Went to visit my friends at Animal Care Center of NYC up on 110th Street. They’re extremely overcrowded with adoptable dogs and cats. It’s dire. I met Bass, one of dozens of dogs who need a forever home or even a foster. And if you adopt, tell them I sent you and they will waive the adoption fee.

Gabrielle (aka my mom, not yet on Bluesky) and I co-wrote an article about our recent trip to Munich which hinged on my great-grandfather’s silver cup - confiscated in 1930s Germany - being returned to our family after 80+ yrs in a Munich museum.

In Germany, a Jewish family is reunited with a treasured family object — but also a sense of exile
For Gaby and Sonya Gropman, a trip to Munich to retrieve a kiddush cup represented a homecoming to a land where there is no longer a home

An article about the silver levy in Germany. My family was one of nearly 100 that had a silver object returned through restitution after 85 years - my great-grandfather’s 17th c. kiddush cup. (There’s a photo in the article, it’s truly a beauty.)

By 51-50, we now have a deeply compromised, unqualified, D-list Fox host running the US military at the command of a convicted felon who once hosted a reality show. Just as the Founders intended.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.
