The Talmud teaches that anyone who sustains one soul, has sustained an entire world. For generations, Jewish New Yorkers have sustained our city. Today, we are launching the first-ever municipal Strategy to Combat Antisemitism.

Someone in Cherelle Parker's office is actually recording the number of people calling them regarding the Academy of Natural Science's closure. I did this during my afternoon walk and raised a talking point I never got to discuss at City Hall: Port Kennedy Bone Cave 🧵

Proud to work at the @inquirer.com, where today our entire five-page Opinion section is about the many ways Trump’s White House has become a house of corruption. The Inquirer is keeping Freedom of the Press alive in the city where it was founded. But that’s not all! 🧵

A good read on the the state of the academy as it stands today. We're in a pivotal moment right now. The academy board must accept the bridge funding or find another way to keep the museum open immediately. neighborhoodfundamentals.substack.com/p/the-academ...

The Academy Has an Offer. Does It Have the Authority to Take It?

A year of funding is on the table. What's unresolved is who actually gets to decide.

El and Subway trains every 3-4 minutes, and Regional Rail trains every 15 minutes, would revolutionize Philly’s system. People will ditch cars/Ubers when the service is that regular and reliable.

If you're still consciously using this language after the level of persecution immigrants have gone through in countless US cities (and think you can cleanly separate them from so-called "transplants") then I don't know what to say

Philly and Pittsburgh's project should be to achieve this much concentration in our lifetimes, or Harrisburg will continue to hold transportation and urban policies hostage. Relying on flipping exurban districts blue to get a razor-thin majority isn't great!

Greetings, non-Jews in academia! As we start another semester, here's your regularly scheduled reminder that the Jewish High Holy Days are coming up. If you wouldn't schedule an important meeting or exam on Christmas or Easter, don't schedule one on Rosh Hashana or Yom Kippur.

Yeah, so as the 'academic freedom is important and in the past there has existed a from-the-left chilling effect on campuses'...this ain't that. UGhent is saying this guy just didn't do the work he was hired to do and instead was doing turbo-racism and...yeah, that's gonna get him fired. Buh-bye.
