Thank you Bruce Springsteen for “Streets of Minneapolis,” a powerful tribute to Renee Good and Alex Pretti and to the strength of the people of Minnesota.

Better statement from a Football Club than from most world leaders
Given today’s horrific events in Sydney, we recognise wishing our Jewish fans a happy Hanukkah may seem hollow at this incredibly difficult moment. The story of Hanukkah reminds us that even in darkness, we can find the light. We stand alongside our Jewish communities and pray for peace and unity across the world, while sending our deepest condolences to those who have lost loved ones 🤍🕎

Inspired by @POTUS, Gov. @JBPritzker declares that Lake Michigan, which, after all, borders Illinois, will hereby be named...Lake Illinois! (No word on the punishment for state workers who fail) to comply.)
An important announcement from the Governor of Illinois.

Nearly the entire global workforce of USAID will be put on leave by the end of the week. This weakens our security and stability, and we must take a stand.

Our family had a great dinner at Miriam last night - a restaurant in Park Slope that was recently vandalized because its owner is Israeli. The despicable graffiti is part of a disturbing spike in antisemitic incidents in New York and beyond. If you’re able, show your support for the Miriam team by stopping in. Sit down for a meal - and stand up against hatred.

With @VP’s support, I’ve lived openly and proudly with Jewish joy over these past 4 years. Today, I rededicate myself to finding light in the darkness and spreading that light to others. Wishing everyone meaningful and happy Hanukkah!

I always look forward to sharing my annual list of favorite books, movies, and music. Today I’ll start by sharing some of the books that have stuck with me long after I finished reading them. Check them out this holiday season, preferably at an independent bookstore or library!

I have shared the same bathroom with Sarah McBride on several occasions, and she never once made me uncomfortable. She did however help me fix my makeup. That congresswoman knows how to blend her foundation, which is more than I can say about Donald Trump.

Holding back tears: “It was a terrible night for women, for children, for the hundreds of thousands of hard working immigrants who make this country great, for health care, for our climate, for science, for journalism, for justice, for free speech, for poor people, for the middle class, for seniors who rely on social security, for our allies in Ukraine, for NATO, for the truth, for democracy, for decency, for everyone who voted again him, and guess what—it was a bad night for everyone who voted for him too, you just don’t realize it yet” @jimmykimmel @JimmyKimmelLive
