Since I was young, I've been a political centrist. Still am.

Most of the hate directed at Jews, these days, comes from the Left. But in the past, it came mainly from the Right.

My point: opposing anti-Semitism isn't about ideology. It's about doing the right thing. Do that.

The health care *system* doesn’t care about any of us: patients, staff or clinicians.

If you wince at this stark truth, share a story when you felt cared for by a *person* working in health care.

I want to hear about folks who are swimming against the current tide of cruelty.
