When I was in college I worked in a factory during the summer. The old guys would say hey college boy you sure don't know very much. This has become reality now.

The antisemitism was present in Germany long before the Nazis. What changed was the authoritarianism of Hitler and his thugs. Your last sentence is spot on!

We can only hope once the leader is gone, a moral president will use the power of a pardon.

Almost 72 hours later, I'm still savoring what I call the "Bad Bunny Bounce," the delightful, if illusionary, belief that I'm not living in a country throttled by haters, fascists and their craven lickspittles, that this entire nightmare may soon be driven back to the red hell from whence it came.

I don't know Neil, remote started the car which turned on the heated seats and steering wheel. Drove across town to get printer toner. Except for a couple of minutes going in and out, nice and toasty. It ain't like it used to be!

So today Trump cancelled the 2026 commemorative quarters featuring Fredrick Douglass and womens suffrage. In his mind slavery was good and allowing women to vote was bad?

So Trump took away the MLKs birthday and Juneteenth as free days at national parks and made his birthday a free day and HHS changed the name on the portrait of the first transgender health leader (Biden appointee). How racist and petty can this egotistical ass get?

@neilsteinberg.bsky.social Tatiana Schlossberg, 35 with 2 children, announces on the anniversary of her grandfather's assassination that she has terminal cancer. Is there such a thing as a curse on a family? Doesn't make sense and seems awfully unfair

All that Aryan imagery from the Department of Labor makes me want to ask them: "You know that racial purity shit didn't work out so well for the Germans?" Although ... they eventually learned. Maybe we will too. Chicago's bold response to ICE evokes this, from 2016: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMQk...

Setting aside the issue of basic humanity,HIV research has led to breakthroughs in the treatment of a number of other diseases. Now that may not matter to the cancel culture bunch, but for me as a cancer survivor and I am sure for you Neil as a diabetic, it's kind of a big deal.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

Instead of churning out a pun about the Butter Cow this year, I'm honored once again to unveil or squeegee the 104th Illinois State Fair Butter Cow. Thank you to our sculptor, Sarah Pratt, for her ninth consecutive butter cow on display.

One of my favorite three stooges shorts has the boys cooking a ham, Curly breaks a tooth on the bone. All of the stooges were observant jews and were buried with Jewish rites. I doubt mny people watched that short thinking why are they cooking a ham.

Working as a door keeper for the house you interact with lobbyists and representatives every day and you get to know them on a personal level. When I read press coverage of the house sessions and members I often find them portrayed as far different from the people that I know.
