Chicago police shot and murdered Adam Toledo while he had his hands up. He was 13.

Police lied about it. Local government maintained that lie. Reporters repeated that lie.

There is no justification for this. This whole system is guilty. We must defund the police NOW.

Malcolm X was right about white people.

@DinosaurBiology Ugh. People freaking suck. I'm so sorry.

Being Jewish is awesome. What other tradition involves doing complicated drunken math in order to evoke the mystical nature of the seasons in honor of a tree's birthday?

[Rishus Cold Yetzer @JustSayXtian]

Listen, shaking fertility symbols in all six directions and then living in a roofless hut for a week is a totally normal thing that everyone does.

When you're doing the 3rd Aliyah, but you got confused and stood up for the 2nd and now you don't know whether you should sit back down or just keep standing and try to play it off.

It seems people saying crocodylians have remained the same for 200 million years is one of the things that sets me off.

@DinosaurBiology Me! I'm pretty sure people are going to go freaking bonkers and am not looking forward to it.

Misogyny and anti-Semitism rode hard with racism on Wednesday, January 6, 2021.

Eugene Goodman, our living Crispus Attacks. He deserves commendations.

Forever perplexed by antiblack Jews and antisemitic Black folks cuz we so much alike, culturally and historically, it ain't funny. Also, Black Jews.

Before someone pops in with nonsense about "the real Hebrews," my point includes modern-day Ashkenazim.

[Tempest is 𝕏ing herself off of this site @tinytempest]

We need to have a serious conversation about how John Boyega is doing what so many high profile Black actors don't do: Speak up and take a stand. Yes, some are waiting for their moment. And some continue to tap dance for white men long after they need to.

What is something that Judaism taught you that resonated so much that you carry it with you everywhere you go?

[Melanie Williams @eclecticdork]

@DinosaurBiology And awesome! Don't forget awesome!
