In 2012 there wasn’t even *one* black senator, and only one black governor, in the whole country. Now there will be seven black senators and five governors. From one to 12 in the blink of an eye. Never stop believing that change is possible.

Mississippi!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

At today's swearing-in of the new Israeli Parliament, Netanyahu went on a crazed rant against the Arab legislators that hit a new low, even for him. The sooner this despicable thug is removed from power, the better for the universe.

When Senator (!) Colom from Mississippi (!) can finally join his new colleagues in Washington, he should be received with a standing ovation.

Some people will jump down my throat, but these are pretty encouraging numbers. The 95% is fantastic. The 68% is great, and higher than what the Haredim would say. For the 54%, imagine French Canadians being asked if they are okay with Canada being an Anglo country... and for Hamas, given 100 years of conflict, and these past three years, that 43-30 number could be worse.

I get disagreeing on politics, policies, ideas, and solutions. It is the cruelty and utter heartlessness of so many people here that gets me. The inability to imagine, “those could be my children…”

The humanitarian situation in Gaza is intolerable. The “international community” is a bad joke. I could spend hours apportioning blame. But in the end: whatever. We are ruled by cowards and thugs, and we have all failed. One bottom line: flood Gaza with aid and prefabs NOW.

I will never forget this miraculous moment, 37 years ago today, when the Berlin Wall came crashing down. Nothing lasts forever. Humans have agency and hope never dies.

The vast majority of people, all over the world, are sick and tired of hate and division. They want to be seen and heard and respected. But they see hate and chronic indignation as both useless and exhausting.

Two statements from Israel today. President Herzog about to invite Gadi Eisenkot to form a new government, and Netanyahu (who has not been seen in public in 11 days) inciting (again) to violence and civil war. The choice could not be clearer.
