I don't know why Trump's so upset. He's usually so into redacting his name.

yeah, so two things. first, i have been saying for some time that *this* is the message. and that it is a broad one that can fit a large number of concerns. and second, this dude has the juice.

What it all boils down to is whether we can get to Nuremberg this time without passing through Hiroshima and Auschwitz. It's really that simple.

#NoKings at San Francisco’s ocean beach — protesters joined to form a human banner saying Trump must go now.

It's weird how SCOTUS thinks states should determine who can get an abortion but not how people can vote

Bill has this exactly right; a military force of storm troopers acting lawlessly. Here in the U.S., not in a WWII German documentary.

Someone asked me, “If it’s 2025, why are y’all celebrating the year 5786?” I looked around to make sure nobody else was listening, leaned in close, and whispered, “Because Jews are from the future!” ...

I think that Gavin Newsom needs to start doing some YUGE rallies. At least 4 million tickets “sold” at each, even without BTS getting involved. the BIGGEST EVER with the most amazing merch. And hats. We need hats.

The most important thing to know about Trump’s manufactured crisis in DC is that his administration is still covering up what’s in the Epstein files.

What I can’t get over with the systemwide cover up of Epstein and Maxwell’s abuse of children is how they’re just getting started on rounding up people and sending them to gulags.

Narratively speaking, the tightest ending to this screenplay is probably the freed J6 protestors storming the White House to demand the release of the Epstein files.

The most sobering part about becoming 1930’s Germany is realizing that no one is going to come here and liberate those being brutalized. If this historically inhumane regime is going to be overthrown, We The American People are going to have to do it.

Fabulous. Also, a reporter’s question on the red carpet about whether he identifies with Jean Valjean or Javier is chef’s kiss way of asking if he even knows what the play is about. Spoiler: he doesn’t.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

Shabbat Shalom., #JewSky. To a better week, in which NOBODY WORKING FOR PEACE IS FUCKING SHOT DEAD IN THE STREET. My hope for the upcoming week: for Jews to feel safe, and for allies to come out of the woodworks. We know you’re there. Time to step it up.

Shabbat Shalom, #JewSky - can I kvell about my Mother’s Day present? Ticket to Philly, airport pickup and accommodation with dear friends, to see my favorite oboist (him) perform glorious music by my favorite composer (Bach) with the extraordinary Gamut Bach Ensemble. Bliss, seeing my kid at work!
