WATCH: Vance blasts Netanyahu's cabinet for opposing Iran deal. Really--Mr. Trump is the only head of state sympathetic to Israel? Not true. Plus, does American Jews no favor by underscoring this distortion of truth. https://t.co/K54QwINozm

@NYKnowledgeSoc People engaged in lawful activities need not be hidden from view. The constitution protects them, But when a president tramples on the constitution, they are no longer safe. Nor are Jews, nor you nor me, nor anyone else.

Should ICE agents be masked? Police officers are not masked, even if they must sometimes engage in difficult encounters. ICE agents engaged in lawful actions have no reason to hide behind masks, excepting circumstances when dealing with drug lords or gangs.

Trump Reacts to Mueller’s Death: "Good, I’m Glad" (Truth Social). As long as the top leader reacts in partisan and puerile ways to situations that demand kindness and sympathy, we can expect the nation to remain divided, despairing, and depressed.

My colleague, Rabbi Steven Abraham, writes brilliantly on the sad divide between American and Israeli Jews. When we misread our compromises as strengths, we endanger the future of American Jewry. @greditor https://t.co/06L6upHsPX

If JD Vance claims that the ICE officer who killed RN Good was on edge due to a recent, serious accident, then a Department of Homeland security concerned with responsible oversight would have NOT kept an agent, fully armed, making split-second life & death decisions.

Vince Guaraldi. He left us at age 47, but not before composing the Peanuts theme song, Linus and Lucy. I am not willing to cast my fate to the wind, but I would listen to Vince play the song of the same name, Happy New Year and thanks Vince! https://t.co/68UzO9TMLB via @YouTube
