  A Friendly Message To Mamdani

  Jul 10, 202513 minS0

  <p>I’m an orthodox, Jewish, Israel-American who does not believe that Zohran Mamdani is an antisemite, unlike many in my demographic. I reject the idea that people who have issues with Zionism are automatically labeled as antisemites. I do have some constructive criticism for Mamdani where I try to convey how the term “globalize the Intifada” sounds and feels to many, especially in NYC.</p> <br/><br/>Get full access to Michael Scott - Thinking Out Loud at mslipkin.substack.com/subscribe

  Is Cruelty The Answer To Excess Wokeness?

  Jun 11, 202524 minS0

  <p>Fundamentally, wokeness is a good thing. However, like all good things you can have too much. Excesses can create a new set of problems. It seems, unfortunately, that cruelty has become the overwhelming response to the excesses of wokeness. </p><p>I discuss what wokeness is, how it became excessive and give examples of how anti-wokeness has become cruel. I draw on an episode of the original Star Trek series to explore a path forward. </p><p>Article - Massachusetts teen arrested by ICE</p><p>https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/massachusetts-student-arrested-by-ice-on-his-way-to-volleyball-practice-has-been-released </p><p>Article - USNS Harvey...

  Does America Still Want "Huddled Masses Yearning to Breathe Free"?

  May 22, 202539 minS0

  <p>In this episode I discuss my thoughts about how the U.S. is currently dealing with immigration and immigrants. As an immigrant to Israel I lean on my experience to compare Israel to the U.S. I also reserve some particularly sharp critique for Trump’s current Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller. </p><p>Emma Lazarus’s sonnet “The New Colossus” </p><p>https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/46550/the-new-colossus</p><p>Denver Mayor Mike Johnston on his city’s handling of immigrants</p><p>www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz6U5vwCcak&t=299s</p><p>Ronald Reagan’s farewell a...

  Should Citizens Worry About Returning To The US?

  Apr 23, 202534 minS0

  <p>I was an early adopter of social media, especially Facebook. It was a natural progression for me from writing letters to the editor, calling talk radio, and creating my own family website. I discuss some virtues and vices of social media and then how it might be skewing my perception of the behavior of the current US administration as it regards entry of citizens to the US in a very fraught environment where basic rights have been called into question. </p><p>The Lipkin Family website</p><p>https://www.lipkinfamily.com/</p><p>Ezra Klein explains the case...

  What If We Could 'Cure' Down Syndrome?

  Apr 1, 202541 minS0

  <p>I have a 17 year old son with Down syndrome whom I adore. I discuss his birth, development, education and more. I then get into some philosophical issues regarding the growing trend to abort fetuses when Down syndrome is detected and a discussion of a hypothetical future where it would be possible to “cure” Down syndrome.</p><p>My blog post about Yisrael’s birth</p><p>https://www.lipkinfamily.com/blog/adventure.htm</p><p>Yisrael’s Bar Mitzvah highlight video</p><p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FnzK5WLUUIM</p><p>World Down Syndrome Day video</p><p>https...
