Reminds me a bit of what "Republicans" have been trying to do to MLK Jr.,, for years: turning him into a white conservative who agrees with them completely.

Exactly the same thing, rewriting history. I appreciate Don Lemon saying,"Old people be knowing. "

Succinct and perfect, I'm taking that from Don Lemon, LOL!

Best read of my day as finishing up DB’s “Letters and Papers….”. Yes, pretty sure he’d be appalled with both of them.

Thank you for writing this about Bonhoeffer and his descendants. In fact the descendants warned the citizens of the United States about voting for Trump. It encouraged me to stand up to MAGA preachers.

Don't forget that Fuentes set off a firestorm after the Roe decision by Alito by tweeting about women, "[Now it's] your body, MY choice. Forever." He was "doxxed" i.e. his address exposed and a lot of people started showing up at his door. One nasty Nazi.

I almost sent you a link to this article as I know your interest and work regarding Bonhoeffer. Then of course, halfway through the first paragraph I actually realized it was yours :-) This is more history distorted for divisive purposes. When history becomes whatever one group decides it is, our society itself rests on sinking sand as they say. Keep up the great work.

Like when the Yankees and Dodgers were in the World Series last year, sometimes there are battles where you wish both could lose.
