People need to ask the creators of the film SAPIRO V FORD why they're presenting the work as their own without crediting (or even mentioning!) the book on which the film is based by legal historian Victoria Woeste.
Kinda scandalous.

Great night at Film at Lincoln Center at the New York Jewish Film Festival for a screening of SAPIRO V FORD, which features an outstanding performance (in a documentary!) by my friend Ben Shenkman. Sold out crowd & great experience. Congrats to the festival & film teams on a terrific event!

It's International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Of all the photos from this era I've seen - and I've seen a lot - this one is the most arresting.

If you're looking for more reasons to detest the #Greenland move, consider this: 90% of inhabitants are indigenous.
A repeat of the 1867 Alaska Purchase, a transaction between U.S. & Russia that ignored native (Tlingit, Inupiat, Yupik) sovereignty entirely.
We're redoing the 19th century, folks.

This "height of irony" is what Alito and company rely on to conclude that rights to (for example) privacy and bodily autonomy don't exist: X was forbidden in the past, so this shows there's no right to X.
Isn't that the height of irony?
