.@billkristol on the GOP candidates' silence on Jan. 6:
They are "scared of Trump and scared of mentioning Jan. 6. If you mention Jan. 6...It raises a whole bunch of issues that are quite important for the country, but these Republican candidates don't want to talk about it.”

75 years ago tonight: Kristallnacht.
Jewish homes, shops, and schools ransacked; 267 synagogues destroyed. 30,000 Jews arrested and sent to camps.
This followed shortly after the appeasement at Munich, and after two decades of U.S. isolationism.
The old synagogue in Aachen:

Having not watched last night's debate for the sake of my good cheer or at least sanity, I pinged Republican or Republican-ish friends for their judgment.
Best response: "I fell asleep last night but I think consensus is Vivek is truly a vile piece of sh_t and Nikki did fine."

What's the best use of your time, attention, and resources if you are living in the USA and have concerns about our country's direction?
Good question!
You are the best person to answer that. It's a democracy, after all.
Do something small that you know needs to be done.

The censure of #RashidaTlaib is really bothering me. Other elected officials have made really vile statements about Palestinians, Israel, Jews, and Muslims, and it seems only she has been singled out.

It has always seemed to me that a standing duck is in just as much peril as a sitting one.

@ClintonAnderson @SallyStrange Now if only there were an easy way to go back and see who I haven’t followed back because I had to put in a request. I found two!

Happy birthday to #inventor Hedy Lamarr (1914 – 2000) & Hollywood star. Born Hedwig Keisler in Vienna, she gained fame after her risqué & notorious starring role in Machatý's ‘33 film Ecstasy. Mandl, 1st of 6 husbands, objected & tried unsuccessfully to buy all copies of film. Hedy objected to him, a munitions manufacturer, dealing with fascists despite both being of Jewish heritage. She learned secret of her beauty was to "stand there and look stupid” … 🧵1/n
I’ve gotten a number of new followers lately whom I’d like to follow back, but they require a request to follow. That seems to defeat the point of this kind of social media, so I don’t request.
If you’re tooting publicly so that your followers can boost your posts and I can see and interact with you, why do you need a private account?

I’m all out of WaPo gift articles for the month because I try and share so many but it sure is, Mr. Milbank. It sure is.
Most of the Jewish Americans I know have a living memory of relatives or very recent ancestors who suffered unbelievable antisemitic violence in pogroms or in the Shoah. Most are also anti-Netanyahu and for a genuine multi-state solution. Not that it seems to matter.

@AlliFlowers @SrRochardBunson I grew up a pastors daughter. We were Protestant until I was ten when we converted to Eastern Orthodox. I'm not trying to be rude, but from my own experiences; the idea that the rivalry between denominations (in North America at least) is even comparable to the complete dismissal of groups like Jews, Muslims or Indigenous nations, is so absurd it's almost offensive.

There’s going to be so much right-wing violence and terror next year. I don’t think people are ready for what’s coming.
