“The Gaza solidarity encampments that sprang up around the US in response to the one at Columbia represented the most successful voluntary collaboration between Muslim and Jewish students taking place anywhere in the world. If university administrations claimed it was necessary to destroy them in order to ‘keep the peace,’ this reveals what they mean by peace.”

One year ago today, students established an encampment at Columbia in solidarity with Gaza.
Donald Trump and his supporters claim that the camp was a hotbed of antisemitism. Anyone who visited knows that this is a lie. Who brutalized Jewish students at Columbia? The police did, to punish them for opposing genocide.
The Gaza solidarity encampments that sprang up around the US in response to the one at Columbia represented the most successful voluntary collaboration between Muslim and Jewish students taking place anywhere in the world. If university administrations claimed it was necessary to destroy them in order to "keep the peace," this reveals what they mean by peace.
In seeking to crush solidarity organizing and smear Jewish anti-Zionists as antisemitic, paving the way for Trump to deport students on account of their beliefs in order to suppress all dissent, the university administrations showed that centrism is not an alternative to authoritarianism, but a means of bringing it to power.
Horrifically, the genocide in Gaza continues today. Free Palestine.

Are you sick of matzoh yet?
Nothing separates Jew from goy quite like the phrase "Easter ham."
I make this joke every year because it's true every year.
Ending Zionist control of Jewish narratives is an antifascist imperative. I really appreciate this action and the depth of coverage here.

It's Tax Day. The stakes are high as Trump and Musk’s DOGE are firing thousands at the IRS, making it easier for the wealthy to cheat on their taxes and robbing us of revenue that could fund child care, education, health care, and more.
Meanwhile, Republican leaders in Congress are putting billionaires first in their budget blueprint by cutting critical basic needs programs like Medicaid and SNAP. And for what?
So they can pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

See who wins and who loses in the current budget fight, and what a brighter future could look like if the tax code prioritized women and children.
More Tax Cuts for Billionaires? Not on our Watch.
With the Senate and House’s recent passage of the Republican budget resolution, Congress moves a step closer to sending a bill to Trump’s desk that will decimate Medicaid, food assistance, and more critical basic needs programs—all to give tax breaks to billionaires.

I finally wrote my reading reflection for The Slave by Isaac Bashevis Singer, which I read a couple of months ago. It is a beautiful book, sad, haunting. I’m glad I read it. Of course, the whole time I was reading it I was thinking about Jews currently in captivity and how this seems to be an inescapable part of our history.

I left a piece of matzoh out last night.
Now it's all dry.
This year for #pesach, I've picked a theme song for each night of the 7 (or maybe 8) day holiday, very loosely riffing o. my feelings of rather day or what I'm hoping for today. most will not be "Jewish" persay but rather just songs that resonate with the holiday and the flow of the season.

Chag Pesach Sameach! If you had to pick one, what kind of Jew are you?
According to Rashi, the Plague of Frogs during Passover "was only one frog, but when they struck at it, it was split into many swarms."
So if you want a biblically accurate Seder, I suggest you get a frog piñata and fill it with frog shaped candies.
