@whysharksmatter.bsky.social look what came in the mail today. I’m expecting a signature the next time you visit.

So Strange New Worlds S4 E1 is a Land of the Lost remake. Cool.

I sure felt it. The whole house shook.

Really looking forward to JD Vance campaigning for Netanyahu later this year.

@whysharksmatter.bsky.social The shark kippah makes a great conversation piece at holiday gatherings.

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.

It’s nice to see some good news for a change. For those of you familiar with the story of Come From Away, Gander does it again!! www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/w...

Today in Newton Center MA. It got bigger.

A Mad King has usurped the power of Congress—which represents the American people. That is, he has seized power that belongs to you and me collectively. He has declared war without consultation with or approval from Congress. And with no imminent threat. This is a profound betrayal of the republic.

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

Alligator Alcatraz is a concentration camp. Everyone needs to call it what it is.

RIP Bobby Sherman. I had such a crush on him in elementary school. Even had a Bobby Sherman lunchbox.

Just a reminder that one lesson of JAWS is that you should listen to scientists when they warn you about a danger www.nature.com/articles/d41... 🧪

This is just disgraceful. How does stopping a bunch of HS students on their way to volleyball practice make us safer? How does kidnapping one of them make us safer? www.bostonglobe.com/2025/06/01/m...

Unbelievably horrified by this attack in Boulder. We don’t know the full story of the attacker, but no matter what it is, let me be clear: Senseless, antisemitic attacks do not help Palestinians, Jews, or Israelis. Committing terror attacks against people standing for hostages is disgusting.

Nothing about this is OK. Grabbing a highschooler while he is driving to volleyball practice with his buddies cannot possibly be what will make America great. Grateful to so many in Milford, who are rallying around this young man, his family, and his friends. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/05/31/m...

@whysharksmatter.bsky.social look what I found in a store in Great Barrington MA.

On the preciousness of life: Some reflections on the murder of Jews in Washington and the slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza peterbeinart.substack.com/p/on-the-pre...

Horrific murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in the middle of DC. This kind of violence is illegal, immoral, inexcusable and of course - if the chant of ‘free Palestine’ by the alleged shooter is true - solves nothing and helps zero Palestinians.

As is often the case Michelle Goldberg perfectly sums up what I have been thinking and feeling. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/19/o...

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

A reminder that there is no human being in the United States whom it would be legal to disappear to a Salvadoran prison without due process of law.

Fletcher School faculty urge Tufts to commence legal action "to enjoin the government and its agents from arresting, detaining, or deporting students, staff, or faculty based upon their engagement in constitutionally protected expression." @dandrezner.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/danieldr...

A devil's bargain. Netanyahu provides cover for far-right leader's authoritarianism and Holocaust revisionism, and they defend his agenda of occupation and annexation.

The Trump Administration's illegal arrest and detention of Rumeysa Ozturk should alarm all Americans, especially Jewish Americans, who spent generations escaping the type of authoritarian regimes Trump is instilling today. 1/2

“The liberal Jewish communities in Israel and the US are in deep fear about where their countries are headed. The assault on democratic institutions, the rise of extreme discourse, and the feeling that foundational values are under attack,” writes J Street Israel Director Nadav Tamir.

This!!

We are deeply concerned that this next phase of this conflict may be the darkest yet. Hamas and the Netanyahu government must pull back from the brink and get the ceasefire back on track.
