In the immortal words (sorta) of Muhammad Ali “"I ain't got no quarrel with those Venezuelans."
Trump is hurtling us toward a completely unnecessary war with Venezuela without congressional approval because his polling numbers are at historic lows, and he's decided the lives of young women and men in our military are justifiable collateral as a PR strategy.

Randy Fine. Tommy Tuberville. Vickie Paladino. The Republican party of Lincoln, Eisenhower, even McCain, would be horrified to see what they have become. They are not sending their best people. We condemn their Islamophobic rhetoric and call on all people to do so.

A deeply sad morning, with heartbreaking mass killings in Providence & Sydney.

Innocent students killed in a classroom. At least 11 people by gunmen at a Hanukkah celebration.

Too many guns here. Frightening levels of antisemitism globally. So much senseless violence & hate.

"It is time for political leaders around the world to treat antisemitism with the urgency and seriousness it demands — not as a political football, but as a real and present threat," said @hadarsusskind.bsky.social, President and CEO of @newjewishnarrative.bsky.social.

I’m on vacation and very intentionally not looking at news much. But I woke up to see the horror of the terror attack at the Hanukkah celebration in Australia.

Our world is so broken. No one, not Jews, not Israelis, nor anyone else, should be targeted simply for being who they are.

The job of an elected official is not just to say "I stand with Israel." It is also sometimes to speak uncomfortable truths.

I've known @vanhollen.senate.gov for 25 years. I've seen him learn about and grapple with the complex realities of Israel and Palestine and the surrounding issues. I've been with him as he has spoken to Israelis, Palestinians, and his own Jewish constituents.
