A DOJ lawyer accused Harvard of ‘indifference to antisemitism.’ As a Harvard undergrad he wrote a paper from Hitler’s perspective. - The Boston Globe
Michael Velchik once also told a peer that "Mein Kampf" was among his favorite recent reads.

Random pet peeve of mine is people who talk shit about Chihuahuas. They are such a smart and loyal dogs. It’s not their fault that their owners treat them like toys. I miss my Norton.

Local TV news has stood out during this fire coverage here in LA. It’s been accessible to most people (you can watch for free if you have a tv and an antenna) and unlike digital content, it doesn’t require paying to bypass a paywall to access coverage. #lafires

Just doing some math. The US has 195 F- 22 planes at $135 million a piece. 1 F-22 would pay for 2600 fire fighters. One expensive aircraft carrier (13 B), would fund the LA fire department for 12-15 years.

What we are not gonna do is come for Patti LaBelle over her support of a gay man. Miss Patti was an ally long before that ish was cool. The people who are giving her grief are the reason Luther staid in the closet.
