"Defend. Disrupt. Dream." As @JNelsonLDF of https://t.co/0SxwFgyemA notes, that was the strategy for victory during the civil rights era, and has every chance of succeeding again. A rare piece of cheerful news from @thenation.com: https://t.co/85tczzjfKo

Does the Passover seder fill you with dread? Treat yourself to Richard Kreitner’s Fear No Pharoah: American Jews, the Civil War, and the Fight to End Slavery. Besides making me see the Haggadah in a whole new light it’s also a really terrific story. @thenation.com #Passover

Lots of good stuff in this Peter Dreier piece on how, decades after his death, 42 (retired) is still way out of 45/47's league. But my favorite part is the photo of Robinson stealing home—which he did an astonishing 19 times in the majors!

If you care about Israel, Palestine, justice, or the prospects for peace in the middle east you owe to to yourself to go see No Other Land.

Basel Adra @basel_adra

We created a website for No Other Land with all screening dates in the United States. It would mean a lot to me if you share it and go to watch the film, especially now. https://t.co/UdAAXKzIp5

Don't know what it says on the back of his medal, but as @HeerJeet suggests @thenation, what it ought to say is "personne n'a su ni rien oublier ni rien apprendre..." (no one has forgotten anything, nor learned anything.)

Even if you don’t agree with Biden’s argument, you shouldn’t be rooting for the Supreme Court to strike down the law forcing ByteDance to sell TikTok. https://t.co/NgPfLeHGsj
