26 March 1905 | An Austrian Jew, Viktor Frankl, was born in Vienna. A neurologist & psychiatrist. One of the founders of psychological humanism.

He passed through Theresienstadt and the camps of Auschwitz, Kaufering & Türkheim. He survived. Author of 'Man in Search of Meaning'.

Your periodic reminder that Medicare For All would save $450 billion in health care costs and 68,000 lives per year.

A state rep got caught committing securities fraud. A grand jury indicted him on felony charges. Years passed. The defendant was elected attorney general. Years more passed.

Now he has agreed to accept punishment. He must pay nearly $300,000 in restitution, take legal ethics classes and perform 100 hours of community service.

And he remains attorney general.

Given these impossible facts—what state are we in?

…in seeking the #GagOrder last month, #AlvinBragg’s prosecutors highlighted #Trump’s “longstanding history of attacking witnesses, investigators, prosecutors, judges, & others involved in #legal proceedings against him” — comments that the judge seized on in his ruling.

“His statements were threatening, inflammatory, denigrating,” Justice #Merchan wrote in the Tues order.

Question. As Threads federates, how can someone there follow us here, or vice versa?

"If he [Trump] were any other person, he would have been sentenced to prison many times over with no real hope of release: Sexual assault. Decades of fraud. Attempted extortation of a foreign leader. Stealing classified documents. Flagrant acceptance of what very much looks like bribes. Attempting to overthrow democracy. Inciting a violent riot that got people killed."

Four years ago today, the U.S. officially became the global epicenter of the Covid pandemic amid Trump's botched response, with more confirmed cases than any other nation.

I guess that's one way of putting "America First."

Yeah, Trump now IS a massive national security risk. He is now 'invited' to go seek every foreign despot to contribute to his emergency bond fund

Matisyahu interview with the AJC:

“The Jewish people don't really give up. They’re fighters. … a vision of peace, and a vision of hope, and of empathy. I really, truly believe that that is at the core of who we are. And that is what we are actually fighting for.” #Matisyahu #Jewish #Mazeldon

Off the ledge folks. Only the bond amount to appeal is reduced. He still owes the half a billion and it's still accruing daily interest.

Secondly Trump still has to post this $175 million dollar bond. He has 10 days to do so. If he can post the bond in 10 days, this ruling is 'stayed' so delayed for over a year

If Trump has not posted this $175 million dollar bond in 10 days, then Letitia James can collect $458 million dollars
