Build the Bund. Buy a magazine.
We clipped my sermon about hope from @thebugle.bsky.social if you want to enjoy and share it and my dopey face: www.instagram.com/reel/DXUrVZ8...
The people who can't perform basic management of a school district want you to believe they are capable of making sound decisions about closing schools and laying off school employees.
All I want for Easter is to build the Bund.
This is now a Jewish Labor Bund/
@mollycrabapple.bsky.social stan account. It fills my heart to see a tradition come alive of Jewish socialist antizionists.
Dorsey wants to evict people from PSH for using… because it’s better when they overdose on the street? Such a cruel argument.
Yes. Yes he is free.
Here's a handy test--there are 2 mistakes one can make when faced with a rape allegation about someone else. One is that the allegation is false and you overreacted & the other is that the allegation is true and you underreacted.
I can live with myself making the 1st mistake but not the 2nd one. 2/2
For people skeptical of the allegations against Swalwell, first of all, there are plenty of solid Democratic candidates. Is it too much to ask for one who hasn't been accused of rape?

Get in everyone, we're defeating fascism all over the world.
As we await Hungary's election both for the liberation of its people and as portent for our own, let us recall the role that ridicule, resistance and refusal has played. Yes, elections can be turning points but only if movements make them so.
Not all heroes wear capes.
This weeks episode of @thebugle.bsky.social podcast was needed for my mental health. Spending time with the brilliant and hilarious @alicefraser.bsky.social and Zaltz is a salve. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
It might be confusing for non-Jews, but you may not be aware that the Hebrew word for "ceasefire" literally translates as "not ceasefire, anything but a ceasefire."
We love to see it.
It's always worth reading what @stephenlerner.bsky.social has to say!
I don't often tear up listening to @hellobuglers.bsky.social but @natogreen.bsky.social talking about hope managed it.
Magnificent, and thank you
Imagine what a different world we would be living in if we always acted like everyone should be opposed to mass murder.
A civilization is not destroyed by wicked people; it is not necessary that people be wicked but only that they be spineless.
Apropos of nothing, thinking of James Baldwin today.
#SederInTheStreets! On Pesach, NYC Jews against ICE, “praying with our feet” as Rabbi Heschel would say.
Guess I’ll never get to do a late night set.
Pass Prop D to fund city services!
I am generally tired of the cottage industry of national and international publications dropping people into San Francisco to write clumsy commentaries about us that confirms their priors. "You might think San Francisco is progressive and groovy but it actually sucks because..."
Newsom at least was mostly surrounded by old school Brown-Burton machine operatives who knew and cared how government worked, whereas Lurie is surrounded by McKinsey vultures.
Hi San Francisco here, our mayor is a billionaire who only talks to cops and rich people. He’s an austerity ghoul. If anything it confirms the belief that crime rates are cyclical and not related to any particular policy.
Maybe diverting all of our police resources to torturing people experiencing homelessness and disappearing them into black sites for involuntary "treatment" isn't the winning strategy we were told it would be.
The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
Why don’t you come say that to my face?
No really, I prefer in person social interactions.
