Stephen Miller, descendant of immigrants fleeing pogroms, who himself leads the US anti-immigrant pogrom:
“Migrants and their descendants recreate the … terrors of their broken homelands”

Stephen Miller’s ancestors were Jewish refugees from the pogroms in czarist Russia. They came to the U.S. in the early twentieth century, even as racists said this same stuff about them.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Research shows that volunteering can be helpful for retirees’ health and well-being. For @motherjones.com, I spoke to four retirees about how they’re giving back to their communities to resist current happenings. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Turns out fighting fascism helps you live longer
Retirees are mobilizing to defend democracy—and the benefits literally show up in their DNA.

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t make me, an American Jew, feel unsafe.
Having the Coast Guard, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, decide that a swastika isn’t really a symbol of hate? That makes me, an American Jew, feel pretty damn unsafe.

Sorry but when he said ‘homo faber’ i thought it was about #2 pencils
Is our self-conception as homo faber / "tool-using animals" just because stone endures better than behavior?
If we had ethnographic records of australopithecines, H. erectus, &c, would all the stages between simian communication and "language" add up to a story more fascinating than flint?
