“There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” — Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor.

As I worked over the winter on my new book, there was one chapter that felt particularly heavy—the accounts of Jewish refugee scientists fleeing Hitler's Europe and how democracy succumbed to fascism. Much of this feels too familiar right now: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/fleeing-on...
Fleeing One Step Ahead of Fascism
The chilling warnings of Europe in the 1930s: "Reality is stronger than all our wishes"
www.doomsdayscenario.co
If you read one thing today, read Mr. Graff’s chapter with writings from German scientists and scholars in the 1930s. History matters and the parallels to today should not be ignored.
"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers.” Shakespeare
More than 2,900 attorneys quit the Justice Department or were fired during the first 10 months of this year -- about triple the number who depart in a typical year. personnel records obtained by Reuters show.

There’s a common denominator in all these mass shootings: It’s the guns. We need gun control in this damn country.
As always, we don’t yet know the identity of the shooter or the motivation for the massacre but we *do* know it involved one of the millions of guns that are drowning this country.

Hundreds of kids in S Carolina are being quarantined right now because of a measles outbreak.
I don’t have patience for niceties when it comes to this crap, so if you’re an anti-vaxxer, keep your damn kids at home and don’t travel for the holidays.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Here’s an idea: try getting the vaccine.
The measles outbreak in South Carolina is “accelerating” with no end in sight following Thanksgiving and other large gatherings, state health officials say.
