1/ A piece I wrote about 1/6/21 was just published: "Just like the Nurenburg trials after the Holocaust, we must create a plan that reveals the ugliness in broad daylight - this has to be the place where we start. People who supported the lies must be held accountable.
2/ "...And we must learn from this. Yes, in order to say “never again” in our nation’s capital, we have to first tell the whole unvarnished truth about what led to it." "Remember and Do Not Forget" - amazon.com/Remember-Do-No…
My essay is one of many pulled together in days by the amazing @rabbicreditor Some of the most important rabbinic voices today contributed to this important collection. #January6th

In regards to GOP congresspeople feeling afraid for their lives: perhaps you didn't have your grown sons call you the night of the 2016 election, asking if we (as Jews) will be safe here now. Maybe you didn't hear your husband tell the family to get their passports in order /1
2/ just in case we had to flee. Maybe you thought that he couldn't be that bad -- but it was clear to anyone paying attention that he was dangerous. SURELY Jews, Muslims, Latinx, African Americans - we could have told you how terrified we were -
3/ We didn't even know that families would be separated, or that we'd have a pandemic that would be worse bc he couldn't govern - but we KNEW in our bones - from age-old cellular trauma that he was capable of horror

“I’ve think we lost Ken for a second” @msnbc (someone will find the clip bc I can’t stop laughing)
This is why. My husband said to me - “he (Ken) sounds like you!”
We need Ken back. We need to know what he was reading. I can’t go on with my day until we know. @craigmelvin

3/ Last night trump was offered an opportunity to express compassion for the children he ripped from parents arms to sleep alone on concrete. He could not offer a single shred of care

Wait did ratcliffe just say that Iran’s attack on the voting process is an attempt to hurt trump? The one that was threatening voters using the proud boys lists? #FBI
“The U.S. government has concluded that Iran is behind a series of threatening emails arriving this week in the inboxes of Democratic voters, according to two U.S. officials.” This does not HURT TRUMP. it targets DEMS! #FBI
