So, I have googled and it turns out that each of the sprouts if rooted and planted will turn into an onion bulb. You have to separate the layers. I did that and discovered three distinct sprouts. One was already rooting inside the onion.

I feel like this onion really wants to live. Should I plant it somewhere? I don't know anything about planting onions!

This Is What Trump Does When His Revolution Sputters His military deployment in Los Angeles follows a long, disturbing tradition.

“The logic of revolution often traps revolutionaries: They start out thinking that the task will be swift and easy," @anneapplebaum.bsky.social writes. But "at each obstacle, after each catastrophe, the turn to violence becomes that much swifter, the harsh decisions that much easier."

Don't be grateful two hostages' bodies were recovered. Be furious Judi Weinstein Haggai and her husband, Gadi Haggai, were killed on Oct. 7. Their bodies were just recovered from Gaza. But that's not closure.

The Jewish museum event and the rally in Boulder *were* more political events than Jewish ones, but if you consider either of them compelling targets for political violence it seems like a very short jump to going after synagogues that fly Israeli flags, or Jewish day schools that celebrate Israel.

What happens when you dehumanize 'Zionists' If all Zionists are Nazis, as some activists claim, then there’s little to distinguish an elderly Holocaust survivor rallying for Israeli hostages from an IDF soldier in Gaza.

I wrote about how equating Zionists with Nazis, and then classifying anyone with some degree of attachment to Israel as a "Zionist," places the vast majority of American Jews in your crosshairs.

So there's no antisemitism problem...as long as Jews don't work for communal organizations, express concern for the fate of other Jews, go to Jewish places, or wear any visible signs of being Jewish.

Got it.

It's weird to have to say this, but antisemitism is always and exclusively the fault of antisemites. It's not a reasonable but misguided or disproportionate response to something else.

two people carrying signs HELP ME KEEP MY HUSBAND HERE HE IS A REFUGEE FACING DEATH IN GERMANY HE'S TOO YOUNG TO DIE I'M TOO YOUNG TO BE A WIDOW please SIGN PETITIONS SHOOT ME I AM A REFUGEE I DONT WANT TO BE TORTURED TO DEATH BY HITLER I'LL BE DEPORTED to GERMANY!

The only path forward is one that rejects the false binaries of the conflict and of our security — instead recognizing that Israeli & Palestinian dignity & freedom are intertwined, as is the safety of Jews and each and every other community.

Meanwhile, the impacts here at home are also ongoing, including last week’s horrific and deadly antisemitic shooting in DC. Antisemitism, anti-Arab hate, and Islamophobia have all increased significantly over the past 600 days.

600 days ago today marked the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. The pain and trauma of that day have not subsided: hostages remain, the war is still ongoing, and innocent lives continue to be taken.

You can love Israel and still demand better from its leaders.

You can be a Zionist and still criticize the government.

In fact, the most Zionist thing you can do is use your voice to fight for peace, moral leadership, and a better future. These values are the very basis of Israel’s foundation.

yes, 100%, this...

We are horrified, angry, and heartbroken over the murders of two Israeli Embassy staff members in DC last night. Antisemitic hate inevitably leads to antisemitic violence and everyone has an obligation to speak out.

JCPA Statement on Shooting of Israeli Embassy Aides in Washington - Jewish Council for Public Affairs

Make no mistake: antisemitic hate inevitably leads to antisemitic violence. Anyone who claims to believe in the dignity & rights of all people has an obligation to name this shooting for what it is — vile & violent antisemitic terror — and to speak out against this increasingly-normalized bigotry.

I like living in a country with the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus.

This is so subtle.

And a small part of me worries that saying "Canadians are divided!" — at least unless it's justified — will actually promote unnecessary division.

I understand the appeal and potential relevance of claims that Canadians are deeply divided after this election, but I'd like to see evidence that goes deeper than the fact that different people — and different groups of people — voted for different parties.

“Does the president understand economics?”
@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social asks Kirsten Hillman, an economist and Canada’s ambassador to the U.S.

“I think the president has a very specific vision of what he’s trying to do in America,” she says.

Call it something fancy like "malfeasance" or something simple like "incompetence" but either way there should be articles of impeachment to remove the HHS secretary for being a shameless liar who is working relentlessly to make people sick.
