Phillipe, thank you for giving @menchik.bsky.social and me this generous invitation to reflect on our work! Hard to believe that @concernedjfaculty.bsky.social is only 18 months old. We've made so much good noise. And people are starting to listen.

Brad continues to fundraise off of a performative, self-promoting case that does nothing to actually help immigrant communities across NYC. Meanwhile, I’m doing the work to fight ICE. It’s remarkable to watch him make the trauma these families are enduring all about himself.

Adam Hochschild on Molly Crabapple’s history of the Jewish Bund

A Dream of a Socialist Commonwealth | Adam Hochschild

Molly Crabapple’s history of the Bund recovers an egalitarian, secular, cosmopolitan vision of Jewish identity and political life that was lost in the horrors of the twentieth century.

Religious belief and religious belonging are good for democracy. Militant secularism, not so much.

I think we need an inverse thread where we talk about things that normal intelligent people universally agree upon that are for some reason hot takes within your profession

Religious nationalism is bad. including Islamic nationalism. And Christian nationalism. And yes, even Jewish nationalism.

M. Nolan Gray 🥑@mnolangray.bsky.social · 4mo ago

What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?

We stand with @jvp.bsky.social and the Northampton City Council against this outrageous lawsuit. No country is categorically immune to criticism or boycott over their actions, and cities should not be forced to invest in regimes they are morally opposed to. www.wwlp.com/news/local-n...

For the record, Leading Jewish Group JFREJ is very much in favor of Mayor Mamdani hosting Mahmoud Khalil and his family for Iftar.

Joel S.@joelhs.bsky.social · 5mo ago

We need to stop accepting that these are "leading Jewish groups." They are not democratically accountable to the majority of American Jews, and I suspect the majority of NYC Jews do not care if Mamdani shares iftar with Mahmoud Khalil. I certainly do not! jewishinsider.com/2026/03/mamd...

1: Tucker Carlson is spewing antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jewish power. 2: Netanyahu absolutely helped drag Trump into a needless war that benefits Israel more than the US. We can distinguish between #1 and 2. it’s not hard. Conflating them helps the fascists. Don’t help the fascists.

Antonio Guterres is up first at this Security Council meeting. He condemns this morning’s strikes by Israel and the US on Iran, and the return strikes by Iran on countries in the region. There is, he says, no alternative to the peaceful settlement of disputes

Exclusive: Prior to Iran attacks, CIA assessed Khamenei would be replaced by hardline IRGC elements if killed, sources say

In the run-up to the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Saturday, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency assessed that even if Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in the operation, he would likely be replaced by hardline figures from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), two sources briefed on the intelligence said.

In the absence of material, strategic, or institutional incentives for war we must admit the ideological ones: Netanyahu and Trump are religious extremists, their power built on coalitions of Jewish and Christian supremacists. This is not just imperial power. It’s religious imperialism.

It’s time to grow up about the link between Epstein and this administration’s wars. I have lived through Republican administrations starting wars in the Middle East for 40 years. There’s no secret story, no conspiracy. The story in public is the story. It is a war for power over the Middle East.
