This is fundamentally the root of Jewish commitment to liberalism, and why the people who want to throw that out to protect an ethnostate are selling our birthright for a bowl of shitty porridge.

It is not possible to guarantee safety for a minority group except through a multicultural society. This is a basic fact of hard reality. Wise up, Steve.

The Manchester synagogue attack is a story of mass immigration and multiculturalism. We must bring an end to both.

Watching All the President’s Men for the first time and it’s very funny how they made an effort to have Dustin Hoffman look like Carl Bernstein but just let Robert Redford do his thing

Yes exactly! Like, it's fine to put out a surface-level album that sounds good but isn't deep, but she doesn't need to do that.

Rebecca Fishbein @bfishbfish.bsky.social · 1d

(FWIW I don't actually think the album is Bad Bad so much as I think it's surprisingly bland and the first one that really feels like "I'm making an album just to stay relevant" and that kind of bums me out, ngl)

The packages arrived square and thin and carefully wrapped on Saturday afternoon. There were three of them, but only one was mine. If I could have rejected my package, sent it back from whence it came...

Every crisis is an opportunity. This is the moment for Dems on Capitol Hill to call a news conference and make clear: Not one dime to fund the federal government until Trump withdraws his unlawful orders and agrees not to send troops to occupy Democratic-run cities

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.
