Wearing orange in the GA Legislature as we mourn w/ the Bibas family & our Jewish community. While the precious Bibas babies returned to Israel in coffins, their mother is missing. Hamas is responsible and must be eradicated from our world - they’re humans without humanity. #WhereIsShiri
If a woman had 13 kids by four different men, used ketamine and spent all her time running a shadow presidency, I’m not sure our society would celebrate her.
Last night, the Consulate General of India hosted a beautiful Hanukkah celebration! It was heartwarming to be with the Consul General of Israel, Mayor Paul of Sandy Springs, members of the Indian-American community, and the American Jewish Committee. Grateful for an inspiring evening!

SCOTUS announced today it will hear Kerr v. Planned Parenthood South Atlantic, a case that could determine whether states can block people enrolled in Medicaid from accessing safe high-quality reproductive health care at Planned Parenthood, like birth control, mammograms, & cancer screenings.
Rep. Jared Moskowitz, a stalwart pro-Israel Jewish Democrat, is reportedly a top contender to lead FEMA under Trump.
The position would not be unfamiliar for the congressman, who served under DeSantis as the director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management.
@marcrod.bsky.social reports:
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro said that some universities were “willing to forgo” their responsibilities to protect Jewish students on campus, singling out the University of Pennsylvania for having “lost its way” and “working to get back” to a better place.
In an unprecedented moment in Israel’s history, Netanyahu began testifying this morning at his long-delayed trial, where he is facing charges of fraud, bribery and breach of trust. Netanyahu has denied the charges against him.

Always wonderful to hear from my friend DA Sherry Boston and to be in community with my amazing sisters from @jdwsatl.bsky.social 🩵
It was an honor to be in conversation with Sherry Boston, DeKalb County District Attorney last night! As Jewish women, we are particularly grateful that DA Boston champions reproductive freedom and the protection of women and doctors. Great to have @epanitch.bsky.social in attendance, too.
This is a toxic political worldview.
It is bad for the brand of Democrats.
Republicans love it for the same reason.
Why are the pod bros platforming a guy who literally brought on a man from a U.S. designated terrorist group on his show?
You know, Houthis.
The terrorist group whose motto includes "Death to America, Death to Israel, A curse upon the Jews"
Happy Thanksgiving! Wishing my constituents, family, and friends a wonderful holiday.
I am thankful to represent House District 51 in the Georgia General Assembly.
Democratic Georgia state Rep. @epanitch.bsky.social, the only Jewish member of the Georgia Statehouse, said she was “disheartened that both of our U.S. Senators voted in favor” of resolutions to block U.S. aid to Israel.
My statement on last night’s Senate vote to block select arms sales to Israel. #gapol
"Nothing would say women are 2d class citizens like confirming Gaetz to be the nation’s top cop. If Trump & the Senate forge ahead, no one should pretend that isn’t the message.” Proud to write this with my friends @joycewhitevance.bsky.social & @dahlialithwick.bsky.social slate.com/news-and-pol...
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to NBC on women in the military:
"They do impact readiness. They make us better. They make us stronger. And again, what I've seen from our women is quite incredible. This is not hyperbole. This is fact ... As the years have gone by, our women get better and stronger."
It's really cynical to invoke your trauma to discriminate against a colleague who has harmed no one while you're enabling Donald Trump, who a court has found sexually assaulted a woman.
Of course they went to see “Pretty Woman”…

Truth be told, it does seem kind of silly to have the FBI do background checks on presidential appointees when the president is a convicted criminal and an adjudicated digital rapist.
