Trump’s latest target? The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, one of America’s last truly wild places. His administration just announced plans to open it up for oil and gas drilling, turning 1.56 million acres of pristine wilderness (home to polar bears, caribou, and migratory birds)

SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities. n.pr/48PNNIt

Hey, I don’t tell you who to vote for for Mayor where you live, don’t be telling me who to vote for where I live. NYC will decide for itself. And we are not inclined to vote for a corrupt sexual abuser endorsed by Donald Trump, Eric Adams, billionaires and real estate interests.

There is a full-on push in NYC right now to use "Mamdani doesn't make Jews 'feel safe'" as a cudgel to get Cuomo into office, and it is utterly disgusting. You know what makes me feel unsafe? People who casually characterize us as a trembling single-issue monolith scared of the big bad Muslim.

Ignore all laws about altering historic properties ✅
Pave over Rose Garden for tacky Mar-A-Lardo Patio ✅
Demolish East Wing after lying that "It won't interfere with the current building. It'll be near it but not touching it" ✅
Build gaudy $250M Ballroom as public struggles financially ✅

People who bully people with less power…

Reject the smears!

Sukkot: SITTING IN EMPTINESS

On Sukkot, we sit in the sukkah:
In an empty room
Porous walls
Holes in the ceiling
No door

And we feel the same:
No hope
Unprotected
Everything bad gets in
And literally, no exit…….

A BLESSING FOR THOSE LEFT BEHIND

Baruch atah Adonai
Brucha at Shechina
Blessed One-ness
Bringing connection when there is separation,
Remembering joy even when we cannot….

CLEAN DIRT: For Tashlich

Every Fall
The park makes twigs
And leaves and dirt and dead bugs and bird poop.
It's part of the yearly cycle
Like Rosh Hashanah.
Debris and leftovers,
Just normal stuff
It's all around us
Can't be avoided
It's in the wind
It's life.

A PRAYER FOR ENDURANCE

Blessed Wholeness,
It is an ancient evil:
Limited power seeking absolute power,
Destroying truth and compassion
As it goes.
It is upon us to resist if we can
And survive somehow
Until it goes.
And it will go…..
