With actual antisemitism spiking right now, it's quite upsetting to see it being weaponized in disingenuous ways by right wingers who know the criticism of Bari Weiss has nothing to do with her being Jewish.

There really isn't anything much better than seeing your kid totally engaged and consumed by something creative. So impressive!

There's the very, very careful messaging coming out of most colleges and then there's Michael Roth. Just an incredible communicator. And a moral clarity that's rare these days.

I think he's great and would vote for him if I was in NYC. AND "genocide" was a choice.

The sight of the burned ruins of these two mobile home parks is always shocking. So sad.

Seems like the plot of Mountainhead - which seemed a bit far-fetched just a few months ago - is totally possible. Not great.

The last 20 hostages are back home. And yet I can't help thinking about Hersh and all of the others who died in captivity. A bittersweet day.

I know, it's unjust. I always come back to what his ghost writer, Tony Schwartz, said in a 2016 interview....something to the effect of Trump being in a constant state of unhappiness, a bottomless insecurity. I take comfort that he doesn't know how to love or be loved, and is damaged beyond repair.

I still don't understand how Katie Porter was our front runner? Is our bench that shallow? He has zero name recognition, but I could see Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel as a viable candidate. Young, whip-smart, a sweet husband and dad. a46.asmdc.org

OMG, David. We got a Toto Washlet in 2020 when there was a run on toilet paper which turns out was the best purchase ever. Instead of wiping your tush with TP, you wash with a warm stream of water, then dry with warm air. And did I mention an always warm toilet seat? It's the BEST.

No, my point is that some folks are singularly focused on Israel when there are other countries waging pointless wars harming innocent populations.
