“Just for clarification, that video we just watched, we saw people moving around,” Omar said after the video was played during a House Education and Workforce...

Neither of us will forget the first time we marched in a Pride Parade.

Most of us who engage in heavy alcohol use do so to self-medicate. And we self-medicate because we don’t know how to feel, process, and sit with our uncomfortable emotions. There are many ways to avoid uncomfortable feelings; heavy alcohol use is just one way (among many) to numb out, avoid, or escape. A lot of us who have abused alcohol, myself included, do so to regulate our emotions, or we think we are regulating our emotions through self-medication.

Tlaib, AOC face internal blowback over Israel remarks

Alameda, CA

I find it incredibly painful to hear people claim Israel is a “settler-colonialist state.” As Temple Israel of Alameda’s rabbi, congregants often tell me they wish they knew Jewish history better. Frankly, you don’t need to know much beyond this: Israel is one of our most ancient names. Our existence, as Judea and Israel, are recorded in the annals of ancient civilizations. We are called “Jews” and “Jewish” as descriptors for the people of Judea. The Maccabees created the last Jewish monarchy—the Hasmoneans.
