First, they came for the Latinos; now, they are coming for the Woodstock Generation!
Recently, Steven Miller mocked the DC protestors demonstrating against the federalization of the DC police, referring to them as “stupid, elderly white hippies :
“All these demonstrators that you’ve seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they’re not part of the city and never have been…
“So we’re gonna ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they’re all over 90 years old, and we’re gonna get back to the business of protecting the American people and the citizens of Washington, D.C.”

Hersh’s hippie creds are rock solid.
Richard Avedon photographed The Law Commune,” which included my now “aging hippie” husband, who, as a young lawyer, was a part of this group in the early 1970s.
Along with assisting other hippies seeking to get out of the draft, they represented Abbie Hoffman at the Chicago 7 Trial.
A proud white hippie!
But now, after having spent that same afternoon at the Anne Frank Exhibit in NYC, I couldn’t help but wonder -Do I need to be hiding my former hippie husband in the attic from that hate monger Miller?
Envisioning The American Dream 
Miller is dangerous, the rhetoric is vile and the fact that he represents the current administration is terrifying. Sad to say he has said so many worse things. But who should feel safe these days?

Millers stupidity is breathtaking only surpassed by his evil spirit. Hie lack of empathy is pathological which seems to be a job requirement to work for the Trump administration. This comment of course wasn’t his most offensive, but it was dismissive and disrespectful and ignorant. It is even laughable, but the consequences of what he says are never something to laugh at

One fascist among many, including hitler youth recruiters who are being celebrated now.
Can you believe Stephen is a member of a Jewish family with roots in Eastern Europe. His maternal great-great-grandfather immigrated to the U.S. in 1903 to escape pogroms in Belarus!!!
Remember that the emeritus Rabbi at Stephen and his family’s synagogue had in 2018 expressed embarassment and shame “that a jew in a leadership role could give voice to support to such inhumanity”. The Rabbi once again “…… felt compelled to raise the topic again after seeing Miller speak at Trump’s rally in madison square garden [2024] where he [Miller] said “America is for americans and americans only”
In recent days [the Rabbi continued] Trump and Miller’s declarations have only become more threatening, volatile and venomous. In them I hear echoes of ominous promises that Jews have heard throughout history. Promises that too often have come true”
