Replying to @ADL @elonmusk
19 year old student says 'Free Palestine' Antisemitic! Musk backs Germany's AfD and antisemitic replacement theories. Buys Twitter so Nazis load at the top. Sieg Heils multiple times. Give him the benefit of the doubt! The @ADL has one job. But @JGreenblattADL can't do it.

Over the years, I’ve meet many folks in the recovery community — people on their own journey and families changed forever by substance use disorder. This legislation makes it clear that when we reject stigma and approach treatment as the healthcare it is, recovery is possible.

Netanyahu has so skillfully married his identity with that of Israel’s so that any ‘attack’ on him is treated as an attack on the people and the state itself. Today proves that some are unable to see through that scam. Being ‘pro-Israel’ is not being pro-Bibi. It’s the opposite.

It's been a week. I'm not going to write about Hannah Arendt and Trump. At a conference this past weekend, I said, I think it's time to put her back on the shelf. History may help illuminate the present but only a new way of thinking can change the direction we're heading in now.

If Democrats told us this was an election for our democracy, then why are they now just saying "Eh, wait for 4 years and we will win again."

"Let them feel it this time, they'll learn from the consequences of their actions." As someone who has read a lot of Jewish history, let me just say that people often *don't* learn the lesson you want them to and *do* violently blame minorities when everything goes wrong.
