The Non-Profit Security Grant Program (NSGP) for 2025 has been released, including the FY 2025 Dept of Homeland Security Standard Terms and Conditions. No, our congregation will not comply with the administration's requirement to neglect DEI and to cooperate with ICE. We will not apply for funding that is supposed to protect us if it means sacrificing democratic principles. Such an agreement would not make Jews or anyone else safer. As Jewish Council for Public Affairs Director Amy Spitalnick teaches us: Jewish safety requires inclusive democracy and inclusive democracy requires Jewish safety.

Also, this administration has made synagogues less safe by adding requirements to federal security grants which many synagogues, including my own, will not compromise their values to make.

We will continue to love the stranger and extend kindness, for we were once strangers in the land of Egypt.

The local county sherrif says nobody has been injured at this point. The students and staff of the daycares are confirmed safe and are free to leave.

No injured victims as far as first responders can tell at the moment.

With Italy scoring 5 runs, the USA has basically clinched advancing. The only risk was Italy losing but not giving up many runs, but that's not really possible anymore. (It's not definite because extra innings could get weird, but it's close.) Go team!

Seems fine for me.

I'm guessing Ojulari didn't count as compensatory for some reason (playing time?), which would mean that the 6th rounder is for losing Isaiah Rodgers. I wonder if Howie foresaw that possibility; I wonder if it's part of why Ojulari's playing time didn't just drop but completely disappeared.

Guessing that Azeez Ojulari was for some reason considered non-compensatory, so he no longer canceled out the loss of Isaiah Rodgers. I wonder if Howie saw that coming.

I've been waiting for this post for almost 52 weeks!

remember to set your clocks tonight. time begins at 2 am

One of them is Fetterman

The first pitch will determine how the next 15 years of Phillies baseball will go

Ok but mail voting? And states with only mail voting?

Or is it that I don't have the Olympics to distract me anymore? I really need baseball season to start.

Was today a shittier day for the world than our recent baseline, or was I just on Bluesky more and unable to tell the difference?

It's xkcd.com/978/ only so much worse.

Do you remember how you felt that one time when I posted a picture to social media of myself eating pasta on the 8th day of Passover because I observe one fewer day than everyone else? That's how I feel right now.

It's a good deal. No one wants to read aviation journalism that's merely somewhat pcotty

Many Philadelphians are not fans of the weather.

"There's a blizzard, stay home for your own safety" is so car-brained. I had a long, lovely walk this evening.

This McDavid kid seems good (I've barely watched hockey in a decade)

Jack Hughes sounds too much like j'accuse

He's the best. Like Al Michaels in his prime.

Ok I'm finally out of bed and watching.
