On Monday I was grateful to attend a Yizkor service organized by @jfrejnyc.bsky.social @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social Kolot Chaiyenu and others. I gave to givebutter.com/5787-tzedaka... in their honor and because forced famine goes against my Jewish values. Every life is sacred.

If you're a white guy who's craving community or looking for a pathway into tangible and sustained action, this is the place for you. If you've wished you had somewhere to send the white guys in your org who care but don't know where to start, this is that place.

screenshot of text reading:

"Some objected to the magazine’s use of the term genocide to describe Israel’s actions in Gaza. Close readers will recognize that this was not a decision specific to this series. This past fall, after an extensive review of genocide scholarship and interviews with multiple experts in the field of genocide studies, the magazine’s editors decided the term was an accurate description of the atrocities in Gaza, that accusations of antisemitic intent were in fact obfuscating an overwhelming ­scholarly consensus, and that its use would be allowed in our pages."

The irony of course is that Zionism was conceived as an answer to antisemitism, and most Jewish supporters still see it that way. But when you yoke the fortunes of a small, hyper-visible global minority to the actions of a belligerent pariah state, it can cause dangerous blowback

these people really want to make "racist" akin to a slur rather than what it is, a straightforward label for a set of beliefs and views. if you don't like the label because you, correctly, associate it with degenerate chuds, then get better beliefs

It really annoys me when we act like socialism or any collectivism is some strange alchemy only known to its high wizards. Marx SAW. He did not invent. People figure out collective action and class warfare by looking out their front door.

Private prisons making $1.4 billion charging corrupt ICE bureaucracy $307,000 “per bed” as top 15 cops in San Francisco make average of $700,000 is why shifting resources from systems of incarceration to systems of care is one of the most popular policies in 40 years of polling.

For years now, Dems and others who once cared about BLM and Black causes in general have quietly abandoned the cause. It was a defiance that was coded and hidden, in attempts to return to the status quo without being too obvious. Now it's just full throated, unabashed abandonment. Explicit.

I personally think it's more embarrassing to misunderstand and/or misrepresent the "defund" movement's demands than to support them. I refuse to feel ashamed for wanting to pour resources into care and life giving institutions instead of cages and killing.

THREAD. Contrary to what you are being told, 40 years of polling have established that shifting money away from police/prisons toward social services is one of the most popular public policies among *all* political demographics. But it's not just that, it goes way deeper.

THREAD. You should ask yourself who at the New York Times made the editorial decision to use the term "moderates" to describe a group of people who have some of the most factually indefensible and extreme position in the history of post World War II politics. And then ask why.

“At a moment when policymakers are seeking to understand America’s sluggish learning recovery, the loss of teachers and instability in schools deserves to be on the list of plausible contributors.” I left teaching in 2021. I miss it but can’t imagine going back
chalkbeat.org
A ‘lost generation’ of teachers left the classroom. Schools are still dealing with the consequences.
Veteran teachers left, principals cycled through too, and high-poverty schools likely faced the greatest strain. Here’s what years of churn did to classrooms.

Some people in NYC keep trying to raise the point that violent crime as measured by law enforcement is significantly lower than it has been in years. The public DOES NOT CARE overall and neither does local media. But when it's time to talk about crime "on the rise" then nothing else matters.
