Steve Bannon is nothing if not a provocateur. And this kind of intentional provocation is deadly serious, endangering all of us, Jews and non-Jews alike.

I am really outdone. The Maryland National Guard cannot celebrate Frederick Douglass, the state’s native son and perhaps the greatest American this nation ever produced, because he’s Black and his chosen birthday happened to fall during Black History Month. (Ask me why he had to choose is b-day)

Unreal. The US government is dumping Asian and African families and children in random countries that they have no connection to. Dumping, not "deporting." Deportation implies the return of a person to their home country. This is treating people like toxic waste. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-depo...

Seven years ago, 17 students were murdered at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. While the Parkland community has forever changed, America's gun laws are the same. The only way to honor the memory of those taken is to make our schools and streets safer with commonsense gun reforms.

With both RFK Jr and Gabbard confirmed, two people who rose to prominence spreading conspiracy theories about public health and national intelligence will now run the U.S. government agencies in charge of those areas. For someone studying these conspiracy theories for a decade... this is nauseating.
