I’m so disgusted by what I just witnessed. In Amsterdam, Israelis & Jews leaving a soccer match were beaten unconscious by mobs, thrown in the river, and forced to say “free Palestine.” This is the direct result of normalizing antisemitism post Oct. 7, where the most flagrant acts of Jew-hatred were cast aside as just “bleeding hearts who are against the war.” Remind me again how these are all just kind people who care about humanity. If you can’t bring yourself to speak up now—after failing the Jewish community for the past year with silence and/or by insisting that “globalize the intifada” was anything other than a dogwhistle to harass Jews around the world—you have no right to call yourself a humanitarian.

Your Jewish friends are not doing ok right now. Even the ones who have spent years steeped in the conflict and who have been fighting for peace & human rights for all. The epigenetic trauma of seeing Jews pulled from their homes, kidnapped, & killed — it’s real. 1/

Uber driver: "Heading to work? What do you do?" Me: "I'm organizing an event to prevent euthanasia and encourage hope." Uber driver: "My dad actually had MAID. It hasn't even been a year. I supported it since that's what he wanted and he was terminal. But let me tell you: it's the most fucked up thing knowing your dad is going to die in 7 days, then 5 days, then 1 day, then in 15 minutes." The Uber driver and I continued to chat for a bit. He thanked me for the conversation, said he hasn't gotten over watching his dad be killed, and that his position on MAID has become complicated by what he and his family experienced. #cdnpoli #assisteddying #euthanasia #MAID

Today I’m hearing all of the good old boys and girls saying if you don’t like Jason Aldean you don’t have to listen to him. Gotcha. And if you don’t like certain library books you don’t have to ban them ‘cause you ain’t going to read them.

WATCH >> Ron DeSantis defends new curriculum that will teach children how slaves *benefited* from slavery. "They're probably going to show some of the folks that eventually parlayed, you know, being a blacksmith into, into doing things later in life."

The thing about “debate me” bros wanting to debate scientists is that you can’t effectively argue with a professional public arguer without becoming a public professional arguer, and most scientists are (and should be) professional scientists.

A group of mostly black friends and family were gathered to support their friends running in the Bost Marathon, at Mile 21 Newton, MA, When they got unexpected company. The local police surrounded the group, blocking them with their bicycles turned longways.

My son got to work as an extra on set. After kissing him goodnight that night and turning off the light: Son: Hey daddy? Me: Yeah baby? (beat) Son: Coruscant is real. I’ve been there. Me (teary eyed): Yes you have baby. Best day of my life. Thank you Star Wars Universe 🙏🏽

no doubt there have been some growing pains and still some adjustments left to come but it's sure been great not seeing this after a batter takes the first pitch without a swing

This again goes to the point I want to keep making, the new pitch clock puts pitchers in control of game pace in a way they weren't before. Hitters get one timeout per AB, otherwise, they have to be ready to hit.
Max Scherzer, Pitch Clock Gamesmanship. Long hold. Adams takes his only time out. Then Max stays set so he can pitch as soon as Adams is ready.

First, a lot of the folks we've lost were BABIES. Literal babies. They deserve to be honored and remembered because they had no time to create this legacy you speak of. Also, this comes off HELLA elitist. As if people who have been to jail, been drunk, whatever, aren't of value.
🧵 I'm 40, never been to jail, never been stoned or drunk, married to one woman, a father of 2, & a medical doctor who's helped support/mentor disenfranchised blacks boys but I'd be forgotten in a week by the "black" community if I died tomorrow unless I was shot by a cop unarmed

People are like “why would Angela Davis be shocked she descended from colonizers.” There’s a difference between logically knowing & learning specifically who raped your ancestors & when; & finding out the names of your ancestors who endured that. This is trauma we talking about
“Do you know what you’re looking at? That is a list of the passengers on the Mayflower.” Our researchers discovered #AngelaDavis’s ancestors traveled to the US on the Mayflower and here is her reaction. #FindingYourRoots

TU admin thinks that 5 (or maybe even 10, if they're being "generous") days of parental leave is enough. We disagree. Graduate student workers who are parents or will become one - we're with you and your families ✊ #TUGSAstrike #TempleUnionMade
