My husband didn’t grow up Jewish or Israeli.
But being married for several years now…
watching the work I do,
the hate I get,
the messages he now helps me block—
it’s changed him.

What shocks him most
is how normal it is for me.

Because when you love someone—
and you watch them be hated,
every single day,
just for existing—
it hits differently.

We’ve come so far as a society
to protect so many groups.
But not the Jews.

Since the beginning of time.
And still — in 2025.

As we say in Hebrew:
אותה גברת בשינוי אדרת
“Same lady, different coat.”
Same hate.
New excuse.

I’m not afraid.
I never will be.

The hate reflects only
on those who waste their lives
spreading darkness.

But like fire,
hate spreads.
And that’s why it matters.

Not because of what I go through.
But because of what it fuels.

That’s why we must speak.
We must name it.
Call it out.
Refuse to normalize it.

That’s real freedom.
Not slogans.
Not made-up liberation.
But truth.

The #Illusion Is Over.

What Comes Next Is Up to You. It is time to stare at the world with clear eyes and no illusions.No more clinging to the past.No attempts at “sane-washing.”What is, is. This is the world we, collectively, have built.It may not be the world we dreamed of, but it is the one we must now navigate.

Tonight is ליל הסדר — Seder night.

A night of story, memory, freedom.

This video is from my last Seder in Israel — a table full of love, tradition, and meaning. I hold it close.

This year, I’m not at a public Seder. I’m sitting with memory. With family in my heart.

If you’re doing the same — I see you.

You don’t need a crowd to feel the magic. Just a heart open to the story.

May tonight bring freedom, peace, connection, and hope.

And may we remember the 59 hostages still in Gaza. May they come home soon.

חג פסח שמח 💙

50 years ago Freda Josephine Baker (née McDonald) died in #Paris #france

She was an #artist, #singer, #dancer, #actress, and a #fighter for #freedom

During #WW2 she fought against #facism as part of the #resistance and always fought against #racism

She was an #independent #woman that resisted inequality of her time

Her life was not easy, she did not inherit fortunes she could build on

She did it herself

Let's borrow some of her courage & build a society she'd liked

Demokratie bedeutet Kommunikation und Verhandlung unter gleichwertigen Partnern.
Die #socialmedia der #TechOligarchie und der direkten oder indirekten Regierungskontrolle sind eine Kriegswaffe der #Desinformation. Im Gegengewicht ist das dezentrale #fediverse die #balance für sinnvollen Meinungs- und Informationsaustausch. Vernetzung für #demokratiebildung ist der #Zeitgeist der progressiven Kräfte.

The Zapatista Uprising, 30 Years Later

In the mountains of Chiapas, a rebel experiment in autonomy continues to thrive – thirty years after its declaration of war against the Mexican state.

Our reporter Rowan Glass went deep inside one of the world’s most enduring anti-capitalist movements, offering a rare and intimate glimpse into a community that has defied militarisation, marginalisation, and globalisation…

#Trump the #LaughingStock

"The Chinese Ministry of Finance confirmed today the [125%] increase will take effect from tomorrow, April 12.

It's the last such action China will take, per the Finance Ministry, with the Commerce Ministry adding that China considers the current tariff levels to be economically meaningless."

The Register · China ups tariffs on US goods to 125%, calls Trump's war a 'joke'By Brandon Vigliarolo

Oh Bobolyne (to the tune of Chuck Berry "Maybellene")

"Trump babbles his way through doing a bad job and the polling proves we know it--
Trump's presidency isn’t even 100 days old yet. But in word and deed, and apparently in the eyes of the public, he's already gone full-#bobolyne.
