@abbythelibb_ For straight scholarship on the Nazi extermination program, Raul Hilberg's The Destruction of the European Jews. I just started Deborah Lipstadt's Denying the Holocaust, on her efforts to combat "revisionism" in the academy and elsewhere. Short and v interesting so far
Today, Mosaic begins a recurring column by Devorah Goldman on medicine, bioethics, technology, and what it means to be created in the image of God. What does the creation of Eve tell us about the human condition that medicine has forgotten?

“By my count, the syllabus assigns roughly 45 pages of canonical Western philosophical writing across the entire quarter, against more than 500 pages of contemporary work organized around identity, oppression and indigenous ways of knowing ... There is no Aristotle, no Augustine, no Aquinas, no Montaigne, no Locke, no Mill, no Newman, no Steiner, no Bloom — none of the writers who built the case for liberal education that the course claims to defend. A course advertised as a defense of liberal education has been built without the thinkers who defined it.” @imarinovic demolishes the disastrous new @Stanford freshman program.
The longer I live, the clearer it becomes to me that people will have a religion, or something that plays the role in their lives played by religion in the lives of people of faith. The only question is what religion (or pseudo-religion) they will have, and whether it will be a good one or a bad one--one that upholds human dignity and teaches genuine virtue, or one that does not.
The country's first detransitioner clinic will be opening!!!

AS PART OF A $10 MILLION DOLLAR FRAUD SETTLEMENT!!!!!
The Glory goes to G-d!
And the team of people who were willing to burn down their lives to do the right thing when it was the hardest thing to do.
My dad built something truly special out of nothing.
He walked away from a lucrative Big Law job to launch something unheard of--fighting for everybody's religious liberty? Even the religions you disagree with?
It was a huge risk--he would always half-joke that in Becket's first office, you couldn't open the door all the way because it would hit his desk. They had many tough months getting off the ground--and he always paid himself last, if at all. But he never lost faith because he knew in his heart he was doing it in service to God.
Today, Becket has dozens of Supreme Court precedents--Little Sisters of the Poor, Hobby Lobby, etc--to its name and is largely responsible for the words "under God" remaining in the Pledge of Allegiance.
My dad kept running Becket while battling Parkinson's for years--and then had the humility to step away when the time was right (a rare trait in Washington!)
A truly special organization founded by a truly special man.
