Help get Dr. Abdul El-Sayed elected to the senate! Jewish safety depends on a real multiracial democracy—and Abdul is the one fighting to protect it. Get involved and help at We know how much it matters to live in a country where our rights are protected, where the law applies equally to everyone, and where the majority can’t just decide that some people don’t deserve the same freedoms. The safety and freedom we’ve found in America didn’t happen by accident. They exist because of democracy. And protecting democracy means protecting Jewish safety, too. We know what happens when those protections start to break down. When courts are weakened, elections are undermined, and people lose equal protection under the law, minorities are often the first to pay the price. Jews have seen this throughout our history. It’s one of the reasons so many of our families sought refuge in democratic countries. That’s why I find it so alarming to see what’s happening right now. When masked government agents are taking people off the streets and citizens are being shot in public, we should all be worried about where things are headed. As Jews, we know that when a government starts targeting certain groups of people, no one should assume they’re safe from what comes next. Mike Rogers has chosen to align himself with a movement that is willing to attack our democracy. He stood with Trump and refused to accept the results of the 2020 election. And now we’re seeing what happens when a political movement treats the rights and dignity of certain people as disposable. For Jews, these things should set off alarm bells. Jewish safety is tied to the health of our democracy. We can’t protect one without protecting the other. And in this Senate race, Abdul is the candidate who understands that and is willing to fight for it. #abdulelsayed #democracy #jewish #midterms

The theater was packed. When it was finished the audience just sat there as the credits rolled. Stillness. You know how rare that is for people to not jump up and start yammering or scrolling or move on to the next thing? There was stillness and awe, gratitude and sorrow and astonishment both with the film and this world we have allowed. This movie being slammed by reviewers is beyond comprehension. Anyone who is dragging this piece through the mud should get a brain scan or see it again as they must not have been paying attention. This is one of the most daring, original, provocative pieces of art I’ve seen and bravo to every person that laid a hand on it. I’d have given my right arm to be an extra in this movie (I’m right handed). This craft, like many other things nowadays, feels in peril. The systems at play encourage mass appeal above all else. Digger is a battle cry for art, for waking up, for demanding an actual attention span of your audience and for the miracle of having a point of view. To horrify, delight, wildly surprise repeatedly and inspire us to fight for our world before it’s too late is an incredible accomplishment. Don’t listen to rotten tomatoes. Find an actual person who saw this movie. Listen to them. Tomato tomaaato! Fuck that stupid nonsense percentage bullshit. It’s so dumb. Go see this movie. Thank you Digger ! #diggerthemovie #diggerthemovie #film #art #wow

Help get Dr. Abdul El-Sayed elected to the senate! Get involved and help at Abdul isn’t the scary person his opponents want you to be afraid of. There’s so much work going into making people afraid of Abdul. People focus on his Muslim name, make accusations about who he’s connected to, and warn that he’s going to force Sharia law on everyone. You hear it over and over again. And I think we should stop and ask why they’re working so hard to make us afraid of him. It’s hard for me to hear Muslims and Arabs talked about this way without thinking about our own Jewish history. We know what it’s like to have people treat your identity as a reason to distrust you, to make you seem threatening just because of who you are. I’m not telling anyone what they have to believe about Abdul. I’m asking people to recognize that this kind of talk should sound familiar to us. And look, I understand that people in our community are scared right now. There are real threats, real grief, and real reasons to be worried about Jewish safety. I’m not trying to minimize any of that. But what do we actually do about it? For me, this comes down to a pretty simple question: Who is going to protect the democracy that has helped keep Jews safe in America? Who is going to stand up for the rights of all of us? Abdul. Because I believe protecting our community means protecting the democracy we all depend on.

🧵My son and I interviewed just 14 members from National Security Leaders for America a group of over 900 experienced veterans and national security leaders. We were moved by their passion and willingness to break with military tradition and speak out politically as they believe the consequences of another Trump presidency would be disastrous for both America and the world. They believe Harris is abundantly qualified for the job. “NSL4A is a 501(c)(4) bipartisan organization comprised of individuals who served in various senior leadership positions that include all six military branches, elected federal and state offices, and various government departments and agencies. Our members bring a diverse and unique perspective on what a healthy Democracy needs to thrive. Our experts can also recognize the most remote warning signs that signal when a Democracy is in danger.” Please pass along to fellow veterans, Republican or conservative friends and family, undecided voters, or folks who are questioning whether or not their vote is important.

On a recent call with #Heroes4Harris, I sang ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ in Yiddish. Let me tell you why. ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’ is an anthem of hope. It was written by Harold Arlen and Yip Harburg, two young Jews who wrote the song in English but dreamt it up in Yiddish. Like my grandparents, their parents were refugees who fled many a Wicked Witch and flying monkey, seeking a land where ‘troubles melt like lemon drops.’ But of course, this song has always resonated far beyond the refugee community where it was written. Three decades later, it became an anthem for the LGBTQ+ movement and even inspired the rainbow flag. Tragically, America has always been tormented by a language rooted in hate and intolerance—a language that hates rainbows. A language that doesn’t pray for our highest good but preys on our deepest fears. For the composers of ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow,’ this language of hate was embodied by Adolf Hitler. Recent revelations show Donald Trump not just echoing but aspiring to Hitler’s footsteps. Let me be clear: Our parents and grandparents weren’t sent by a White House to defeat Nazis only to see the White House run by them. We as a nation are ready to turn the page on the nightmare of Trump and move towards an anthem of hope expressed in this great song. And so we stand at a crossroads of languages: Will we speak in hope or hate? Will we sing of dreams or despair? Will America lift her lamp beside the golden door, or slam it shut forever? 🗽 This Tuesday and every day after, let us choose the America that speaks this language of hope. And let us embrace the fact that hope is not just a dream—it drove my grandparents across oceans, it drives us to protect each other, and it will drive us to build that better world, that better home. And let us remember, there’s no place like home. 🏠✨ In the words of my ancestors, Zol zayn azoy. Let it be so. You can still help GOTV!

📽️ by Sarah Abou Hadir @editorsarahadir “A picture says a thousand Earth has updated its images of Gaza. The before images were taken in early August 2023, and the afters were taken in late November 2024. What you see here is visual evidence of Israel’s systematic bombing of the people of Gaza. We are witnessing a live-streamed genocide and our governments are providing the weapons for the destruction. EMAIL Keir Starmer now and tell him to end the complicity and STOP SELLING ARMS TO ISRAEL NOW.” —
