"We've always done it that way"

Is not an acceptable answer or justification.

So in Texas, you can now be arrested (along with your doctors) if you have a miscarriage and you can be arrested on site for "suspicion" of being "illegal" (meaning if you have brown skin).

A large amount of accounts on this platform seem to be too consumed with yelling at American Jews to even care about what’s going on here.

Given the alternative is authoritarian fascism… yes.

I’m all for putting pressure on candidates and trying to get better candidates, but it’s unlikely anyone on our side other than Bidenis going to win the next general election. Yes, we’re being held hostage, but not by the Dems.

Cydney Wallace, a Black Jewish community activist, never felt compelled to travel to Israel, though "Next year in Jerusalem" was a constant refrain at her Chicago synagogue.

The 39-year-old said she had plenty to focus on at home, where she frequently gives talks on addressing anti-Black sentiment in the American Jewish community and dismantling white supremacy in the U.S.

All the 'keep Christ in Christmas' folks trying to impose their backward theocratic rule on all of us might be surprised to learn the Puritans they regard as the true founders of this country BANNED Christmas altogether.

Any observation of the holiday, whether taking the day off or preparing a feast, came with a five shilling fine.

Ironically I think many Jews are like myself and would much prefer that Christians keep the Christ in Christmas and stop pretending that it's a secular holiday.

Immigrants built this country and make it great. Denounce the lie that immigrants are destroying America.

The GOP attitude that immigrants, anyone different or not white, must be the problem in America is a lie.

The people who want America to be only white and straight are xenophobic, homophobic, despisers of themselves.

At our roots, unless we're Native Americans, we all come from immigrant blood. The irony and hypocrisy is that they don't want Native Americans to be thriving here either.
