“Those who burn books will in the end burn people” Heinrich Heine

[יצחק הרצוג Isaac Herzog @Isaac_Herzog]

I unequivocally condemn the permission granted in Sweden to burn holy books. As the President of Israel, I condemned the burning of the Quran, sacred to Muslims world over, and I am now heartbroken that the same fate awaits a Jewish Bible, the eternal book of the Jewish people.

This is great news! Court Allows Faith Leaders’ Lawsuit Challenging Missouri Abortion Ban To Proceed https://t.co/nUR22HtOXY

[Rori Picker Neiss @roripn]

Missouri court rules that our case can move forward!

[Americans United @americansunited]

Our lawsuit, brought with @nwlc, argues that Missouri's abortion bans violate the separation of church and state, and impose one narrow religious doctrine on all Missourians. That lawsuit proceeds after the Friday ruling.

Missouri owes America a really big apology today…

[Americans United @americansunited]

Religious freedom is NOT a right to discriminate or harm others.

My Torah for this Shabbat, as delivered this past Sunday at #Pride. Because no one can curse a people that God does not wish to curse and our love will always win out.

+1 for Jews except too many Jews are thinking about who gives us political power and not who even who is more or less likely to harm us.

[rabia O'chaudry @rabiasquared]

I’m so deeply ashamed at Muslim leaders analyzing whether to ally with the political left or right based on who is more likely to “exterminate” us (🙄) rather than which party’s values are more broadly closer to Islam, ie kinder, more tolerant, more loving and gentle

Love to see it #TransRightsAreHumanRights

[Ron Kampeas @kampeas]

In notable stand, Israel’s ambassador to US says 'trans rights are human rights' https://t.co/Z0LzkXdNXT via @JTAnews

Let’s go, MO!

The tide is turning on anti-trans bills.

They are resoundingly being seen as unconstitutional in courts.

This map shows the fate of gender affirming care bans for trans youth. A month ago, this map was almost entirely red.

Now, significant chunks of the USA have access again!

Absolute must read:

Our Jewish cmty isnt immune to this
reality. Yet Jewish leaders are grappling with how to best support people. Imagine if 1/4 of all Jews were questioning their basic civil rights, access to medical care, security over their bodies, or whether to leave home?

Big big "Yasher Koach" to Nate Looney at @jfederations for adding his personal experience to the conversation happening about issues impacting our states and the beloved community members who live in them.

Amazing!

Kentucky and Tennessee gender affirming care bans were just blocked in court and ruled as likely unconstitutional.

States are 0-6 on gender affirming care bans.

Banning gender affirming care for trans youth is UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

WE JUST KEEP WINNING!

@tashakaminsky SERIOUSLY

[Rori Picker Neiss @roripn]

Remember that time during the Trump administration when government employees were resigning with secret messages in acrostic and then we all just moved on?
