There is no excuse for Islamophobia, in our elections or ever. This is offensive to Assemblymember Mamdani and all of us who value multiracial democracy in NYC.
A reminder to Jewish organizations that the anti Arab racial abuse that occurred today in the Senate was done in our name as Jews.
And we must all respond as Jews against it.
It is absurd and appalling up that my longtime friend and colleague @AAIUSA’s Maya Berry was asked by a sitting senator whether she supports Hamas and Hezbollah while testifying about fighting hate crimes against Jews, Arabs, Muslims and so many other targeted groups 🤬🤬🤬🤬
.@SenJohnKennedy: You support Hamas, do you not?
@AAIUSA's Maya Berry: Hamas is a foreign terrorist organization that I do not support...You asking the executive director of the Arab American Institute that question very much puts the focus on the issue of hate in our country?
This Sunday is a perfect time for Jews across America to stand up for basic Jewish values. We know what it’s like to be accused of being a vector for disease, of being a danger. And we know what it’s like to be targeted and told to get the hell out. Please join us.
It is a mistake, not just a political one, but a moral one, to ignore that grief and their humanity. It and they should be represented on the stage at the convention.
But grief and humanity are not limited to Israelis, and neither should empathy be so. I stand with my Palestinian friends in their call to have their voices and their humanity recognized and valued in the same way.
Seeing Rachel and Jon Goldberg Polin on stage last night was powerful and heartbreaking. It was important because it was not about politics, it was about empathy and humanity. I cried as they shared their story and their grief with the world.
Former board members and the union at Americans United for Separation of Church and State allege a "toxic" work culture they fear will undermine the 1st Amendment watchdog group's work

I love that one of the instrumental music pieces that British Airways chooses to play while people are boarding/deplaning is what I know as the @WorldsBeyondPod outro music 😆
Yesterday, the House passed a bill that would chill speech on college campuses under the guise of fighting antisemitism.
Antisemitism must be condemned and combatted, but attacking our First Amendment rights will not solve this growing problem.
Honored to have been one of the people in that crowd alongside @Dechtire, marking the critically important 50th anniversary of the end of fascist rule in Portugal! #FascismoNuncaMais
Had a very vivid dream in which I was hanging out with @maddow telling her she had to watch @dropout.
Hey @samreich are you guys working on an Inception spinoff or something? Cut it out 🤣
Horrifying.
@POTUS, @WhiteHouse and @SenateDems we urge you not to go down this path. Immigrants are our friends, our family, beloved members of our communities, not bargaining chips.
