I uploaded my transcription of the 1897 libretto of Bar Kochba. I think it's kind of timely for this season.

Sadly I can't attend my local no kings day rally, bc it will be Shabbat, so I wrote a little chant to the tune of מפי אל.
אין רשעים על כסא הנשיאות
ואין מלכים בארץ החירות
אין קיסרים על בני חורין
ואין מלוכה באמריקא
מפי העם מפי העם
ארור

Great video about the organization of the American revolution. Especially in present times we forget that people don't magically rise in resistance, they need to first organize and plan their political actions. youtu.be/FCShsGCkOP4?...

it is very telling of these guys’ conception of how power works that they see issuing a flurry of executive orders as evidence of presidential strength and vigor and not a sign that the president is too weak to pursue a serious legislative agenda
Real "Dear Leader" type shit here

A silly yiddish joke from 1921
A christian asks a Jew, why are Jews mostly poor and Christians are generally rich? The Jew answered. The christian god Jesus died and passed on his estate, but the Jewish god is still alive so we can't inheret.

I enjoyed watching the 1923 Yiddish silent film East and West. The acting is very good and is probably a nice example of Yiddish vaudville physical acting. It's a good movie but I have some reservations
