I’m also excited to announce that later this summer, I will begin a postdoctoral fellowship at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. My husband and I are really thrilled to return to the DMV for the next two years. Now we just have to find a place, pack, and move 😅

And, in a time in which so many in our country are calling for our congress leaders to do something, anything, to resist! - Booker is at least actively NOT doing what his colleagues have been doing on a daily basis since Inauguration Day.

Resistance is significant if it aids in survival. If it inspires others. If it manages to stop oppression, even just for the short term. If it creates networks, facilitates communication.

I believe Booker is doing something that amounts to resistance here - let’s debate what not if.

Even within my own studies of resistance during the Holocaust, I’ve received pushback from scholars claiming something similar - were these acts “resisting” if they did not actually make a difference in fighting the Nazi regime?

I don’t believe resistance has to be all or nothing.

…citizenship. But in the harsh reality that is 2025, I doubt they’d question it now.

If there’s any chance Duda sees this (🤣) - we’ve traced my direct lineage back to the 18th century in Kurów, Poland.
