Mornin' all..
Please don't mind the fact that I'm literally melting from how humid it is.
Everything that’s happened the past few days shows why teaching history is so important. This entire week has been a best hits album of american racism, but bc many fail to understand its prior manifestations, people mistake regurgitated bigotry as if it appeared out of thin air.

Quote by Will in Chicago:
Raine, I fear that we are in for a very rough time.
I have heard people of color told to go "home." I know that the same sentiment has been directed to many groups - Latinos, Asians, African-Americans, and Jews. (Kellyanne Conway should be haunted by the ghosts of people of her ancestry who faced discrimination.)
As for Trump, I expect that the Epstein revelations will be hideous. I expect the GOP to not condemn him even if their is video evidence of a crime. I am sorry to say this but the party of Lincoln is dead. It has been placed by the party of Trump, with practices that George Orwell wrote about occurring under Stalin's Soviet Union. For the modern GOP, truth is malleable but power is paramount.

Morning
Parts of the family span the start of this country to the more recent 19th century for arrivals, we came from Germany & a few places that no longer exist (Bohemia and I suspect Prussia from some things I've seen).
Here' the thing though, as soon as they set a foot here, they became American's. We are and always will be a country that is based on immigrants, they just make us better. I'm proud of that.
Rep Omar's response was beautiful and perfect. I worry so much for her and the others. I'm scared that those who will willingly do harm will hurt those who are trying to do better.

Bob and Raine, my cousin has invited me for Shabbas lunch on Saturday. Is it okay if we reschedule for Sunday?

Or you can come over after lunch and spend the night.

There's been an arson fire at Kyoto Animation in Japan, one of the better known anime studios in the world.
The company had received threats before. A suspect is in custody. It's not been confirmed but I've seen some reports saying that employees at the company knew the guy (as if to say he's a disgruntled former employee).
