Culture Nazi Punching: A (Short) Reading List
On April 15th, in Berkeley, we saw an increasingly familiar scene – violence at a political demonstration. At a “Patriots Day” rally, pro-Trump demonstrators, many of them self avowed fascists and Nazis, violently clashed with anti-fascist protestors (commonly referred to as “antifa”).

Opinion IfNotNow Is The Jewish Black Lives Matter
I spent last Shabbat with students from Harvard Hillel and was reminded, again, how important a generational movement IfNotNow is becoming. I don’t think most older American Jews grasp it yet.

Shia LaBeouf’s anti-Trump art exhibit has been shut down after gunfire possibly related to the installation was reported near its site in Albuquerque, New Mexico. “We have taken the stream down after shots were reported in the area,” the actor wrote Thursday morning on Twitter. “The safety of everybody participating in our project is paramount.”…

Food Ivanka-Brand Lox Dropped By Brooklyn Shop? Now We’ve Heard Everything
Did another Ivanka-branded product just get dropped by a retailer? Ivanka-brand lox, whitefish and herring apparently will no longer be sold at Shelsky’s of Brooklyn, the smoked fish and appetizing emporium. If you’ve read this far, you may have figured out that Ivanka smoked fish doesn’t exist, and that Shelsky’s co-owner Peter Shelsky was making…
