Mike Johnson is completely useless. Meanwhile, Dems are unified, let’s spread that message for a change.

I have heard a lot of sermons from Rabbi Brous in my time. I think I feel confident saying this was the best one yet. I really really hope you listen it might change your mind on some things youtu.be/bxjnh10_SYk 1/

It’s hard to explain where I stand on Israel, because it feels like I can never explain it well enough.

I can never say everything that needs to be said in the way it needs to be said. I can never prove I care about Palestine and Palestinians enough or that my heart breaks as I watch the destruction of the promise of an Israel that is everything I was raised to believe it could be.

I feel stuck, never saying enough to be heard by those with “Free Palestine” in their bio, but saying too much for fellow Jews.

So when I find something that I can go, here, THIS is what I believe, I need to make sure the most people see it that possibly can.

It is Rosh Hashanah, it’s the first day of the year 5787 on the Jewish Calendar. It is a time to reflect on the past year and decide how we want to show up in the year ahead.

And Rabbi Sharon Brous gave the best sermon (we call it a drash) I have ever heard in my 32 years on this planet.

It encapsulates exactly where I stand as a progressive Jew.

She speaks with compassion and nuance and kavanah (intention).

It’s not short, it’s a little over half an hour, but I hope you do listen to the entire thing. Listen in chunks or on 2x speed, but really hear her words.

Arizona - Teachers *EDIT: Somehow I conflated two different stories out of Arizona, so that has now been corrected. I genuinely don’t know how I did that, but it was an easy fix. 2/

*Arizona

Tue, July 28 - The Arizona Republican legislature tried to do away with the Arizona Education Association, and failed.

They passed a bill to put a measure on the November ballot to ban school districts from hiring union members, meaning the union wouldn’t be able to operate.

This was retaliation for the AEA attempting to get voters to reform and limit school vouchers. Which didn’t get on the ballot either, by the way. There were duplicate signatures and it was unclear if they passed the required threshold, so while they could hypothetically get it on the ballot, there’s just not enough time to do so before the Midterm.

But while AEA’s measure didn’t make it on the ballot because of the signature discrepancy, Superior Court Judge, Gregory Como determined that the Republican measure was just unconstitutional.

A ballot measure that got rid of one union would be fine, but Arizona has the “Separate Amendment Rule,” which means each ballot measure can only affect one thing, The AEA filed a lawsuit saying that the Republican ballot measure would shut down all unions, not just AEA, and Judge Gregory Como agreed:

The Court finds no ambiguity in the phrase “this state or any political subdivision of this state may not negotiate with a labor organization.” The term “labor organization” does not require interpretation because it is defined in HCR 2040 as “any employee representation organization that exists for the purpose of dealing with employers.” Far from limiting the term to teachers’ unions or school employee associations, the definition does not even mention such organizations.

This is a huge win not just for the AEA, but all unions in the state.

I’m sure, if given the opportunity, the Republican legislature will take this ruling under advisement and craft a new bill that doesn’t violate the “Separate Amendment Rule.”

So if you live in Arizona and are wondering why you should vote, here’s a great reason: increasing the number of Dems in the state legislature so Republicans can’t do this.

You can register to vote till Oct 5, and early voting begins on Oct 7, so make a plan and let’s make it so Republicans can never put a measure like this on the ballot again.
