I've been discussing the uptick in #antisemitism w/ my kids. If yours are asking, you can tell them: #Judaism rejects the essentialism & hierarchies of the right + the relativism & universality of the left. We are existential threats to people who believe in these shibboleths.🧵

If you have friends or family who are thinking that #covid is the result of a lab leak--intentional or inadvertant--they are not following the best science. Treat their claims with utmost skepticism. And point them here: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/ Key passage ⬇

Bret Stephens and other conservatives are hawking a new study that supposedly says mask mandates are useless. Anyone who actually reads it will draw the opposite conclusion.

My fellow Jews: today is a day of love. Our love for our family and our community. Love of our rituals and the philosophy and theology behind them. Love for the melodies that resonate in our synagogues and the silent songs that never escape our hearts. It is not a #DayOfHate.

These two. #dogs

We fought with General Washington and marched with Dr. King. We proudly serve in the Senate and House of Representatives as both Democrats and Republicans. We are an integral thread in the American tapestry. We are not a threat. And we are not afraid.

Surging egg prices mean record profits for largest US egg producer | CNN Business

A spike in egg prices has squeezed customers. But even with rising costs of its own, the leading US egg supplier has found that it can make even more money out of every egg.
