Excellent news for historians of gender & sexuality, modern Central Europe, the Holocaust, all of us, really: Robert Sommer's pathbreaking 2009 book on forced sexual labor in Nazi concentration camps, a classic in the field, has been translated into English & published by Fordham University Press.

πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ I so hope this is correct. πŸ₯°

My question is always how many ppl who live in these small towns that benefit from the NEH voted for Kamala Harris?

Or wait til Monday morning so you can ruin the beginning of their staffs' week. Be polite but clear: this really is Nazi stuff. Call the locals offices, too, because you can get actual ppl. So, the US government resorts to disappearing ppl they don't like, eh? It can happen to you.

Congratulations to the editors of/contributors to this volume, hot off the press. Good work!

β€ͺMississippi College School of Law's website: Build your future on a foundation of compassionate, scholarly legal training as you follow the Christian call to β€œdo good, seek justice, correct oppression.” Did graduate & immigration judge Jamee E. Comans miss this opportunity? 😐

Are there any honest Republicans in Congress?

Glad to see @nytimes.com speak up late, far, far to late. I'm a tad suprised there's no whataboutism here...

Frequent your local library & donate to it. And, any others, if you can afford to. πŸ₯°

I'm thinking Die Welt von Gestern. And wishing we lived in less interesting times.

Hand-me-downs are/were simply a familial version of thrifting, not necessarily a sign of lacking $. More a sign of good common sense. Like gardening. And passing along books. It's sometimes called sharing.

John Roberts did this, all on his lonesome. He's a stain on every legal entity w/ which he has had to do. Imagine his legacy.

"There are only two place... that Trump would feel pain if a protest march ending in a rally at a music concert were to be orchestrated: Mar a Lago in Florida and Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey." We did well Saturday, we'll do better NEXT time! open.substack.com/pub/thewestp...

Is this the same Bill Ackman who tries to destroy free speech at universities?

Great that @nytimes.com has published this, but where were its detailed reports on Saturday's marches? And, why does it continue w/ Whataboustism? So many good venues for important journalism. This is not one.

Maybe call the Republican "Docs" in the Senate to complain: Bill Cassidy (LA) & Roger Marshall (KS), both of whom supported Wormbrain for HHS Secy. Call their DC & local offices give them an earful. And, btw, tell them to grow spines & advocate for removal of the economy-crashing tariffs.

Call their local offices, too. All of them. You're more likely to get a human being. Call your governors, esp. Republicans, so they can make noise...

Imagine being related to someone who works for ICE. This is inhumane--unchristian, if that is your persuasion--behavior & if you can square it w/ your conscience, there's also something wrong w/ you. UGH.

And if you're protesting, wear dark glasses and hats. Long sleeves to cover tatoos. 😘

Leave your smart (surveillance) phones at home. Need a phone? Get a burner. Best not at Target. Want pics? Take your camera.
