To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally."
In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong. (gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Family of Alex Pretti, who was shot dead in Minneapolis today, releases statement:
"The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump's murdering and cowardly ICE thugs."

It's not really a choice. If I couldn't work from home two days a week then I'd either have to cut my hours or quit because the only nursery in the village doesn't operate long enough hours for me to do a full day work + commute + drop-off and pick-up.
UK study (N=8,000) finds 58% of women would consider quitting their jobs if they could no longer work flexibly vs 42% of men. "For many working women, the stress and burnout of trying to juggle it all is very real."

Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

As a general matter, I also dislike the idea of respectability in dress because the concept is often unevenly applied. It bothered me to see Vance smirking during this moment, as he supposedly champions the forgotten working poor who are most often shamed because of these concepts.

Few wars are as historically, morally & legally clear cut as Russia's aggression against Ukraine. An American President unable to pick between Putin & Zelenskyy the cause of the war, the dictator, the one not ready for peace has switched sides & abandoned reality.
Trump: "You're in no position to dictate... You've allowed yourselves to be in a very bad position... You don't have the cards... What you're doing is very disrespectful"
Zelensky: "I'm with all respect."
Vance: "In this entire meeting have you said thank you?"
