Historian unashamedly obsessive about anything to do with 1918-19 flu pandemic. Or weissbier. Also interested in history ofepidemics, vaccination, southern Irish Protestant identity, newspapers, oral history, current affairs…and I love good company.

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide.

As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire.

End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Well called. If we want to move forward, we need to respect all traditions. Border lives are complicated. And reporters need to understand that better, and ensure their reportage does not look like bias.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
