Zohran Mamdani at the NY #Knicks #NBA Championship parade and celebration in New York City had a speech that - regardless of rooting interest - was spot on!! I think Mamdani should be Mayor for the entire #UnitedStates!

"I recently presented a paper on #KhaimZhitlovsky, a major proponent of #secular #Jewish #diaspora nationalism and Jewish nationhood, at the Association for #Canadian #JewishStudies annual conference at #YorkUniversity in #Toronto.

#Zhitlovsky was born in #Ushachi near #Vitebsk in what is now #Belarus in 1865. A leading architect of secular #Jewishculture and thought, he was a central figure in the progressive Jewish intelligentsia of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century in #Canada and the #UnitedStates.

At a Jewish International Cultural Conference organized in #Paris in September 1937, the Alveltlekher #Yiddisher Kultur Farband (#YKUF) was founded, and he was one of the supporters. As the honorary president of the YKUF in the #UnitedStates, Zhitlovsky became an icon of the #Yiddishist #Communist movement, particularly in western Canada, where he had inspired the founding of a strong secular #Yiddish school system."

TIL about the Virtues in the Library of Congress

Even though it's a drive for me, I'll always prefer the Jim Lovell VA hospital north of Chicago. Clean, well run and I get good care here.

"This is a big fat L. Full-blown capitulation. This is #Trump saying uncle and proving to the entire world that #Iran doesn’t need a nuclear weapon, they already have something better and far cheaper that no country can take from them without a successful full-scale ground invasion. All they have to do is mine a 19-mile-wide stretch of the sea, lob some drones, missiles and armed speedboats in there, and blamo: worldwide shipping costs have fundamentally shifted for the rest of our lives, and the #president of the #UnitedStates is giving you full-scale sanctions relief up front and calling you daddy. The Strait of #Hormuz is such a powerful economic superweapon and Trump and his team of real estate fraudsters are such dismal negotiators that the only concrete thing the United States was able to get out of Iran in this #MOU is going back to February 27th when it was open."
