Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

When you drift through some unheralded point in your 40s, you start accumulating actuarial risks.
The odds of illness, heart attack, or the chances losing of a parent go up.
But there is another risk- particularly acute for men.
There is a risk you will lose your capacity for joy.

After @mandophotos.bsky.social photographed federal agents pointing rifles at 26th/Lawndale yesterday, I inquired with DHS about what threat had prompted them to pull weapons on a busy commercial strip (pictured). This is the response I got from a representative of the United States government.
