Imagine escaping the literal Nazis, making it to America, living three quarters of a century there making your life, and then this:
79-year-old Paul Bojerski was born to Polish parents in a WWII German refugee camp. His family legally emigrated to the U.S. when he was 5.
He’s been taken by ICE in Florida.

Watching @msnbc.com hosts turn themselves inside out last night trying to explain why Schumer wouldn’t endorse Mamdani IN HIS OWN STATE was laughable. There was one reason: I$rael.
And they just couldn’t say it.

Watching @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social question this doctor after over 18 months of this is nauseating. It’s TOO F*CKING LATE. Now you want to talk about the int’l law violations?

They’re going to accidentally deport a U.S. citizen aren’t they
Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

“…at least fight against the theft of your own soul.”
One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

Now is not the time for passive peace. Be brave.
Every act of courage matters now.
Don't leave it to someone else - an authority, someone with power. You need to be brave.
We always spoke of everyday kindness. What we need now is everyday courage.

After 15 months of funding an Israeli genocide, after decades of supporting and funding Israel’s apartheid, imprisonment and torture of Palestinians, supporting the mass destruction of Gaza, and 65 000 deaths, I did this five days before leaving office. One phone call 15 months ago was all it took.

In context, this is also what happens when there’s only a binary choice in elections. That is not democracy.

Chef Andrés surely deserves the medal of freedom and many others for his tireless work; but what a disgusting display of cognitive dissonance by Biden and others pretending like genocide isn’t being funded, armed, and supported by this president.
