As a Jewish person, I wish I could spend this week grieving and mourning. But the Israeli government is weaponizing our grief to enact a second Nakba, killing thousands and displacing millions. I can make time to grieve while also working to stop ethnic cleansing.

To recap: Police claim they shoot unarmed black children because they "fear for their lives" but police also claim they do not shoot armed gunmen killing children because they "fear for their lives."

.@CDCDirector @CDCgov the hands off approach to #COVID19 isn't working.I know more ppl infected now than I have this entire pandemic...at what pt do u admit we need to reinstate indoor masking/risk mitigations? Pretending this isn't happening isn't working for most of the country

Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there arenât 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.

For all those removing mask mandates, I repeat a graphic I've been using since March 2020. We keep doing this over and over and over.

ALT Graph of new cases against time. Red line: business as usual. Green line: with prevention and precaution efforts. The two lines coincide up to a point labled âEfforts start working,â when the green line starts to go down. Shortly after that is a purple marker labeled âWarning! We are close toâ with an arrow pointing to âSee? It wasnât so bad. We overreacted,â which delineates a blue box low in the ânew casesâ space. The green line goes down in the blue box to a minimum labeled in red âWe did it!! Letâs stop this and return to normal.â From that point, the green line turns red and goes up as fast as the other red one. Provenance of the graphic not known.
