In 1931 in Kiel, Germany, Rachel Posner, the wife of a rabbi, took this picture.
On the back of the photograph she wrote:
“‘Death to Judah,’ so the flag says.
‘Judah lives forever,’ so the light answers.”
The light will continue to answer the darkness. Happy Hanukkah.

It’s easy to feel like the world is mostly broken, and our job is just to hold the pieces together as best we can.

The announcement came days after Colbert spoke out against the $16 million paid earlier this month by Paramount, the parent company of CBS News.

My latest blog post, on the Idaho attorney general's terribly misguided take on the "Everyone is Welcome Here" signs.
It's Not a Political Statement
Welcome is not political. It's biblical. Welcome is not a threat. It's a blessing.

I would like to call for a moratorium on the phrase "let that sink in."
Nothing makes me want to do the opposite more than hearing someone utter (or write) that phrase.

A corrupt system is when you need 60 Senate votes to protect voting rights, universal healthcare, reproductive rights, climate justice, lgbtq rights, immigration justice, and a living wage—but only 51 votes to strip them all away. #BigScamBill

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy.
These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households.
If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?
