Kill the Jews
Between puppy killers and calls to exterminate the Jews, my head is exploding. A despicable anti-Israeli protestor at George Washington University carried a sign calling for “ the Final Solution” the most bone-chilling two words for a Jew to read.

Visiting The N.Y. World’s Fair 1964/65 With the Flintstones PTII
The New York World’s Fair in 1964/1965 attracted a boatload of luminaries, but none more incredible than Fred Flintstone. Traveling all the way from prehistoric Bedrock, Fred and Wilma, Barney and Betty couldn’t wait to see that showcase of mid-20th-century

Gettysburg Revisited
Like the South’s Lost Cause, so is Donald Trump’s attempt at history. Civil war buff, his assessment of Gettysburg is one for the books. Just not American History books. Even as an 8-year-old who, unlike Trump’s claims, really did

The Travesty of Trump Tower and Bonwit Teller
Trump Tower lives to see another day. For now, the tacky gold emblazoned skyscraper remains untouched by the New York courts, much like Trump himself. Seeing both knocked down would be pure justice. Long before I hated Donald Trump, I

It May Be 1864 in Arizona But Roevember is Coming
In 2024 right-wing Christian Nationalists are burning through women’s rights with the same fury and zeal as General Sherman did in 1864 when he destroyed and burned down everything in his path in his race to the sea. And now

Total Eclipse of the Sun Playing it Safe

Access Your Rights
As women’s access to reproduction rights is rapidly diminishing, the lesson that every new generation has to fight for the same rights to protect these rights has never been clearer. Progress is possible but not guaranteed. It is no wonder
