up some pick-up law groups to fight back? Its payback time kiddos!

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Reichstag fire unnecessary. Each day the Trump/Musk Blitzkrieg machine takes one more joyous step toward autocracy. Congress does not have to burn physically it has done so by silence and acquiescence.

Those that the gods would destroy they first drive mad. By design Trump/Musk and company have driven half the country into a frenzy, driven by our expectations of unspeakable harm about to occur and our sense of powerless when faced with this juggernaut of evil. A strategy for survival is needed!

Tell our stories! Meet Nancy Hastings, an 86, West Virginian. Young man picks her up every Mon., Wed., and Fri., at 5:45 a.m. to drive her to dialysis, In late January,with the funding freeze, that young man was laid off when the nonprofit he works for didn’t have the money to keep paying everyone.

Please! Keep posting real life stories of trump/musk victims. e.g Haitian born hospital aide waiting for asylum; synagogues and churches in Greater D.C. where 20% of Govt employed members fired; NIH cancer trial that will never happen; Trans teen bullied to suicide. You know someone Silence kills.

My Daddy taught me: Stand up for the little guy Unions matter Trickle down economics is a sham "American firsters" are a variation of fascists #Jewishleft

New version of A Christmas Carole planned for 2025 in which Scrooge and Marley are misunderstood entrepreneurs standing up to a wishy washy liberalism overtaking the British Empire.
