This is how I’m observing Yom HaZikaron - with a joint ceremony of Israelis and Palestinians seeking peace. You can watch ceremony on the Facebook pg @combatantsforpeace .

Lookit things are hard & painful in so many dimensions right now. HOWEVER it’s imperative that we look around to see the beauty that is in front of us & breathe that in, too.

Our poppies are blooming & my herb seeds are growing & I say, This, Too

to everyone. May peace come soon.

I usually love the podcast Unorthodox, but I was shocked at Liel Leibovitz's monologue about the campus protests.

I was shocked because he moved the issue from antisemitism, demonstrating the issues of discrimination and hatred clearly to what I can only describe as right wing nut-jobbery, praising hate-filled people like Ron DeSantis.

I was even more shocked, and dismayed, that this monologue seemed to be not only allowed, but tied directly to Tablet's membership campaign.

For Jews like me who are absolutely appalled at the hatred coming from these campus protests and left-leaning movements, it might seem attractive to give in to the most base elements of our psyche and "jump ship", but doing so ignores not only our own struggle, but that of others we care about, Queer folks, Black folks, and other marginalized people.

@TonyStark @serge sickening. That’s all I can say. Right wing republicans are not our friends. (Hi Tony!)

@TonyStark @serge I had major back surgery 6 weeks ago so I’ve been in recovery from that and not on social media. So nice to see you too.

@serge @TonyStark thank you everyone. And thank you for the encouragement to take the time I need because of course my tendency is to overdo it the second I feel better. I’m on the upswing but oh my - it’s been quite the journey. It’s nice to be back in the “land of the living” Shabbat Shalom

Via Kyle Griffin:

This morning at 7:31, ripped Judge Merchan online — before it was public that Stormy Daniels would be testifying — saying, "I have just recently been told who the witness is today. This is unprecedented … No Judge has ever run a trial in such a biased and partisan way."

After about 20 minutes, the post was deleted.

“Republican Rep. Ken Buck of , a hardline conservative who has clashed with his own party at times, said Tuesday that he will leave Congress before the end of his term.

“Today, I am announcing that I will depart Congress at the end of next week,” Buck said…departure from the House will shake up the chamber’s partisan breakdown, where Republicans control only a very narrow majority”

"Mrs Justice Steyn threw out the case against Orbis... consultancy founded by former MI6 officer Christopher Steele, last month.
She found that 's compensation claim was "bound to fail"...also ordered Trump to pay Orbis's costs "of the entire claim"... Trump has made no attempt to bring an appeal.

Mr Steele, who previously ran the Secret Intelligence Service's Russia desk, was the author of the so-called Steele dossier." https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-68499543

This poll from the NY Times demonstrates better than anything I've seen lately how thoroughly journalism has botched its job -- to inform the public about actual reality as opposed to giving equal weight to lies and thereby helping make the lies what the public then believes.

We're screwed.

@dangillmor I am so upset by this headline and how the NYT is covering this election & trump like it’s normal. Which it isn’t.

Per L.A. Times, it’ll be Schiff vs Garvey in Calif.

I’m a Porter voter, will obviously support Schiff in the general, but Garvey shouldn’t even be in this damn race. He’s awful.
