When is Congress going to investigate this? Jared Kushner got a $2 billion deal from the Saudi sovereign wealth fund only six months after he left the White House and spearheaded a $110 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia. This sure looks like a payoff. https://t.co/eT490yKSm1

Like most leaders of the eugenics movement, Comstock opposed abortion. What Kacsmaryk seems not to know is that like many of them, Comstock was a vocal supporter of “the bloody consequences of Social Darwinism” as Kacsmaryk says, that took the form of eugenic sterilization.
When he was asked in 1914 “Should criminals and defectives be sterilized?” he gave his full-throated endorsement, saying “by all means yes. I see no reason why the future generation should be cursed by the criminals of the present.”

Greatness isn't always hard to identify. Ben Ferencz carried it with him throughout his life. He'll be missed.
Ben Ferencz, the last surviving Nuremberg prosecutor, has died. He shared his story in The US and the Holocaust. Here's a clip from the film.

Ben Ferencz, last living Nuremberg prosecutor, dies at 103. Extraordinary man, extraordinary (beautifully written but haunting) obituary by @EmilyLangerWP @washingtonpost

At 27, he prosecuted Nazis for more than 1 million deaths in perhaps the largest murder case in history.
