If I could have seen into the future and known I was going to be trapped in my apartment for an extended period of time, I wouldn’t have been so reserved with my Girl Scout cookie order.

In Judaism, under תִּיקּוּן עוֹלָם ("Heal the World"), we are taught that prayer is necessary, but not sufficient. Elected leaders cannot use prayers alone to let ourselves off the hook for our own inaction.

Ken Burns calls it "shortsighted" to eliminate funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting https://t.co/JLv2Z9NzSd

Met with Coloradans from JewishColorado to discuss the rise in antisemitism in America.

As a Member of Congress, I will continue to use my voice to speak out and stand against hate.

[Liz Lebeaux @liz_lebeaux]

We should be encouraging Americans to be civically informed and engaged outside of their home communities regardless of where they reside, including New Yorkers.

[Liz Lebeaux @liz_lebeaux]

This is not a comment on the second sentence, but rather the first - as a New Yorker who now lives and works in Colorado, this ethos creates incredibly real and problematic divides between coastal cities and the rest of the country.

[Lawrence H. Summers @LHSummers]

Every American is a citizen of New York City. It's so much a cultural and financial hub of our country that what happens in NYC is consequential for all of us. And I'm not an expert on the exigencies of the details of NYC economic policy, but I do think the Democratic Socialist program would be profound and dangerous for NYC, for the Democratic Party, and for the USA.

Hate and violence perpetrated by Jews against other Jews is also antisemitism.

Dozens hurled stones and blocked the doors of a Reform synagogue in Ra’anana, as police had to escort worshippers to safety from a right-wing mob

Jewish safety is inextricably linked with inclusive democracy in which everyone’s fundamental rights are protected. Selectively applying due process based on someone’s identity or views makes Jews - and everyone - less safe.

[Liz Lebeaux @liz_lebeaux]

For anyone who may wonder how this is viewed by Jews, this is one perspective. The weaponization of Jewish culture and experiences in order to push a political agenda is antisemitic. This decision gives fuel to bad actors to continue their attacks on the Jewish campus community.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

SHALOM COLUMBIA: The Trump Admin, led by @USEDgov and the Task Force to Combat Antisemitism (@TheJusticeDept, @HHSGov, & @USGSA), has canceled ~$400M in federal grants to @Columbia over its failure to protect Jewish students from antisemitic harassment.

advocating for increased accessibility to fresh food grocers, understanding the socioeconomic indicators that lead to poor health outcomes, and practicing empathy, kindness, and the age-old adage of minding our own damn business.

I love Sweetgreen - and fries - but this is unnecessary demonization of fast food and, by association, those who eat fast food. You know what Sweetgreen doesn’t have? A dollar menu. A discounted children’s menu. Locations where the majority of Americans who eat fast food live.

[Calley Means @calleymeans]

.@sweetgreen is launching fries today - explicitly calling out their CLEAN ingredients compared to the 10+ components of McDonald’s fries.

We ate fries in the 1960’s but weren’t chronically obese. It’s about REAL food.

[Liz Lebeaux @liz_lebeaux]

As we watch food prices in America continue to rise to astronomical levels (I’m looking at you, $12 carton of eggs), why don’t we spend a little less time celebrating moral superiority against those who rely on low-cost eateries to feed their families and a little more time

[Katherine Clark @WhipKClark]

Just hours after taking the oath of office, Donald Trump took down https://t.co/mM8VKA42q2 — a website to help women find health care and understand their rights.

They’re wasting no time assaulting freedom.

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

For all Trump's talk of manufacturing jobs, you didn't see the CEOs of GE and Caterpillar sitting in the prime seats today. You saw the CEOs of Amazon and X and Meta and Google and TikTok.

It's the attentional oligarchs whose power he cares about.

[Liz Lebeaux @liz_lebeaux]

@zschrieber Never.

[Liz Lebeaux @liz_lebeaux]

@zschrieber This is niche humor and I am here for it.

My personality type is “only listens to the ‘Christmas Coffeehouse’ playlist on Spotify”.
