"The truth is unavoidable now: the #socialcontract between #America and its #Jewish citizens has been shaken, not destroyed, but shaken hard enough that we cannot rely on the old narratives anymore.

For generations, Jewish families embraced #Thanksgiving as proof that they had finally found refuge — a country that welcomed them, protected them, and allowed them to contribute without fear. But that old story no longer fits. Not after watching institutions collapse under pressure. Not after seeing the raw hatred simmering beneath the surface burst openly into view. The old Thanksgiving story said, You belong here. The new reality says, You may have to fight for that belonging.

The #American Jewish community needs a new Thanksgiving story — one rooted not in fear, but in clarity. Gratitude is deeply Jewish, but gratitude is not obedience, silence, or blindness."

This partially explains why my tech stocks are doing better than expected, but honestly I am surprised by how much the @EUCommission is surrendering in order to appease the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸.

Also, why is the #EuropeanUnion 🇪🇺 letting #America 🇺🇸 shape their space policies‽ That is crazy!

#StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦🇺🇸

Just received a photo from my Ukrainian friends at #Lviv Volunteer Kitchen—whom I’ve had the honor of volunteering alongside three times—confirming that my recent donations of ⛑️SICH tourniquets and Krovospas hemostatic bandages were delivered to frontline defenders.

📦These lifesaving tools were part of a larger shipment of essentials, including dry ready-made meals.🍲

🇺🇦Our collective efforts can create positive change in #Ukraine.

"On July 23rd, 1984, the song was recorded at the Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse in Eden Prairie with the entire band. The song was played and recorded live. After 21 minutes the tape was full and the band were still playing."
It was only released on vinyl a long time ago. 21 minutes is a bit long 😆, still interesting for any Prince fan. And the song has an amazing groove...

“We are gonna be meeting in the very near future”

Trump thinks the plan to help convicted felon Jair Bolsonaro escape from Brazil worked, and appears to tell the press that Bolsonaro is coming to the US to meet Trump.

The press then informs him that Bolsonaro was caught trying to escape, to which Trump replies, “Is that what happened? It’s too bad.”

@randahl

That doesn't seem odd to me at all. That's a #MAGA #President #Trump doing the crimes that MAGA expects in order to keep MAGA happy. Everything in #America is quite MAGAishly corrupt and the #RepublicanParty just loves them some MAGA corruption.

"Trump accused a group of Democratic lawmakers of sedition in an outburst on #SocialMedia Thursday morning and said their behavior was “punishable by death.”

Their crime? Recording a #video that reminded members of the #military that they are not supposed to obey illegal orders."

🇺🇸True patriots choose democracy over dictatorship and country over party.

📣 Silence is complicity. When we remain silent, we allow hate and division to thrive.

🇺🇸To those who stand against authoritarianism and hate, who fight for equality, and who champion peaceful protest and civil discourse: You are the true patriots. You inspire us all.
