I don’t live in New York City. I can’t vote in the mayoral election. But the failure of so many Jewish leaders to meaningfully engage with what Cuomo’s election might mean for women has deeply alarmed me."
As a Jewish woman, Emily Tamkin looks at the response of a certain sector of Jewish leaders in New York who see Mamdani as a singular threat to Jews and notes what's missing:
"There’s an understanding of Jewish safety missing from that viewpoint — one that largely impacts Jewish women.
Cuomo resigned as governor after being accused of sexually harassing multiple women — 13, per the Department of Justice — while in office."

Lettland hat den Ausstieg aus der Istanbul-Konvention für den Schutz von Frauen gegen Gewalt beschlossen. Die Volksvertretung in Riga stimmte nach einer mehrstündigen Diskussion für den Rückzug des baltischen EU- und Nato-Landes aus dem Übereinkommen des Europarats.
Mit dem Erstarken der Rechten Denke werden auch Frauen wieder stärker unter Druck gesetzt, initialisiert und auf ein Frauenbild der 60er reduziert.
Das sind nur die Anfänge

"the documents showed that #JPMorgan had repeatedly alerted regulators to red flags surrounding #Epstein by filing suspicious activity reports.

That destruction is crystallized and illustrated in the starkest way possible in his razing of a wing of the White House to build a guilded ballroom as he chooses to withhold support for food to hungry families and children.
Please don't tell me you can justify all this in the name of Jesus Christ.
Because you can't.

White Christians own the Trump presidency, having voted — across the board from evangelicals to mainline Protestants to Catholics — three times in the majority for Trump.
And for his cruelty visited on children, immigrants, his critics… And for his destruction of longstanding norms of decency and respect for the Constitution that keep democracy going.

In the essay I've just linked, Faulkenberry responds to an Arkansas man who emailed her a lengthy response to her previous statement about spiritual abuse, saying that, in effect, she's painting with a broad brush, that not all Christians and not all Southern Baptists are like what she's describing.
