@DanAmira The only actual debate is whether it’s L-I-R-R or L-I-double-R. Even I, a Jersey boy by birth, know this.

@DanAmira Hahahahahahahahah you are 💯 on point about this. I too am a fellow Long Islander.

Just to be clear, I don't think the NYT is lying about people saying this, or doing rage bait. I believe some people really are saying it. I'm just perplexed by it. It's like finding out that some people have been pronouncing USA "Oosa" this whole time.

I’ve never felt more gaslit. I’m from Long Island. I’ve taken the LIRR my whole life. I’ve never once heard a single person pronounce it “lurr,” ever

A special thanks to WITNESS Board Member and Founder of In The Room Media, Skye Ostreicher, who had the idea to bring our students’ skills into the room through a tailoring pop-up. Skye taught us the importance of not just explaining the work, but letting people experience it.

At SOMOS Albany, WITNESS’s Art of Tailoring students did more than talk about their work — they showed it.

Why aren’t we talking more about how @CMNantashaW absolutely ate at the Met Gala. Serving looks and legislation!!

Truckers move most of New York’s goods Zach Miller of @TruckingAssocNY says soaring insurance costs are pushing small trucking businesses out of the state and driving up prices for consumers. New York’s affordability crisis runs straight through the supply chain:

Today’s antisemitism task force hearing at NYC Hall chaired by @InnaVernikov & @EricDinowitzNYC reports that all 5 DAs were invited. @BrooklynDA is the only one here. NY is home to most Jews outside Israel. Brooklyn is most Jewish county in USA.

I feel the need to share that I’ve participated in SantaCon but I was never aware it was a charity event? I thought of it more as a right of passage when you’re in your 20’s in NYC, you and your roommates dress as Santa and go to bars…

When most people envision the Holocaust, they picture death camps. Cattle cars. Selection lines. At least 1.5 million Jews never saw a camp. They were marched to the forests at the outskirts of their own towns, ordered to undress, and shot at point-blank range into lime pits. There were no survivors to testify. No memorials. Just a mass grave in the tree line that their neighbors blithely walked past for over eighty years. That is what happened to my family. I grew up believing we were "lucky." I was named after my great-grandmother, Lily, a survivor of Lithuanian pogroms who fled to South Africa decades before the Shoah. I was under the impression that the rest of my family followed suit, save for a few distant cousins who remained unaccounted for. This Yom HaShoah, I finally know the truth. With the help of @yadvashem's digital archives, I've found records identifying over 50 relatives murdered by the Einsatzgruppen and their local collaborators. Let this be a reminder that "Never Forget" is an imperative; not only to share the stories we've been taught, but to ensure that others are not lost. yadvashem.org/archive #yomhashoah

Just in case you’re having a bad day, remember this is how they weigh koalas 😍

These Holocaust survivors lost nearly everyone they loved—just because they were Jewish. It's not a conspiracy. There is no debate. Reply with a candle to show you will remember. 🕯️

The trains have stopped. A Muslim woman and an Orthodox Jew stand in shared silence as sirens ring out for the six million. The imagery of the halted light rail carries immense weight today, echoing the dark history of the camps. This is Israel. #YomHaShoah #HolocaustRemembranceDay #Israel

Today, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, a reminder of why we operate. #neveragain

This is the official poster marking #YomHashoah 2026 The image in Yoav Kahana's poster depicts the "absence" within the "presence"; the personal and collective rupture to the Jewish people engendered by the Holocaust. This rupture accompanied the survivors as they searched for living relatives and were met with an aching void. Learn more: bit.ly/4lDfwjC

@AngelaBelcamino @mazemoore Normal for him it seems! It’s all relative

@mazemoore I’m genuinely confused if this is normal.

Eric Swalwell is the only sitting Congressman who’s ever DM’d me out of the blue just to wish me a happy birthday—never met or spoken before. Is that normal behavior or… not really?

@SimoneKanter I actually just googled because I’m hung up on Bradford versus Bradley

It’s a little jaw-dropping to watch Bradford Lander — white man from Missouri who has spent a 20-year career in politics — viciously attack the legacies of the first woman Speaker of the House, first Black woman and first LGBTQ+ Speakers of the City Council...
