Being a parent is hard enough w/o the extra anxiety b/c ppl don’t get crying is normal for children. I ✈️ with my 10 month old & 3 year old on 2 ✈️ this week (3.5 hrs & 14 hrs). Basically everyone was kind and helpful. Extra 🙏 the woman who played peekaboo with my baby.

As someone with a baby who needs to fly with said baby in the near future to see relatives who are a 5.5hr flight away looking at Twitter today has been pretty terrifying.

Davening with my kids at shul tonight is my resistance. Teaching my toddler to joyfully sing kiddush is my resistance. Watching my toddler stare mesmerized at the Havdalah flame & delight in the spices of Havdalah is my resistance. #WeWillOutliveThem #HavdalahAgainstHate

This Saturday night, we'll light havdalah candles for #HavdalahAgainstHate. Shabbat will end, but we are here & we're not going anywhere. Wherever you are, post a photo of your havdalah candle using this hashtag in celebration of our Jewish tradition, and in defiance of fascism.
Image of a white, lit havdalah candle against a black background. Large text reads "Havdalah Against Hate." Below, smaller text reads "Saturday, February 25, 2023. Hashtag Havdalah Against Hate."

PSA: neo-Nazis want images & videos of their antisemitic signs & flyers spread far & wide. Please do NOT amplify their activity. If you do share photos/videos to spread awareness, put a big ❌ over the propaganda & cross out all visible URLs. Don't send people to their websites.

Today Nancy Pelosi hands the gavel over to the GOP. If it weren't for the dysfunction of the NYS Dem Party, we wouldn't be here. Our local Dem leader, Jay Jacobs, takes our communities for granted while refusing to stand up for democracy. For that & more, Jay Jacobs has gotta go.
Lydia wears a pink blazer and black blouse and holds up a sign that says "Thanks to New York we lost the House. #NYDemsForDemocracy"

Hello. Young kids back in school are so sick right now. Everyone with a preschooler has an entire household of sleepless viral cough snot fevers for the past two months without a fucking break. So if you know a parent going through this, be kind and gently hit them with your car.

i imagine rivkah lying in bed beside her husband. they haven't been married for long, a few months maybe. they're still getting to know one another, learning the each other's likes and dislikes, favourite meals and least favourite members of avraham's household (1/8)

Kanye's recent antisemitic rhetoric is beyond the pale, evidenced by the fact that Neo-Nazis wasted no time in co-opting his message. Antisemitism has no place here & we must call it for what it is when we see it. We must stand up & protect our Jewish neighbors each & every day.

It takes on the ground work to end the homelessness crisis. Good to spend some time with the team at District 3 doing that vital service.

No organization can or should ever claim to represent all New York Jews in all our diversity. But we know that @jfrejnyc is firmly in the mainstream of US Jewish political opinion, and I’m sick of right-wing Jews claiming otherwise. So I wrote something: forward.com/opinion/514618

Three times, I had PROM--my membranes ruptured without me going into labor. (True story: I didn't go into labor until I was having my fourth kid.) The first time, I did all the natural midwifery things to induce labor: black and blue cohosh, castor oil (so much castor oil!),

New, untested abortion bans have made doctors unsure about treating some pregnancy complications. That's led to life-threatening delays, and trapped families in a limbo of grief and helplessness. n.pr/3PZHNjH

This is absurd! Pharmacies only take kids 3+. Not all pediatricians will have COVID vax or your vax type of choice. There is 1 f*ing city site in the entire Bronx - the borough hit hardest by COVID. This is NOT a vaccine roll-out plan. Shame on

PS 86 is losing $2,105,178 Kingsbridge International HS is losing $917,192 PS 24, PS 81, and RKA are losing a whopping $2,683,909 combined Numerous other schools in Council D11 will see substantial cuts I guess they didn’t “truly need” art teachers, science classes, etc 😬

Mayor Adams has unveiled his budget proposal. Unclear why
@NYCMayor
thinks it has historic investments in housing & homelessness. His proposal leaves us treading water, and leaves neediest NYers swimming upstream. Our report outlines the solutions: coalitionforthehomeless.org/state-of-the-h 🧵⬇️

AIPAC has now endorsed 109 of the 147 Republicans who refused to certify the 2020 election. They are running out of insurrectionists to support. The notion that defense of the US-Israel relationship requires acceptance of the degradation of American democracy is patently false.

AIPAC PAC
@aipacpac
Our goal is to make America’s friendship with Israel so robust, so certain, so broadly based, and so dependable that even the deep divisions of American politics can never imperil that relationship and the ability of the Jewish state to defend itself.

Manhattan BP Mark Levine and I both fought for the Right to Counsel bill in 2017 when we were in the NYC Council and it is shameful that in 2022, tenants do not have the representation they deserve due to the overflow in cases. #SlowitDown

@MBPMarkLevine
Low-income tenants facing eviction in MH, BK, and BX this month can’t get the free housing lawyers guaranteed to them by Right to Counsel because legal services orgs are overwhelmed. The Office of Court Administration could change that TODAY & stop calendaring cases. #SlowItDown

Reminds me of the “I Voted” stickers. People love them, get so sad when polling sites run out, & they may increase voter turnout (evidence mixed). marketplace.org/2020/11/02/are
