@patmcgrathreal I've been trying to reach customer service for nearly 2 weeks by email. Is there some other way I should be reaching out for assistance? Thanks!

[Paddington @paddingtonbear]

Thank you Ma’am, for everything.

@nisslbodies 38 and yes!

[Rabbi Mark Asher Goodman @RabbiMarkAsherG]

In Judaism, if you say a prayer over something, then fail to do the requisite action that follows, like blessing bread and not eating it, it’s a bracha levatla - which is a sinful act.

If you pray for victims of gun violence but do nothing, it is a sinful act.

[John Pavlovitz @johnpavlovitz]

Wait, so gun control laws aren’t going to help prevent shootings but laws against abortion are supposed to stop abortions?

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.

Riddle: I’m 74 years young and 3,000 years old.

Who am I?

(Spoiler, it’s me #Israel!)

Happy #IsraelIndependenceDay!

For Jews who can become pregnant, access to abortion services is a religious *requirement*, and has been for thousands of years. Surprised? Let's dig into some of the texts 🧵 1/

[(((Rep.Alma Hernandez))) @almaforarizona]

I don’t know any other religion that fears stepping into their place of worship or that has to have law enforcement at their door just to pray/have a gathering. This isn't free to us. It's time to pass legislation that helps us stay safe & cover these costs #Antisemitism

@WajahatAli Weaponizing that a Muslim took a synagogue hostage into Islamophobia is unacceptable. However when Council on American Islamic Relations, Linda Sarsour, + Zaharia Billoo used anti-Jewish tropes and said “Zionist synagogues are your enemies” they divided our communities. 😞

[Dina just Dina @DiJewish]

Real talk: most Jews right now in the US are obsessively refreshing between prayer just waiting to hear that hostages have been released that no one is harmed and to begin to tackle our age old burden of how to carry on in the face of so many people who hate us for no reason.

Four years ago, Heather Heyer was killed while protesting white supremacists who chanted “Jews will not replace us.”

White supremacy, antisemitism, and bigotry have no place in our country, and we must commit ourselves to eradicating all forms of hate.

I can’t tell if this is a good site with a lot of bad and broken people on it or a bad site that brings out the worst in good people.

[Heather Long @byHeatherLong]

This is a huge deal.

All K-12 student lunches will be free through spring 2022

I've written for years about "school lunch debt" that so many students rack up. Now no student will be turned away -- or be shamed -- for being unable to pay for lunch.

USDA extends universal free lunch through next school year, bringing relief to millions of food-insecure families https://t.co/B3Yhb6Nn5t

I got to make my vaccine appt today and I screamed with joy when I got the scheduling text. I’m so freaking excited!

[Kate Maltby @KateMaltby]

Met tells women not to gather in solidarity. Duchess of Cambridge does it anyway. There’s a PhD to be written in what she’s signalling about royal gender politics by doing so this week. But props, and I do hope no police officer arrests another women for doing as she has done.
