Good morning.

Trump’s sweaty desperation was on full display in Dallas. I’ll give you $5k if we win, this criminal conman said. “Cheat like hell,” this enemy of democracy said. What pleasure it will be when this poisonous creature is gone.

"He said that I’m disrespecting Jesus. You want to know what actually disrespects Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare to give tax cuts to billionaires. Bombing innocent schoolchildren in Iran, and sending our brave men and women off to die in another forever war." PLEASE WATCH AND SHARE!

This broke my heart because it gets to the part of this moment that is hardest to confront. The danger was never just the con man. It was the hunger for what he was selling, and the willingness to sacrifice compassion, decency and other people’s humanity to get it. Read this.

You know what truly breaks my heart?
It's not that America fell for a brilliant con-man. He isn't. And they weren't fooled.
What I find devastating is how many people were absolutely desperate to believe the lies.
How many ached for permission to dress their cruelty in patriotism. How many clung to racist. Homophobic. Transphobic.
Ethnocentric stereotypes. Because they thought the lies were promising them a shortcut to power. A way to profit.
Personally and politically. From the suffering of millions of absolutely innocent people.
The tragedy isn't the con. It's the hunger for it.
The willingness to trade compassion for the cheap thrill of feeling superior. The way hate sells because too many people show up already desperate to buy. —KALEN DION

Shanah Tovah, New York! Wishing all Jewish New Yorkers celebrating a sweet, joyful and meaningful Rosh Hashanah. Here’s to a new year filled with health, happiness and blessings (and yes, even another Knicks championship).

This is true. Unlike the 5K Trump is promising his rubes, Mamdani actually delivers what he vows. In July 2026, Mamdani and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced that murders dropped to 122 cases during the first half of the year, a 24.7% decline year-over-year.

ICE is silently flying hundreds of detained immigrants out of WA, separating them from their attorneys, communities, and families. Nearly 500 people have been flown out since last August, some with as little as one night’s notice. This cruelty doesn’t belong in Washington. Or our nation.

ICE flights out of Boeing Field surge, alarming families, immigrants rights' groups

Over the past weeks, the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement flights out of Seattle’s Boeing Field has increased. Their cargo is immigrants, many with long-standing ties to Washington state ...

"Suffering from genocide, loss, displacement and starvation, many of these children ... resist feelings of distress, fear and anger, burying them deep down just to carry on. They believe that work is the lifeline for their families, so they have no choice but to keep going, no matter what[.]"

The human cost in Gaza extends beyond the staggering numbers of deaths: It includes the suffering of the children who have survived. They are being forced out of childhood, bearing burdens far beyond their age, and working to keep their destitute families afloat.

9/11 victim Michael Massaroli’s son: "You do my dad's legacy & the legacy of all victims no honor using this tragedy to spread hate. I've had to spend 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers & sisters, people who don't look like them."

Trump bypassed every regulation on this theater event. He did not even gets bids. The current renovation and repair cost for the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool has exceeded $16 million, with an additional $2.7 million allocated for ongoing water treatment and system repairs.

U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro found after an investigation last month the pool’s renovation “indicated a rushed and flawed installation process.”

may we honor the memories of everyone killed in 9/11, who died as a result of rescue efforts, either immediately or because of the environmental impact, of everyone bombed and killed in US "retaliation", and of everyone tortured, surveilled and harmed in the vile Islamophobic aftermath
