This tickled me: "New York City public schools have adopted a new holiday: Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. Students will have a day off... The reaction of my friend Vivek Dave: “A day off from school is very un-Indian. I would push for an extra day of learning"

Haven’t made a fundraising ask all month. Meanwhile my Corp funded opponent loaned himself $1M😐

Y’all—we can’t afford to fall behind. $5 or $500, can we earn 100 quick donors tonight to catch up?

Let’s win this election with 100% people funding. Donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/qasi

I know I shouldn’t feed the trolls, but sometimes I just can’t help myself.

To be clear, Trump has already been found liable for fraud. That is not the issue in this hearing. The issue is, as I understand it, how much money he owes to people he defrauded. So he should be trying to minimize damage, not proudly advertising how little he cared about accuracy.

@charliejane Tapley really gives herself away when she says that Witter is "fighting [Moms for Liberty] actively", as if she thinks that's somehow criminal.

I know they *wish* it were criminal to disagree with them, but it isn't *yet*. You'd better believe librarians and other freedom-loving people are fighting Moms for Liberty — we can see they want to make it illegal to fight them, and we're not going to let that happen!

Bullies always wish their victims would just roll over.

You couldn't make this up: an antisemite accidentally commits a hate crime against a group of antisemites. In Indianapolis, a woman thought a Radical Hebrew Israelite school – a group that is antisemitic, anti-LGBTQ, misogynistic, etc. – was an "Israel school" (i.e., Jewish school) so she drove her car into it.

Just today's reminder that Jewish people and facilities are indeed being targeted. (And even if another group hates me, I don't want their kids hurt.)

Consider this your periodic reminder that Reagan thought having an educated populace was a bad thing, and that’s why higher education is so fucking expensive in the US.

It wasn’t always this way. We could—and should—demand better.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: Republican voters are sick and tired of Republicans because they never do anything... Republicans say all this garbage... Americans feel Republicans in Congress completely fail them

If the Trump lawyers are having these many issues in a civil trial, imagine how they’re going to handle a criminal one.

⬆️ #Iran does NOT want the #MiddleEast crisis resolved in a peaceful manner.

That's why calls for #ceaseFire and calls for a political or diplomatic solution are so vacuous.

Like #Nazi, full & #final destruction of #Jews & #Israel is the stated goal of Iran's #theocracy and #Hezbollah + allied militant groups.

These are two #religions and #cultures on a collision course, and #Russia is an opportunist that is using this crisis now to further its own revanchist efforts in #Ukraine.

Given how Trump has essentially admitted to cooking the books in loan valuations on his Aberdeenshire golf course while on trial for fraud in the US, will the Scottish Government now be opening a full investigation and asking the NYAG to co-operate with the Scottish Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service?

If there were to be any proof that God does not exist, it would be that Trump put his hand on a Bible and he did not burst into flames.

Particularly when talking about campus politics, media treat "#Jewish" as if it were synonymous with "pro-Israel"--despite polling that finds 38% of US Jews under 40 agreeing that “#Israel is an apartheid state,” and 33% believing it is committing genocide against #Palestinians.

"When my grandmother arrived here, after the Holocaust, the Jewish Agency promised her a house [..] They then took her to Ajami, in Jaffa, to a beautiful beach house. She saw that on the table there were still the dishes of the Arabs who lived there and who had been kicked out. So she went back to the agency and said, take me back to the tent, I will never do to anyone else what was done to me [..] How could we have become what we opposed?"

By all accounts the recording was terrible in terms of quality/audibility.

#Trump cont’d bashing #Forbes. He was all over the place, but among the things he said were:
Forbes is, 1) owned by China, 2) owned by Russia, 3) is out of business or 4) all of the above.

#Engoron mostly backed off attempts trying to reign trump’s testimony in, he let NYAG #Wallace deal w/ Trump how he wanted.

#NYAG: Why did you have the statements of financial condition prepared…2011-2017"

Talk to parents, teachers, school nurses and counselors, young people.

They’ll tell you there’s a serious youth mental health crisis happening right now in this country.

We've made the largest investment in school-based mental health ever because no one should face this alone.
