I truly think that we are living a unique moment in history because the rapidity and volume with which Jew-hatred is being expressed on social media platforms exacerbates the problem. Since October 7, 2023, I have been privy to a level of Jew-hatred that is difficult to fathom. It comes from the progressive Left, from the ultra Right, and from Islamic sources. Each group utilizes a different set of tropes but all share diabolical, orgiastic, and hateful foaming of the evil Jew. It is unrestrained all-consuming genocidal hate. There is nothing that one can say that softens the hate. Nothing that allows for a moment to pause. Even if every one of the voices spewing these hateful positions were to fall silent, the cat is out of the bag. You may think that you are untouched by these realities because you are not Jewish. But please heed my warnings. Those who are capable of such positions are not those whom you want to be leading our once enlightened societies. We are all collectively going to pay an extraordinarily high price for the current realities. I say this without any malice in my heart. I share this because I want our grandchildren to have a better world than the one that we currently have. My moral compass is not driven by tribalism. It is solely shaped by a commitment to deontological ideals that have historically made the West the wondrous envy of all societies. We are losing these ideals at a breathtaking pace. The civilizational price is going to be incalculable. I wish everyone a good night.
A MUST-READ thread for anyone who'd like to be informed with real facts about abortion.
I recently was quoted by @NPR in response to a pro-life OBGYN. Not all of information I discussed was shared so here are all my responses - get ready - this is a long 🧵

Terrifying and outrageous. PLEASE, everyone, read @louise_p_king's entire thread about this horrific @NPR interview. She brilliantly presents all of the REAL evidence about abortion that we ALL need to know to be informed.
That our highest court does not respect the expertise of scientists and health care professionals including its own Committee on Reproductive Health Services of the National Academy of Sciences is terrifying.

This is the KEY. Dr. Francis is indeed intentionally twisted evidence. Look at who's dying-- the US has one of the worst maternal mortality rates because of our uniquely rabid systemic racism and anti-Blackness. NOT because abortion is (was) legal! LUDICROUS!
Most importantly, our abysmal maternal mortality rate in the US is in large part a result of lack of preventative care and of systemic racism. I’ll say that again – our maternal mortality rate is high because of systemic racism. insider.com/dr-chaniece-wall…
You are right to expect better from @npr. The misinformation laid out in this interview is outrageous!
It's exhausting responding to this type of intentional intellectual dishonesty. I expected better from @NPR than to let this comment stand without refutation.
First Malta and Poland have very different maternal mortality rates. macrotrends.net/countries/PO…

This is so well said. It just blows my mind that we could go backwards this far in time, consistent w how backwards these majority Supreme Court justices are. The fact is that this would *NEVER* happen to men but apparently it’s perfectly fine for women. Anything but just.

Ugh! Fruit/veggies w highest pesticides: strawberries, kale, & collards. The remainder of the top 12: nectarines, apples, grapes, peppers, cherries, peaches, pears, celery, and tomatoes. These r the ones to buy organic!

This is incredibly important! It’s Black Maternal Health Week & as we all work to find ways to reduce the unconscionable racial disparity in Black infant mortality, here’s data to back up what Black women have been saying for years! #listentoblackwomen washingtonpost.com/health/bl…

These barriers are real and heartbreaking. And we know babies do better when they can feel their moms/dads near them. And imagine the stress on the parents, if having a child in the NICU wasn’t enough. We need a barrier removal fund for NICU parents!

Tech can be an *extraordinarily* powerful force for good when leaders take action toward being on the right side of history & do the right thing.
“What’s particularly promising is that what we’re seeing from Ukrainians is the antidote to Russian agitprop — and it’s winning,” writes @karaswisher. nyti.ms/3vGBuuf
A full HALF of my family (my grandparents/aunts/uncles) were murdered in the Holocaust & my dad survived being hunted for 4yrs (12-16yo) by living in the forest & lugging around his only 2 surviving baby bros. This WILL turn into another genocide. How much is too much?!?
That yet more innocent blood has been spilled at Babyn Yar, where tens of thousands lost their lives during the Holocaust is an unspeakable tragedy. We pray for the souls of those lost there today and for every precious life taken in the name of this appalling war.

The 8th graders @stceciliasf have been making cards for the babies @UCSFChildrens @UCSFNeo since they themselves could write. As they are set to graduate, they send their last inspirational love notes to the Intensive Care Nursery. We are giddy to deliver them today!
