retired economics prof, terrified for our country
7 years ago today, 11 beloved Jewish people were murdered at a synagogue in Pittsburgh in an attack motivated by antisemitic conspiracy theories, anti-immigrant hate, and white supremacy.

May their memories be a blessing and may we keep fighting antisemitism in solidarity.

Please read this this Life article and pass it on. Ask your Congresspeople to speak out about it. This national security memorandum has the potential to criminalize anyone who criticizes Trump.

A recent lawsuit alleged something horrifying: Roblox--an online game platform used largely by minors--hosted digital “Diddy parties” and games where players must escape the notorious late child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. We are disturbed and loudly speaking out.
