15 June 1894 | Polish Jew, Salomon Wasserman, was born in Krakow. In #Auschwitz from 17 June 1942 No. 39609 He perished in the camp on 21 July 1942.

Great wisdom in this thread. Those of us who have the luxury of being guided by our (good) instincts and passions would be wise to follow them, and not get hung up on perfect paths.

Justice Sotomayor: "If the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military...to assassinate him, is that within his official acts for which he can get immunity?" Trump’s Lawyer: "That could well be an official act." – Trump v. US, oral arguments

Funny how no one said how horrendous the violence I wrote about was. Such is life.

Dope is the understatement Dwayne Betts Your essay nytimes.com/2020/10/20/mag… is beyond complex & important. It’s required reading in most of my GWU Sociology classes, from freshmen to grad students. It completely challenges simplistic binaries re victimization, responsibility, etc

Not holding my breath, but the situation in Gaza is worse than ever, and Kamala Harris should berate Netanyahu in public for all the right reasons. Enough.

Harris condemns protesters who expressed support for Hamas and burned American flags during Netanyahu's speech to Congress yesterday: "I support the right to peacefully protest, but let’s be clear: Antisemitism, hate and violence of any kind have no place in our nation"

Recommend reading Dwayne Betts on Kamala Harris and his own nuanced and complex takes on crime, violence, injustice, prosecution, race, prison, policing, etc. See nytimes.com/2020/10/20/mag… A brilliant essay.

Valuable perspectives. I hope Pretoria pays attention. Good insight about the different meanings of 60% as a mark/grade & the great job Amb. Ebrahim Rasool did. SA foreign policy has been unprincipled and inept.

A clear still image, captured from a video released today, shows Israeli soldiers raping a Palestinian prisoner, hiding their faces, and taking cover behind shields to avoid being seen on cameras. I am at a loss for words to express the utter depravity and evil of this monstrous

We are horrified by numerous reports of Palestinians being tortured in Israeli prisons. We unequivocally condemn torture in all circumstances. We call on fellow Jewish organizations to join us in condemning torture, which goes against our most basic democratic & Jewish values. 🧵

Congratulations! I’d love to read more long before 2027. I read you and others in The Marshall Project regularly.

My essay this morning in The Guardian's fabulous "long read" on impressions from a recent visit to Israel theguardian.com/world/article/…

Amen. I am consistently incredulous when groups like Hamas are described as left wing.
