Yesterday, a man asked me on behalf of his daughter how do I respond to people who wld label me an angry Black woman. I said I'd say: You're right. Anger is a perfectly normal emotion right now. We have to stop being so concerned abt civility in response to uncivil circumstances.

That is, indeed, what’s happening.

.Jewish Dems has as much authority to invoke the legacy of Nazism and the collapse of the Weimar Republic as ADL. It is a travesty that in the face of an ascendant fascist movement, ADL is spending its political capital policing Jews highlighting the threats to our democracy.

I'm watching the acceleration of attacks on democracy by the hour, and my NPR station is broadcasting a program on Halloween costumes for dogs.

Can’t be.

If Democrats don't come out and flood the Sunday news programs and media outlets about the threat of MAGA violence in light of the attack on Pelosi it's just political incompetence at this point and also an utter failure to warn and mobilize people ahead of the midterms.

Last year, a GOP Congressman shared a depiction of himself killing me. When the House rose to censure, Kevin McCarthy defended him.

Yesterday, a man sharing that member’s rhetoric tried to assassinate the Speaker and her spouse.

What has Kevin McCarthy said? Nothing. This is who he is.

One of those murdered that night was Moyshe Kulbak, a Yiddish poet and writer, who had then recently published “The Zelmenyaners”—a great novel about Minsk. There is a chapter about him in my new book bit.ly/SovietJewBook and English translation of the novel is also available.

#Mariupol . We stood by while this happened. 114,000+ dead. 1000 people died a day while Russia locked the doors and erased these lives. “It’s not what you preach, it’s what you tolerate.” -Jocko Willink US Navy SEAL (ret)

“If China invaded US - hypothetically - leveled LA, leveled Seattle, Portland, massacred thousands - would US just sue for peace? No.”

Best explainer of what is wrong with the whole “peace deal with russia” idea

Yeah. Jewish Institute for Liberal Values is an outfit hovering between outright right-wing & right-adjacent—all while cosplaying as a “liberal” group concerned about “CRT” (which it calls something else) in a “just asking questions” manner. And headed by a “debate me!” bro who gets upset when you don’t.

For every extra $1 you’re paying due to inflation, 54¢ is going right into the pockets of big corporations. Wall Street is price gouging families to earn sky-high profits, jeopardizing our entire economy in the process.

The Henry Ford of our time, just like Jonathan Greenblatt said of Musk—yeah, like Ford, turning Twitter into Dearborn Independent. ADL, give your CEO the boot so you can actually fight antisemitism like you’re supposed to.
