Tom Oppenheim reflects on his grandmother Stella Adler's role in Yiddish theater as inseparable from her activism—a view Stella instilled in her student Marlon Brando. Her influence led Brando to his Broadway debut role in Ben Hecht's A Flag is Born, a political play meant to raise money for European Jews after World War II.
Dr. Rafael Medoff on "A Flag Is Born"

I talked to @grok about Ukraine and Russia having peace talks.

Russia is ready for talks now

Ukraine may never be ready for talks because its 3 preconditions are all unattainable

1 Territorial Restoration
2 Security Guarantees
3 Military Strength

Russia is indeed open to talks where things can be negotiated right now

Ukraine isn’t opposed to negotiations __ but __ it demands certain things be in place first Image
More weapons and equipment give Ukraine a fighting chance, but a shrinking force undermines their effectiveness over time. Russia’s numerical edge could grind Ukraine down unless casualties or economic collapse force Moscow to relent firstImage

This ruling is absolutely insane!

How on Earth are we supposed to stop fraud and waste of taxpayer money without looking at how money is spent?

That’s literally impossible!
