In Buddhism we understand that every action comes with a consequence. Due to my decision to stand up for my Jewish friends I am losing a few people from my life. Today I parted company with Tony Pontius who has run my record label BGP for a number of years. I wanted to release 'We Will Dance Again' but he was unequivocal and said 'I want nothing to do with this song' and I responded 'ok, we are done'.
When someone is gutless it really does not hurt to say goodbye. My faith in humanity will not diminish and the truth will always win.
I will release it!

Without remote classes, Daniel Goldberg isn't sure he would still be in law school: his chronic disease & hospitalizations would've made it hard to go to class.
Students like him would like to have the option of remote learning even after the pandemic:

"There’s a difference between promoting peace and inciting hatred. And most of the words and ideas and memes that I’ve seen amplified on Twitter are aimed at inciting hatred for Israel, rather than promoting peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians." -@RepRitchie#RealTime
You see the soldiers in this picture? They are National Guardsmen from Puerto Rico, citizens, coming to Washington, DC to defend a Commander in Chief they could not vote for, a democratic federal republic in which they are denied representation in Congress or a presidential vote.
