A small group of supporters of the Goyim Defense League (GDL) embarked on their latest antisemitic stunt this weekend, trolling Jewish communities in Georgia, distributing hateful fliers and holding rallies outside synagogues. 🧵wsbtv.com/video/local-video/…

I just went to get a COVID test and couldn't wake up the woman who was there to do the testing. If that isn't a metaphor for these times I don't know what is.

Contrary to expectations and for the first time in her life, Yogi has decided not to destroy a new toy immediately. Instead, she's embraced it.

This Jewish space laser thing makes no sense to me. Because, as every Jewish mother knows, you could put an eye out with that.

A drone is dropping hundreds of bags of weed over Rabin Square in the center of Tel Aviv. Jerusalem is for God, Tel Aviv is for living.

This is an incredible thread. Check it out and then read the story.
1/ A TaskRabbit contractor in San Antonio told me he stumbled onto a warehouse where people were repackaging non-medical Chinese masks so they could pass for medical use and be sold to Texas. So began my latest journey into the world of COVID profiteers ..

Here's a silver lining to stores being out of bread. The downside: I'm about to stress eat a loaf.
Last night, we braved Costco. It was, of course, bananas. But the woman who checked us out said it was nothing compared to the morning. There were 620 people in line to get in at 8 a.m., when she came in, she said. The store opened at 10 a.m. Our world is officially upside down.
I'm stress shopping for furniture, which (a) makes no sense, and (b) might say something about my survival instincts.

Especially now, and because it hits close to home, it's important to know what really happened -- or didn't happen. forward.com/news/national/43…
Three Jews stabbed in a synagogue in Monsey tonight. An intruder came into Rabbi Rottenberg's shul with a machete. There are no words to describe the anxiety of this moment.

I'm proud to call @DrashmanCNN a colleague and friend.
"I was basically tipped off to this because of the love of my son. And all of the other kids with seizure disorders." @DrashmanCNN grows emotional detailing his reporting on a pharmaceutical company accused of hiking prices and bribing doctors. cnn.it/2LgacoZ
