Linda Sarsour quote:

Wow. You don’t even hide her gross comments about other women and antizionism. Also, her antizionism is antisemitic considering she only has a problem with a Jewish state and not a Muslim state, nor is she calling for a United Yugoslavia last that I heard. When you believe that ethnic groups and religious groups (say,…

Shit...Someone on Twitter posted a picture of one the guys instagram, holding his dead dog that he was going to use for shark bait. It felt very Ramsey Bolton-esque...

The reboot of One Day at a Time was quite good, btw. Full of Lear’s working-class sensibilities, nice nods to the original series, and the new cast is phenomenal.  

To quote Tim Whatley when he becomes a Jew on Seinfeld: “It’s our sense of humor that sustained us as a people for 3000 years.”

Good! That guy is an idiot. I say this as a Jewish American, the leeway that orthodox sects and Hasidim are given in secular situations is beyond ridiculous.

Love him or hate him, Netanyahu is a consummate badass and extremely slick politician at the same time. Trump is like a weak caricature.

I’m Jewish, and while I might question some of the things that Orthodox Jews do and there are things that I wouldn’t do myself, I am really irritated (though not at all surprised) at how many people in the comments here are fucking assholes.

It’s true that there are exercise sequences that can help, both during pregnancy and after—you’ll notice I’m not saying workout. I think here in the US we have some preconceived ideas about that word, and we actually need to be cautioning new moms about things like diastasis recti and prolapse risks.

Well, crap. It’s been THAT kind of day. Happy 14th day of the Omer to you, too!

Yeah, you misread it, I was being sarcastic (I cited the pasuk that states that explicitly). :-) Happy 14th day of the Omer!

I’m also but a simple Jew and it’s my experience that the Passover narrative, a la the Haggadah, does specify that we welcome the stranger because we were strangers in the land of Egypt. Or am I misreading your statement? As for Jesus, surely such a nice person would not advocate for kicking folks out of town?

If you really want to open that can of worms...

I don’t know what calendar are you on, but my today’s date is 16th of Nissan , year 5777.

I never thought I’d be saying that W isn’t the worst president of my lifetime. Also, he may have been in someone’s pocket but at least he was bought and paid for by an American company instead of some Russian one. That’s true patriotism.

SHE HAD THE MOST PROGRESSIVE PLATFORM THE DEMS HAVE EVER FUCKING SEEN. Jesus fucking christ.

In all seriousness, it’s because it offers him a way to speak directly to his supporters without the media acting as an intermediary. And because you can’t exclude the press and the opposition from a presidential address, but you can exclude anyone you want from your own campaign events. This is really disturbing.…

I have a Syrian hamster and a Russian hamster. (Seriously, that where they each originated from.) OMG you would not believe how tense it has been in my home.

I have a cat who looks like a Russian Blue but is actually a gray tabby. He is concerned that he will be stereotyped for his appearance.

I saw this on twitter and I felt so many emotions all at once. Touched by the people coming together, sickened and saddened that this is happening in 2017 and then even more sickened and saddened that I’m not shocked by this. 2015 me wouldn’t and couldn’t believe this is our new reality.
