FIREFIGHER NEVER GOT TO MEET HIS 3RD DAUGHTER
Roi Moshe, 36, from Ashkelon, was killed by Hamas terrorists on October 7 while trying to return home.
Roi, a firefighter, served as deputy team chief in the Beersheba station, and was posthumously granted the rank of first sergeant major, according to the Times of Israel.
He had just wrapped up an overnight shift and was headed home when the Hamas attack began.
He was ambushed by Hamas terrorists near the Gevim Junction outside Sderot, tried to flee into a nearby field and was murdered.
He is buried in Ashkelon on October 10. He is survived by his wife, Linor, their two children, Daniel, 9, and Harel, 7, and their daughter, Gili, who was born in January 2024, three months after her father’s death.
Killed for being Jewish 🎗️

״השנה יש לנו קבר״. איזה משפט פסיכי להגיד אבל זה חלק מהמציאות הקשה שלנו מאז ה 7/10.
לא רצינו גיבור חלל אלא ילד חי.
תודה לכל אלו שבאו להיות איתנו אתמול, כולל ל @kumu_il שעזרו בארגון והפצה, מתנ״ס נתניה וחברי הכנסת @simondav14 ו @KElharrar שכיבדו בנוכחותם.

14 BABIES NAMED AFTER SLAIN JEWISH PARAMEDIC 10/7 🎗️
Over 14 children have been named in her honor of Amit Mann, the 22yo Israeli paramedic that was killed on October 7th.
So many children were named after her that her mother recently hosted a meet-up for the small children.
According to the JewishStandard, recently in February, Amit’s mother and three older sisters hosted a gathering of parents of babies named in memory of this senselessly slaughtered Israeli heroine.
One of those 14 babies is Gefen Amit Amminadav of Jerusalem, the six-month-old firstborn of Natania Casden, who grew up in Teaneck, and Gil Amminadav, who made aliyah from Fair Lawn.
“It’s always been important to me to raise strong, brave daughters,” Natania said.
“When we learned that we were having a girl, we decided to name her Gefen Amit after my grandmother, Gwen Cole, and after Amit Mann."
"... obviously Amit Mann was a brave young woman, especially for a 22-year-old. I’d heard her story and was never able to forget it.

Alvin Brown, a former NTSB board member, has filed a lawsuit alleging he was fired because of his race. According to the lawsuit, as many as 75% of Black officials at independent agencies were removed under Trump. When qualified Black leaders are pushed out under such circumstances, it raises serious questions about fairness, equal protection, and the integrity of our institutions. Brown is rightfully seeking accountability! newrepublic.com/post/209131/tr…

In 1960, a quiet woman at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration was handed a routine file. It was for a drug already sold in nearly 50 countries—a sedative called thalidomide, widely marketed as safe for pregnant women.
Most people would have signed off. Frances Oldham Kelsey didn’t.
New to the FDA, she noticed something others had overlooked—or ignored. The data was thin. Reports of nerve damage were buried. The safety claims felt… too clean. While the pharmaceutical company pushed aggressively for approval, sending repeated requests and mounting pressure, Kelsey held her ground. She asked for more studies. Then more. And more.
Behind the scenes, the pressure wasn’t subtle. Drug companies expected quick approvals. Delays meant lost profit. For a young female reviewer in a male-dominated system, saying “no” wasn’t just professional resistance—it was personal risk. She was challenging an industry that wasn’t used to being challenged, especially not by a woman.
Then the truth surfaced.
Across Europe, thousands of babies were being born with devastating deformities—missing limbs, malformed organs—traced back to thalidomide taken during pregnancy. It became one of the worst medical disasters of the 20th century.
Because Kelsey refused to approve it, the United States was largely spared.
Her skepticism saved countless lives.
In 1962, she was awarded the President’s Award for Distinguished Federal Civilian Service by John F. Kennedy—one of the highest honors a civilian could receive. But her impact didn’t stop there. Her stand forced sweeping changes in drug regulation, leading to stricter testing requirements and proof of efficacy before approval. The system became safer because she refused to bend.
She didn’t shout. She didn’t grandstand. She simply refused to compromise when it mattered most.
And that’s what made her dangerous—in the best possible way.

Unbelievable.
JD Vance came to Georgia —
and the room told the truth before anyone else had to.
Empty seats.
Dead air.
No movement. No force.
Then Ossoff did what real opponents do:
he stopped treating the con like a mystery
and named it.
A fake Christian White House.
A war-hungry grift machine.
A “First Family” getting richer
while everyone else gets crushed by rent, food, power, health care.
That’s the part they hate most —
not the insult,
the clarity.
Because once you say it cleanly,
the whole thing stinks at once:
the blasphemy,
the theft,
the corruption,
the arrogance.
And suddenly JD isn’t some future star.
He’s just another salesman
for a collapsing scam.

🚨HOLY COW: Jon Ossoff just HUMILIATED JD Vance:
“I don't know if you saw, but JD Vance was in Georgia this week.
NO ONE SHOWED UP. The stadium was empty.”
AND THEN OSSOFF WENT NUCLEAR:
“But JD came to UGA to attack the Pope, two days after Donald Trump depicted himself as Jesus Christ.
The faithless President depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice.
While he and his family rake in billions from foreign princes.
While he plunders our health care to cut taxes for the rich.
Meanwhile rent, power, groceries, and health care have hit all-time highs this year.
Ground beef's up 20% since Trump took office. Coffee, 40%. Health premiums: through the roof.
And remember: while you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions of dollars.
Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it."
CALL TO ACTIVISM@CalltoActivism
🚨 OMG. Ossoff just delivered a masterclass on DISMANTLING Trump: “Trump…said we can only fund war then released a $1.5 trillion budget for the Pentagon …Because draft-dodging Donald loves sending other people's children to war.” DAMN. 🔥

This is Israel ❤️
One moment: the entire country freezes in silence as sirens wail on Yom Hashoah — highways stop, people stand still, remembering the 6 million.
Next moment: missiles from Iran are flying overhead… and in the bomb shelters, our people are dancing, singing, and celebrating life with pure joy.
We honor the past with unbreakable dignity.
We face the present with unstoppable spirit.
We choose LIFE — every single day.
This is who we are.
This is why no one can break us.
Am Israel Chai

Violent antisemitic attacks are rising at an alarming rate and threatening Jewish communities in the U.S. and around the world. These instances of vile hate and violence against Jews are disgusting and horrifying, and we all have a responsibility to make sure this bigotry is never normalized. When we allow hate against one community to flourish, all communities are at risk.
No Jewish community should have to live in fear. We must pledge to continue confronting antisemitism and hate whenever and wherever it rears its ugly head.

En algún momento, tienes que ser honesto contigo mismo. Existe un patrón de conducta.

Lloyd Gaines applied to the Univ. of Missouri School of Law in 1936. Despite his exceptional scholastic record, his application was denied.
Lloyd Gaines filed a lawsuit after being denied admission. The Court ruled in his favor in 1938. The Court did not require Missouri to admit him but they had to set up a separate law school for Black people.
Mr. Gaines and the NAACP continued to challenge Missouri’s lack of effort in compliance with the ruling.
Three months after the Court ruling, 28-year-old Gaines went missing while living in Chicago and was never seen or heard from again.
Without Lloyd Gaines, the NAACP was forced to drop the case. He never had the opportunity to attend the University of Missouri or any other Black student until 1950. #DemsUnited #BlackHistoryWithLana
