Letters from @inclusivemass.bsky.social on the K-12 antisemitism recommendations. "With DEI under attack, fight against bigotry should be all-encompassing," writes Nancy Murray. "It is now more important than ever to take a united approach in the fight against bigotry...and hate in schools."

Why not a special state commission to protect all students from hate? - The Boston Globe
"Perhaps what is actually taking place in our schools is a crisis of religious-based violence and harassment — even if that sad fact doesn’t fit the narrative that some prefer," writes one reader.

Jeremy Ben-Ami, president of the liberal Zionist group J Street, defends criticisms of Israel: "If we want Jews to be safe, and if we truly desire peace in Israel and Palestine, we must defend the distinction between political argument and racial hatred."

No, Antizionism Isn’t Always Antisemitism
When every critique of Israel is branded as antisemitism, the word loses its meaning — and real antisemitism actually grows.

Here we go.  RFK Jr has fired the entire advisory committee on vaccines.  He will pack it with his anti-vaccine pseudoscientists.  His plan to destroy the entire vaccine program has begun.  A dangerous lunatic.

In LA, protesters have come face-to-face in recent days with members of law enforcement wielding “nonlethal” weapons. While these are regularly used in the United States to disperse public demonstrations, they can cause serious injuries.

The Dangerous Truth About the ‘Nonlethal’ Weapons Used Against LA Protesters
While they can cause serious injuries, “nonlethal” weapons are regularly used in the United States to disperse public demonstrations, including at the recent ICE protests in Los Angeles.

for no reason, an excerpt from "let this radicalize you"…
"Violence" in Social Movements • 111
They Will Call You Violent
If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because "violence" is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful" are, in reality, quite violent.
Even as people experience the violence of poverty, the torture of im-prisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to "peaceful protest," they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.

First they illegally deport citizens. Then they unleash ICE to terrorize communities. Now they’ve got the National Guard in L.A. to silence protestors. This ain’t about law and order. This is what authoritarianism looks like.

RFK Jr.’s plan was always to undermine the vaccine regimen as much as he can. Bill Cassidy and other Republican senators were fools to believe anything else. They have enabled a profound threat to the health and well-being of millions of Americans.

RFK Jr. promised under oath not to take away vaccine access. He broke that promise again today. ACIP determines which vaccines are covered by major insurers. Replacing career civil servants w/political appointees (or disbanding ACIP altogether) will reduce access for *millions of Americans*
