Through @aftunion, I just asked Congress to support the Keep Public Funds in Public Schools Act and to repeal the national school voucher tax credit scheme. Because public schools should be strengthened, not abandoned. Add your voice: https://t.co/dLeLv3xBhz

Maybe the month's most thought provoking conversation. It's about more than Trump's core delusion. It's about suicidal assaults on the international liberal order (that in Israel is largely about Netanyahu's threat VS. Jewish history & moral credibility). https://t.co/egmwzgMmuM

@ezraklein A month into 2026, mixed feelings grow over this insightful essay. YES, "radiate respect" for "genuine relationships", & widen the "circle of empathy"! BUT, how to practice political good will & generosity, w/out swing voters seeing mostly 'weakness' toward opponents/#Trumpists?

[Andrew Butz, PhD @PCCsociologist]

@ezraklein Insightful column! YES to: "Working to widen that circle of empathy... of belonging... [as] both morally & politically good". AND YET, isn't this wider goal & underlying morality typically rejected by the Right??

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

"Economic justice is mentioned 3,000 times in our Scriptures, both the New Testament and the Hebrew Scriptures. This is such a core part of our tradition, and it’s nowhere to be seen in Christian nationalism or on the religious right." - @jamestalarico

Let us be clear: the murder of sister Renee Good in Prince’s city—Minneapolis—is not an isolated incident. It is one more step toward American-style fascism! #Minneapolis #TruthJusticeLove

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

This is one of the best, frame-by-frame breakdowns here by Brenna Perez of the Minnesota ICE shooting, proving without a doubt that ICE agent wasn't in danger, and he murdered Renee Good.

Make sure everyone sees it.
