I've said it here before but it remains true: I no longer need to wonder what the hell happened in Germany in the '30s.

I've also noted here before that like every American jew I was brought up with the belief that what happened in Germany can happen here, although somehow I didn't grasp that it could be in my lifetime.

Loved your tribute to Sanders, Tim. You are so right that the notion of leadership has been distorted beyond recognition by Trump and his admirers.

In Minnesota, when I saw a headline that Governor Walz was taking responsibility for the poor vetting of someone named to a key position., I immediately felt nostalgia - and sadness - for the days when taking responsibility was widely considered a sign of leadership instead of weakness. Walz is a true leader who will likely face a tough reelection. Trump is the absolute worst leader imaginable, so frustrating that millions adore him.
