It’s remarkable how many colleges have closed Jewish Studies programs over the last few years but we keep getting told that anti-genocide protesters are the threat to Jewish futures

Notice the pattern?
Most of them or all of them were stealing from Medicaid.

But it’s all about waste, fraud, and abuse, right?
We are literally being robbed blind by these criminals….

The Trump-Epstein International Crime Syndicate

We were told the Epstein saga ended in a jail cell. But a new digital autopsy of three million leaked files reveals a global syndicate that didn't just survive—it allegedly moved into the White House.

On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamilla’s medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being “served food that contained worms.”

A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.

The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.

The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.

But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

Not surprised. There are some people who are so deeply racist that they cannot wrap their heads around Black excellence. Gladys Mae West is a pioneer and STEM icon. Her story should inspire us all. It's sad some people cannot see past skin pigmentation.

Over 500 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the beginning of the "ceasefire". The genocide has been so normalised, that it barely catches headlines anymore. This must stop. There must be a full embargo.

Staten Island woman arrested for string of hate crime attacks in Bay Ridge, including assault of 12-year-old girl Megan Horne, 34, allegedly made anti-Muslim remarks while assaulting the girl and two women in three separate incidents on Jan. 30.

I am very angry about this, not least because the perp doesn’t even live here. Tourist racism.

Conspiracy theorists have damaged our ability to respond to actual conspiracies.

Since July, I've tracked at least 2,300 cases in which federal judges have ruled ICE has illegally detained people without bond or due process.

This is one that stands out:

Israel has cleared the final hurdle to begin construction on the E1 settlement project near Jerusalem that would split the occupied West Bank in two. The project has been under consideration for more than two decades but had been put on hold due to U.S. pressure.
