Progressive NYer here; I appreciate this dispatch from the Bible Belt. It’s also a chance to consider why some Jews wrongly think the crew you describe are our friends. We’ve had so few friends though history that maybe ppl kind of viscerally just appreciate when anyone appears to be a supporter.

That sounds like mishegas to me. Or maybe I mean michigas.

Would you explain the connection to Come on Eileen? When I’ve revisited the lyrics, it sounds…not quite rapey but full of sexual pressure.

This is completely disgusting. I’ve met people whose beloved family members were disappeared and it’s the most horrifying thing. It’s grotesque that anyone would make a joke or weirdo right wing comment about that.

Weighing in as a lawyer: here she’s just summarizing what the law says. I couldn’t think of innovative ways to describe the National Labor Relations Act, for ex, if I were writing about it and I’m sure my summary of the law’s provisions would be very similar to those written countless times before.

Wow what a wild piece. So these prestigious, powerful lifetime positions of public service should be influenced by what lawyers make in private sector law firms?? It’s bananas.

Would it be a problem if they were Stars if David?

What exactly does your statement have to do with the Jewish Museum in DC, which is what he was writing about?
