So many of my older Jewish friends and relatives, including much of my own family, supported the Anti-Defamation League, literally for generations, for reasons including:

— They cared about civil rights
— They cared about fighting antisemitism
— They understood that the two are inseparable

We have forgotten what it's like to hold a child paralyzed with polio or comfort a mom who has lost her child from measles. It wasn’t that many generations ago. And I don‘t want to see us go backward. They protect children. They are our best defense against these terrible illnesses.

Interesting that an article about US concentration camps is in the "business" section of the paper.

I started using blue books for daily reflection in class about readings and class discussions. 5 minutes of quiet time and private reflection. The BB is reused each class until full. Students seemed to appreciate it. No one complained about "hand cramps."

A gorgeous Ruth Asawa exhibit at the MoMA in NYC. Who knew that two mesh cones would make a Magen David appear from all directions❣️

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…

* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M

So YES this has been a huge success.

A thread of some of the men appointed bishops in the United States by Pope Leo. This is so needed when immigrants, Hispanics, and marginalized populations are under such threat from the Trump-Vance administration.

But it's more upsetting. Trump didn't go up there and put it up. Someone ordered a design and the letters, hired a crew to mount it. Who are these people?

AI-assisted writing in 1716. #skystorians

A man is sitting at a desk, writing a book with a quill. He is not looking at the page. A godly book, illuminated, is also present in the copperplate print of 1716. The godly message of the flying book is in German and from the Bible: Im Anfang war das Wort Joh:1 v:1". A light beam from the holy book to the yet blank page can also be seen with the words inscribed: „Dein Wort ist ein Licht auf meinem Wege Ps. 119 v. 105“. So, basically, god is the textual inspiration of the author's work. It looks like he is waiting an artificial hallucination in 1716. The source: https://portraits.hab.de/werk/17512/mirador

Vance: "Why have rents gone down for 4 consecutive months? Because we're starting to get those illegal aliens out of the USA. Those criminals, those gang members, those people that are taking homes that ought by right go the people in this room. It's simple economics."
