The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

The spouse and I decided to unwind last night by watching an episode of Wonder Man. What was supposed to be one episode quickly turned into bingeing three. What a great show! Highly recommend. #WonderMan #Marvel #Disney+

It's so interesting to me how consistently students describe Pharisees with the word "strict", even when a gospel story is simply a matter of "how" to observe a given commandment. The idea of legalism is ingrained early. Then you introduce them to the Talmud...surprise! flexibility!

In 1850, after the Fugitive Slave Act was a federal law, it didn't matter if a person who was formerly enslaved had manumission or freedom papers, or if a person was born free, enslavers and their collaborators still kidnapped people and trafficked them to labor camps.

Let's also be clear, it is not the "cities" that are the issue. It is the ethnic & racial diversity of the people who live in cities. This is also why there is a lack of "this thing is good" messaging because it benefits a diverse group of people.

Deep Space Nine scene. Jadzia Dax and Dr. Bashir are in their blue uniforms sitting in the operations center. Bashir is gazing lovingly at Dax. Dax is looking at something else entirely not named Bashir. Closed caption reads, "Men are far too emotional to be leaders."

This Day in Labor History: May 30, 1937. Chicago police opened fire on strikers in front of the Republic Steel mill, killing 10 workers. This was Little Steel's successful attempt to resist unionization. In response to the last major violence against American unions, FDR did nothing! Let's talk!

Wanted to try this #Passover dish that was printed in the local Jewish paper. Might be a little late, but it turned out well! Our variation of klops uses Impossible ground beef, onions, 3 hard-boiled eggs, and matzo meal. Leftover matzah on the side.
Two slices of meatloaf, called klops, sit on a blue & white paper plate with a broken board of matzah - unleavened bread typically eaten during Passover. One slice has a hard-boiled egg slice visible in it.A meatloaf variety called klops rests as a whole loaf on parchment paper in a Pyrex pan.
