True. I pondered using “humans” rather than “Americans”, and maybe “westerners” is appropriate in this moment in history. I dunno, but there’s a lot of bubbling anger around that doesn’t have appropriate outlets.

Americans are so bad at expressing anger in a meaningful way, when we’re triggered, any old place will do.

Marion was married to Elie for 56 years until his death in 2016. She passed away yesterday at the age of 94. May her memory be a blessing.

Marion went on to translate 14 of Elie's books from French to English. She also produced TV programs and wrote and narrated a Holocaust education documentary. In 1986, she and Elie co-founded The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity.

By that time, he was an established writer, and she was working as an editor and translator. They bonded over their individual connections to the Holocaust and their shared interest in humanitarian causes, eventually marrying in 1969.

…including his renowned book Night.
She was born on January 27, 1931, in Vienna. During WWIl, her family fled Nazi-occupied Austria and eventually found refuge in Switzerland in 1942, before immigrating to the US in 1949.
Marion and Elie Wiesel met in the 1960s in New York.

Isn’t “creators” a slightly less pathetic euphemism for “influencers”? I certainly don’t want those “look-at-me-look-at-me” yahoos investigating anything.

Im so sorry this is happening to you. Extremism is horrible. People who haven’t been around family estrangement have no idea how difficult it is. Sending much love and healing.

I agree that Mika and Joe’s trip to MAL was concerning, and I’m cautiously watching how their coverage might change.
I’m not sure I agree this was out of line, though. David Frum’s comment “if you’re too drunk for Fox…” made it seem like everyone at Fox is a drunk, and that’s not right or fair.

Aside from JD’s oh so coy fawning to the dictator-in-chief, this map is so frustrating because not all counties are equal. I live in Howard County. There are 7 Howard Counties in the US. The one I live in has a population 330,000. None of the others break 100k, yet all are equal squares on the map.
