- Reposted by Rabbi Ruti ReganFor the doubters about the demand list: Thune is literally saying they won't engage with a list that more or less just asks to recodify that it's illegal to break the laws they're already breaking. Now they have congressional Republicans committed to letting masked goons break into your home
- Do kids really not read whole books in school anymore, or is that an internet moral panic thing?

- Reading a #UDL textbook. It’s talking about the importance of flexible accessible materials. It contains a lot of tables that are completely incomprehensible on a screen reader.
- This matters.
- Reposted by Rabbi Ruti ReganGiven that they are not winning, and in fact probably cannot win, the goal needs to be stopping them, as quickly and permanently as possible, so that we have to rebuild less in the aftermath
- Reposted by Rabbi Ruti ReganGuys they are really, really not winning It sucks what they’re doing to our country, and my city especially God only knows how much damage they’ll do before they’re stopped, much of it irreversible But they are very much not winning
- Reposted by Rabbi Ruti ReganI teach a science media literacy module in all my courses. It includes knowing the difference between a press release and a reported news story. Here's a really interesting new research paper about public understsanding of that difference! #SciComm 🧪 jcom.sissa.it/article/pubi...
- Reposted by Rabbi Ruti ReganSen Tillis’ continues to promise to block further fed nominations until the criminal investigation into Powell is resolved. He is clear that the action is rooted in lawfare and has no basis. He’s a witness. www.cnbc.com/2026/02/04/f...
- This has gotten me thinking that a lot of us (myself included) are having to face the realization that we’re not as brave or as bold as the movie version in our head led us to expect ourselves to be.
- Reposted by Rabbi Ruti ReganThe only tool ICE has is force. They cannot penalize legal activity through the courts and their efforts to do so are destroying the DOJ.
- And from another angle, some kids are being told, “everyone’s different and that’s ok! Be you!” when what they really need to be told is more like “There are a lot of ways to be a person. Don’t be bully.”
- I feel like sometimes we say "everyone's different and that's ok" to kids who really need to hear something more like "you're worthy of respect even if people are being hateful to you".
- No #ParshaChat today. See everyone next time.
- Protests are meant to be visible. That’s the whole point. I’m alarmed by the takes circulating on social media that amount to “try to make the protest as invisible as possible, don’t connect with organizers, and pretend you weren’t there.”
- Grumpy middle aged autistic opinion: We really need to stop calling every skill an autistic person develops “masking”.
- Just in case anyone else needs to hear this: Reading to your kids counts as reading.
- I think one of the best superpowers for parents and teachers to cultivate is the ability to refrain from taking developmentally appropriate behavior personally.
- Crowdsourcing: Tell me something cool or interesting about trees.

- Reposted by Rabbi Ruti ReganThe Senate is scheduled to take the first procedural vote on a funding package including DHS funding tomorrow. Let me be clear: Until ICE is properly reined in and overhauled, the DHS funding bill won’t have the votes to pass the Senate.
- A lot of “protest safety advice” circulating on social media seems to me to amount to “make the protest less visible, avoid connecting with protest organizers, and pretend you weren’t there.” That’s… kind of suspicious.
- Reposted by Rabbi Ruti ReganJust in time for a new funding fight, WaPo reports that DHS has not really investigated ANY of 16 shooting incidents. Dems should demand real investigations for all of these (maybe get Robert Storch, fired DOD IG to do it) AND ALSO LaMonica McIver event. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

- We've reached the end of the scheduled #ParshaChat, but please feel free to continue the conversation!
