Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.
Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

The person who helped locate the Brown shooter is an immigrant. The person in Sydney who tackled one of the shooters is Muslim. Sometimes the people who are most willing to help others are from communities that know first-hand how much hatred threatens the values we need to live together.

No, Jews around the world don't suffer because of the actions of the government of Israel. Jews around the world suffer because antisemites use the actions of the government of Israel to justify attacks on Jews. And if you make the same association, you're also an antisemite.

At first, the Trump administration cut USAID and military aid to Ukraine, reducing existing programs to a minimum. Then it imposed tariffs on the EU. Now it acts surprised that it has little leverage in negotiations, as all sides ignore Trump’s sporadic demands and tantrums

Elon and his crew destroyed hundreds of veteran owned businesses. Two-thirds of the contracts DOGE canceled at the VA this year were with veteran-owned businesses. Some contracts were helping the VA register cancer patients or provide health care support to vets. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...
DOGE had a cutting spree. 550 vet-owned businesses felt it.
Among the contracts DOGE canceled under the Department of Veterans Affairs alone, two-thirds were with veteran-owned businesses.

I think that's an important point.
Any thoughts on the take (Phillip Bump) that because there was no public declaration on war until after the boat bombings became public, and this was the first such bombing, the victims could not possibly have understood they were in a war zone.

On one side of my family we have zero knowledge of our lineage before my grandpa. There was just nobody left to ask. He wasn’t even sure if his last name was real or made up. And there’s a story like this in almost every Ukrainian household.

The “peace plan” for Ukraine is just a framework for Russia & the US to take assets away from Ukrainian recovery, and to ensure Russia evades accountability for war crimes

93 years ago, Stalin instituted a man-made famine in Ukraine to break its resistance to Soviet occupation, killing millions. Now, Putin’s war and weaponization of hunger once again threaten Ukrainians' survival. We honor the victims of Stalin's famine by supporting Ukraine today.
