What can written words printed sheets of paper still do? Might the current world need to revive an older form of resistance to avoid easy tracking?

Greenland is so vast, so utterly unique a landscape. The sounds of a glacier calving or drifting bits & pieces of flow ice. These few images are from a 2018 visit. I remember folk asking, "why Greenland?" So much to learn and experience.

Talk about a song of resistance: This stinging Brecht lyric, itemizing the spoils of the Nazis’ rampage across Europe only to close with the ultimate clapback, was perfectly set by Weill in 1942, long after he’d fled to the U.S. Still packs a punch. #dailysong youtu.be/r8kdxPwZP9I

Natl Symphony once performed works of a Gay Jewish Man and POC at Kennedy Center. Guess patriotic DEI programming days done. But on a dark Monday can NSO members find DC venue to perform/stream for free to take back KenCen? Speak up former Board members

This outrages as Vietnam War vet. Is there no shame? Will people of color & women I served with be disrespected esp by those who did not? Next will the Jewish star I earned on my grave marker no longer be permitted? Where is righteous indignation from Jewish groups? www.facebook.com/share/p/14tv...

Next month; 35 years since Oklahoma City Federal Building Bombing. 168 dead including babies. Now it is mentioned as a building to sell. For those of us old enough to remember & have visited, such a disgrace. Field of empty chairs represent those who perished. Where is the decency or outcry?

Reading re-issue of Andrew Dworkin's daring RIGHT-WING WOMEN (1983) has me conjure a learned, contemporary not-forbidden Talmudic duo session of vibrant, engaged debate. Shouldn't Talmud and any of us welcome vigorous debate. Have a read for yourself. www.facebook.com/share/p/1BXs...

Discounted or free tickets for furloughed or fired civil servants can be seen as a long-term investment in the future of the community.

Don't agree KenCen so "central" to DC's cultural life. Maybe for high rollers, business acct types, tourists & small % of DMV. There are 75 professional theater companies in area; they produce cultural touchstones. Several Regional Tony winners. Question: what will their 25-26 seasons be. Ask around
