Francesca Albanese modeled a way to answer this effectively even under the constraints of someone who cannot afford a soundbite denying “Israel’s right to exist”

I don’t think there’s ever been a more appropriate time for this in the six years of its existence

For 6.5 years, we have fought for Yeshiva University to end its discrimination against its own students and recognize an LGBTQ+ student group on campus.

Today, that finally happened.

"no one has died" because of feeding USAID to the woodchipper, Elon claimed. In this devastating piece the NYT went out and learned some of their names and stories:

Free Mahmoud Khalil. This is straight out of the fascist playbook. Criminalizing dissent is an assault on our First Amendment and freedom of speech. Revoking someone’s green card for expressing their political opinion is illegal. Protesting genocide is not a crime.

[Dr. Mia Brett @QueenMab87]

I have been saying this for a year. Justifying fascist actions as combatting antisemitism is still scapegoating Jews and endangering us. Every American Jew not already standing up against this needs to urgently wake up

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

ICE’s arrest of Mahmoud Khalil is an unconstitutional and egregious violation of the First Amendment, and a frightening weaponization of immigration law. 

I disagree strongly with things that were said in the protests he reportedly led. But it will not make Jews — or any of us — safer for the federal government to deport people for saying things we may find hateful, as Martin Niemoller reminds us:

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out, because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out, because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me, and there was no one left to speak for me.

my most american take is that mm/dd/yy is the best date format. putting the month first adds context and paints a picture.

Any time I read a cynical take about the supposed death or end of New York, I am reminded of my favorite NYC quote of all time, by the philosopher Robert M. Pirsig, and it always puts a smile on my face:

“New York has always been going to hell but somehow it never gets there.”

Unfortunately, Matt Gaetz is unable to accept a recess appointment because he has plans during most recess periods.

It is November 2024. Queens native Donald Trump just won the national election. Prospect Park is engulfed in smoke and ash. New York City is under a historic drought watch. The fountain in Washington Square Park continues to run. The vibes are completely off but Gotham endures.
