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.

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

Trump says he wants Jordan and Egypt to take in Palestinians from Gaza.
The president spoke ahead of a meeting with the Israeli prime minister at the White House, his first in-person meeting with another world leader since returning to power.

History is littered with democracies that lost their freedoms without seeming to notice while it was happening.
