At a moment of rising antisemitism and broader hate and extremism, the loudest voices are offering a false choice between Jewish safety and democracy. But there is no Jewish safety without inclusive democracy - and no inclusive democracy without Jewish safety.

Honestly, this doesn’t look that different from the Charlottesville neo-Nazis’ chats. Same exact antisemitism, racism, and violence — a reminder of how normalized it’s all become.

Iran poses an increased threat to British Jews, says intelligence committee www.thejc.com/news/politic...

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces and LA's economy is floundering without them. Hello?

🚨 New poll by @N12News: The overwhelming majority of Israelis support a permanent ceasefire in Gaza. 82% back a deal that would end the war and the release of all 50 hostages.

“That office’s warning coordination meteorologist left on April 30, after taking the early retirement package the Trump administration used to reduce the number of federal employees, according to a person with knowledge of his departure.”

"Macroeconomics is the study of averages, and on average, taxes are gonna be a lot lower under this bill. But good economists look beneath the average and see what's happening to individuals. The combo of this bill + tariffs is gonna result in higher taxes for 80% of Americans"

Happy actual Independence Day, the day the Continental Congress actually passed the resolution declaring independence (as opposed to the 4th, when the Declaration was adopted). John Adams at first predicted that July 2 would be the great day of national celebration.

There's a horror film that still gives me nightmares. A populist strongman comes to power with a weak grasp of economics but a love of low interest rates and few political checks. That movie was Turkey, which saw inflation rise above 50 percent. Should we fear an American sequel?

Over a dozen White House or DHS staffers, including Stephen Miller, are profiting off public policy they created. They have shares in Palantir, a company that works with ICE and received a no-bid contract to implement Trump's mass deportations. 🧵 www.pogo.org/investigatio...

This is Trump's new 22 yo head of Counterterrorism assisting shoppers find ketchup aisle at his last job.

If you can rent Venice for your wedding you can pay more tax

Stephen Miller yelled at immigration officials to ramp up deportations saying, "You guys aren't doing a good job. What do you mean you're going after criminals? Why aren't you at Home Depot?" He also owns between $100k and $250k in shares for a company used by ICE. www.pogo.org/investigatio...

The most comprehensive correction of RFK jr’s ongoing vaccine lies that I’ve seen.

Has anyone seen the story about the Russian spy who is vetting the employees hiring at the White House. He has not been vetted himself. Check it out. Breaking news .

Police arrested a suspect who planned a mass shooting at a Texas Jewish Community Center.

France: A 15-year-old boy, believed to be Jewish, was lured into a trap by two teenage boys who humiliated, insulted, & threatened him with death in a basement.

"Before you know it all you got is bankrupt states." @pingree.house.gov‬ of Maine tells it like it is in a dynamite conversation with @jenrubin.bsky.social

Holy crap. The US-UK trade deal is a blank sheet of paper and only Trump signed it. (Genuine screen grab).

As many nations ban books, Finland began teaching school children how to identify misinformation and propaganda as a part of its curriculum. They score highest for media literacy in Europe. If only the U.S. would do the same. But the GOP survives on misinformation.

Congress should pass the bipartisan BARK Act, my bill to save millions of pounds of perfectly good pet food from the trash and get it to the growing population of hungry shelter dogs and cats. We can do this. Let’s get it done.

Right?

Sly Stone and Brian Wilson - two 82-year-old musical visionaries whose careers both suffered due to their respective battles with crippling mental illness. And they died two days apart.

Republican South Carolina state Rep RJ May III was indicted for distribution of child sexual abuse material. He used the username "joebidennn69".

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Antisemitism ruins pro-democracy organizing, which is probably a reason Putin is so invested in promoting it.

Excessive masking by ICE & associated agents must STOP – the confusion and fear it causes opened the way for this impersonation robbery in Philadelphia! Public safety demands the Trump administration stop agents from masking except in rare cases. (1/4)

The American golden age of economic and productivity growth coincided with high rates of unionization. The notion that labor and Abundance are opposing values is a historical falsehood.

ICYMI: Here’s what’s really important. Not two billionaire babies bickering.

Trump Administration gives critical national security role to 22-year old with no experience, but he knows about gardening and grocery stores. Trump rewarding MAGA loyalists with jobs that impact YOUR safety: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozje...

As you ponder the likely consequences of the new steel tariffs, it's worth asking: A. How long does it take to build a steel mill? B. How long do you expect Trump's new 50% steel tariff to last? If A>B, then how can you expect any lasting gains from these tariffs?

Philadelphia has the lowest number of homicides in 50 years. We can have our freedom and our safety too.

Grateful for the strength that carries us through hard days and the hope that keeps rising even when the world feels heavy. On this 13th day of the Omer — Yesod within Gevurah — we remember: resilience is built on the foundation of connection and courage to begin again.

On this Yom Hashoah, I’m thinking about my Grandma Kamisa and Grandpa Benyiamin who were sent into forced labor camps by Nazis in Tunisia. The horrors of the Holocaust in Africa are rarely acknowledged, let alone discussed.

Debunked, half-true, and deeply ableist. RFK Jr. knows shockingly little about autism.

Fun fact: Jewish Supremacy is a term coined by the Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke.
