Platner wrote a ton about his political beliefs on Reddit. He didn’t think it’d be read. He was a woke BLM guy who talked about the struggles of LGBT marines & got into arguments with Holocaust revisionists. There is no Nazi on earth who would talk like this. It’s dispositive.
🚨BREAKING: Israel has closed all crossings into Gaza and halted the entry of humanitarian aid following Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel, cutting off supplies to roughly 2 million Palestinians in the territory.
Israel has imposed similar blanket closures during previous periods of regional escalation, including immediately after the outbreak of war in late February, collectively punishing Gaza’s civilian population.
T’ruah means a shout, a battle cry for justice, a joyful noise that calls us toward collective liberation.
I was honored to celebrate the work of Rabbi Jill Jacobs and @truahrabbis at their gala. This year’s honorees, including New York’s own Gili Getz, remind us that solidarity is a practice.
As Tehillim teaches: “Fortunate are the ones who know this joyful shout.”
Grateful to be in this struggle for justice alongside you.
As a Jewish New Yorker, fighting antisemitism and hate is top of mind. But on the issue of Israel, Dan Goldman and I couldn’t be further apart. #NY10Debate

Kimmel: I like your football jersey. Supporting Ukrainian team?
Chef José Andrés: My beloved Spanish team, of course. But Ukraine is my team today. They didn’t make it to World Cup, but today they're fighting the biggest match — for freedom and democracy.
Kimmel: Yes, they are.
Chef José Andrés: And can I tell you one more thing?
Kimmel: Yes, please.
Chef José Andrés: No civilian should ever be bombed. Not in Ukraine, not in Gaza, not in Lebanon, not in Israel. No war! That’s why they are my team today.
This is Ken Paxton's mugshot.
He was indicted on 3 felony counts for investment fraud.
He was reported to the FBI by his own staff for bribery.
He was impeached by his own party for corruption.
Now he’s the Republican nominee for US Senate in Texas.
Together we will stop him.
As a Muslim, I was touched by NY Congressional candidate Brad Lander’s recitation of the shortest surah (chapter) in the Quran, and smiled when I heard a very Hebrew accent come through. I hope New Yorkers make the right choice and vote for him in the Democratic primary for the 10th district.
For folks waking up to this important news
@WHO has declared a public health emergency (PHEIC) for the Ebola outbreak in DRC & Uganda. Only the 9th such declaration in history
The strain is Bundibugyo for which we have no vaccine, no treatments. Here's what concerns me:
The thought of seeing Joel Embiid wear another teams uniform is not one I like…
Is he perfect? Of course not, his body has failed him over & over. But I’m rocking with @JoelEmbiid until he calls it a career & I hope that’s in Philly
The most talented/under appreciated big ever
The "Great Israeli Real Estate Event" is back in NYC, this time at a synagogue in Midwood that is also home to a city-funded senior center
At the event last week, I saw advertisements for properties in West Bank settlements considered illegal under international law
The Sixers lost in 7 in 2023 in round 2 of the playoffs. Morey then decided to punt a year of Embiid’s prime for his cap space plan, and then end up tanking the year after. Now, 3 years later the Sixers are in a worse position.
Josh Harris and Morey HAVE to go!!!!!!
