Been off Twitter for a couple of years now and I don't miss it. A friend who remains on there told me that during the Zohran Scavenger Hunt the posts there were UNHINGED. And no matter who you are, it seeps into you. It coarsens you and you don't even notice until you leave.

I wrote this 9 months ago that I had the urge to take pictures of descriptions at MET as I feared what is happening now. Honestly, I need to figure out how to process the anger I feel at people who dismissed and/or invalidated my fears then, and to some degree, now.

In the past when I sat down to write about Israel, I’ve had a moment where I take a deep breath and accept that, as a Jewish woman, it’s going to be difficult. This time, there was no such moment. I wrote about the intentional starvation of Gaza by Israel/US, and the moral imperative to say enough:

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
