Rob Reiner was a genius. He brought joy to this world, and in decades to come, people will still be laughing, crying, and quoting along to his incredible oeuvre.
Donald Trump is a nobody. History will remember him as a villain and a nasty, dim-witted, unloved one at that.

This is one reason that FGEN is more important than ever, Both of our co chairs @natacha.bsky.social and @parkesland.bsky.social were interviewed for this article. We've been quiet publically for the last few months, but we have been busy in the background more news in the new year.

Commission president cites illegal West Bank settlement plans, Gaza and attempts to ‘undermine two-state solution’
