Enough.
End this war.
Bring back the hostages (yes, with an "all for all" deal).
Release Marwan Barghouti and start negotiating like grown-ups.
ALL of this will happen at some point.
So do it now.
Enough blood. Enough killing.
Enough.

:My modest wish for the new year

الحرية والكرامة للجميع

חופש וכבוד לכולם

Freedom and dignity for all

[Naomi Klein @NaomiAKlein]

This is a big deal. Thank you @RepRaskin.

With 90% of the vote counted, it's clear the democratic opposition in Poland just defeated the national-conservative autocratic ruling party.

I know that there are a lot of terrible things happening right now, but this, finally, is actual good news:

Jewish pogromists run amok in the West Bank; an international criminal is threatening to unseat an even greater criminal in the Kremlin. And Ukraine, where pogroms once triggered Zionism, is fighting for freedom and justice, led by a Jewish president. How history turns!

The execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg 70 years ago on #espionage charges continues to raise questions for their sons, Michael and Robert Meeropol.

In an appeal to @ODNIgov, they call for release of all related @NSAGov and @USNatArchives records:

@BrianLehrer I am a New Yorker registered for the Paris Marathon on April 2! What does Roger Cohen think about the Marathon's 50,000 runners running in ten days? Will we? Or will the race be cancelled? Many thanks, Merci bien!

@RonaldKlain @POTUS olea-ha-sholem!

@peterstaley Totally agree! His staff should never have scheduled a big interview before he could rest up after the SOTU - a self inflicted wound!

There's a subtext to the @IlhanMN expulsion effort that echoes through US history: From Paul Robeson to Muhammed Ali to Andrew Young. Black public figures who endorse anti-imperial critiques of US foreign policy are almost always punished.

@freedaaron Hmmm @freedaaron this seems like a very utilitarian, binary and non-dialectical approach to bagels & lox!

[Stuart Schear @StuartSchear]

Scandalous & unforgivable! Clearly the @nydems and the @DCCC_TheStates were asleep at the wheel!

[Michael Tomasky @mtomasky]

It's not The New York Times's job to get dirt on George Santos. It's the Zimmerman campaign's and the NY State Dem Party's job.

@MollieKatzen Every reason to be proud and even more so to run a NYC Marathon with a nice smile on such a hot and humid day!

Mame loshen = Yiddish! A mekhayeh!

Thank you @ACLU and @jstreetdotorg for your amicus briefs in defense of the right to boycott. As the son of a (late) great progressive American Jewish baker active in the ACLU (see photo), I can assure you that boycotts are as American as apple pie!

[ACLU @ACLU]

BREAKING: We filed a petition urging the Supreme Court to review a lower court's decision stating the First Amendment doesn't fully protect the right to boycott.

This decision takes away free speech freedoms Americans have exercised since the Boston Tea Party. We won't allow it.
