- Can we just take a moment to acknowledge how beautifully these 2 have modeled Jewish-Muslim solidarity in the service of a politics of inclusion for all.
- Reminder: Bisan was the target of an organized hit job that tried to get the Academy to rescind their nomination. Congratulations and thanks to all those who held firm against the threats.The #NewsEmmys Award for Outstanding Hard News Feature Story: Short Form goes to It’s Bisan from Gaza and I’m Still Alive | Aj+ Reports (@ajplus).
00:00 - Proud to have joined over 350 rabbis (and counting) to help make this simple statement in today's @nytimes
- Uh, so NYC mayoral candidate Andrew Yang is dive-bombing selfies at Essex Market and made the mistake of trying one with my spouse. @nycDSA
- I just want you to sit with this for a moment: The IDF vet accused of using a chemical spray against pro-Palestine students at Columbia is suing the university, claiming it was a "non-toxic fart spray" and a "harmless expression of speech."A Jewish student filed a lawsuit on Tuesday against Columbia claiming it went through “biased misconduct proceedings” for their actions at a Jan. 19 protest, at which students allege they were sprayed with a foul-smelling chemical. l8r.it/aT85
- Dear @nytimes headline writers: No, the humans of North Gaza are not “stumbling on.” They are being systematically slaughtered, their first responders deliberately assassinated. The delicate depravity of your wordsmithing never ceases to amaze.
- This is just a small part of what our students have been up against.Chat logs leaked to the Washington Post show a group of billionaires who wanted to make sure the NYPD crushed student protests on the Columbia got a private meeting with Mayor Adams a few days before the NYPD crushed student protests at Columbia: hellgatenyc.com/mayor-adams-cr…
- I taught at Columbia when @bariweiss helped front a vicious, racist, mendacious and, thankfully, failed attempt to smear many of my colleagues. The fact that she can even pretend otherwise, and that she has any voice at all at @nytopinion, is astonishing.
- Residual checks came in and I just want to thank whoever it was in France who rented Lust, Caution this summer.
- Gotta say, happy to see my name figure in such wonderful company on THIS letter, as opposed to, well, that other letter....Dozens of prominent Jewish Americans—including Judith Butler, Tony Kushner, Elliott Gould, Deborah Eisenberg, Molly Crabapple, Ariel Dorfman, and more—have signed an open letter opposing AIPAC's interference in Democratic politics. Read the letter here. bit.ly/3TJhrqP
- Feeling very grateful today to my @IndignationFilm cast & crew. @LikelyStoryFilm @LoganLerman @SarahGadon
- Woke up this morning to fond memories of that time Randy Quaid pretended to sue me over his Brokeback Mountain compensation and then pretended I settled his imaginary lawsuit.
