This sign, with Biblical roots reflects a sentiment to care for those less fortunate. Even when we might be afraid, we must feel compelled to be kind to immigrants and refugees. We must also look to those living in poverty without health care and those with disabilities. We must fight for those less fortunate.
I am glad to see some of those who identify themselves as Christian are speaking out against Trump. It's pretty incredible that someone who wants to take away healthcare from 22+ millions of Americans to reward the top 400 wealthiest families could be considered Christian.
I grew up with both Methodism and Catholicism and nowhere did Jesus ever say in the Bible, "Screw the poor, let the rich take over the world!" Nope...just wasn't there. Here's a recent article on the religious left speaking out:

In more recent news, Trump and co. have scammed people, including those living in poverty to give charitable donations which ended up just benefiting the rich yet again.
Trump, in his continually callous and damaging behavior towards people with illnesses and disabilities shifted funds for children with Cancer into his own profit:

Even more recently, his lawyer Jay Sekulow scammed people into giving charitable donations just to make himself and his family richer.

I don't know how anyone can defend such actions, personally. I don't necessarily consider myself a Christian but I try to live a life of kindness towards others. What I do know is that these actions are appalling.

Nobody likes being conned. But that is exactly what’s happened. Donald Trump has laid the biggest con on all of us. Some knew what we were getting ourselves into. In fact, almost 3 million more people voted for his opponent in the 2016 election. Yet 42% of voters cast their ballots for the president. The head scratching from the other 58% has been constant ever since. We know people were sick of the status quo, sick of “politics as usual” and they appreciated what they saw as his straight talk. Many were enamored with his status as a successful businessman, hoping that would translate into a well-managed economy. We know Hillary Clinton had an image problem. And James Comey’s October letter bringing her emails back into question was a deciding factor.
We know all that. But there were clues sitting right under the surface that Trump was not as he advertised. We just couldn’t get to the facts or were stymied by his sycophants in the Republican Party. We tried for years to see his tax returns. He refused. What was he hiding?
Donald Trump was and is not a successful businessman. His businesses have filed for bankruptcy six times since 1991; he’s made poor investments, refused to pay contractors, and made money off his presidency. He’s leveraged his empire to the hilt. He says he owes $400 million but also says that’s a pittance next to his net worth. I doubt the accuracy of both his debt and his assets. Forbes reports he has $900 million in loans coming due in the next four years. And it stands to reason we should be concerned how that pressure to pay back those loans will translate into attempts to influence his political decisions in a second term. We read the transcript of his attempted extortion of the Ukrainian president to open investigations into Joe Biden. It was the basis for his impeachment. Yet it didn’t make any difference to the Republican Party. These enablers played a significant role in where we are now.
But what happens when Trump’s supporters realize his true nature? One of his most egregious acts was Trump University. It wasn’t a university at all, but a series of hotel room seminars. He bilked over 7500 people for these seminars costing between $1500 to $35,000. One of his “students,” Tarla Makaeff, called Trump U a scam and filed a class action suit to recoup some of the thousands of dollars she and others spent (Trump’s only appearance at these meetings was as a cardboard cutout). Trump countered by showing the positive reviews of these seminars by the same people who are now disgruntled. In their opinion, the Court of Appeals in the case of Makaeff v. Trump University stated, “As the recent Ponzi-scheme scandals involving one-time financial luminaries like Bernard Madoff and Allen Stanford demonstrate, victims of con artists often sing the praises of their victimizers until the moment they realize they have been fleeced.”
As MSNBC’s Ari Melber said, “How does this relate to the election right now? It suggests that even die-hard Trump fans…can change their minds. It’s also a reminder of how Trump is different than other traditional politicians: because he engenders stronger emotional reactions and feelings. And that can make his fans more ardent when they like him and more scorching when they break from him.” According to Melber, Vice President Biden is leading by 43 points among people who are switching their vote in six key states: from Trump in 2016 to Biden in 2020. Trump promised to bring back coal and steel jobs. That never happened. He started a trade war with China, only to hurt American farmers. The president kept promising a better health care program than Obamacare. After four years, we have yet to see any plan. And he has asked the Supreme Court to nullify the program, potentially leaving 20 million Americans without health insurance.
When The New York Times reported in September 2020 that the president paid only $750 in federal taxes for 2016 and 2017 and paid no taxes at all in 10 of the previous 15 years, many of his supporters finally realized they had been conned. It took over 30,000 lies and exaggerations during his term, a pandemic ignored and mismanaged, and his continued efforts to minimize the virus, even after he contracted it, before the point started to tip.
Still, many are willing to excuse his toxic temperament: his penchant to expect unquestioned loyalty to him over the American Constitution, his crass exploitation of women and the physically challenged, and his racist and anti-Semitic statements. They continue to idolize him. Many believe the coronavirus is a hoax and many like his market-driven economy. For these people, self-interest trumps Trump’s con.
After the last presidential debate, to any undecided voters I would say this: the American people are suffering. We are suffering from COVID-19, from the loss of our loved-ones and friends, and from the economic fallout of the pandemic. But just as important, we are suffering from the divisiveness in this country. The debate was a study in contrasts. Donald Trump has refused to take this pandemic seriously, even though he knows how serious it is. He has made the disease a political issue. While the president attacked, Joe Biden made his pitch. He wants to unite Americans, not red-state or blue-state Americans, but all Americans so we can better fight this disease and get the economy on track again. The president thinks the coronavirus will magically disappear.
Joe Biden is not infallible. But neither is he toxic. And that is a critical point if we want to beat this disease as quickly as possible. When Trump speaks, don’t believe all of anything. We’re being conned.

Invisible Cities / Le città invisibili
.
"It is not the voice that commands the story: it is the ear,” writes Italo Calvino so beautifully in his novel 'Invisible Cities'. He describes distant places, so remote we may never reach them. We all have these cities deep within us, beating as one with our own heart.
.
When I first met Laila, a Palestinian chef living in Paris, she told me about her grandmother in Hebron (al-Khalīl), about her parents, about pigeons roasted in sumac, and how her family had to flee one day, suddenly, leaving their home behind. forever. There were tears in her eyes, as she remembered Hebron of her early childhood, and Jerusalem covered in snow.
.
We have met so many times since, laughing and dreaming of the future, but if you could only hear her sing so beautifully all those songs of Umm Kulthum, with the musician from Gaza beside her plucking the strings of the Oud, you would then hear the sound of longing, for all that has been lost and shall never return.
.
In this entanglement, there is only one possible path, which leads straight into the jumble of relationships, between the cities - as living spaces, and human beings - who dream up these places and tie into them all their passion and anxiety, that are with us always. It is a journey of regret and forgiveness, and a desire to live in dialogue where each of us offers the other this ethical claim for the right to exist, to equality and love.
.
On the Hummus Route is a futuristic journey, and if we had one more chapter added to this book, it would have definitely been about Hebron, al-Khalīl of Laila’s grandmother, and about the Hebronite cuisine, with pigeons in sumac, and this long line of beautiful, powerful women who sing and dream of one day realizing their right, which so begs to be, to return, to that one place. To that invisible city.

The Ravens are back at Château Cramirat
.
Black ravens always perch around ancient castles and other mystical places. In Games of Thrones, these birds were omens and messengers. Now, the ravens are back at Château Cramirat.
With the world getting crazier by the day, we’re reminded of this 1920s dark satire and one of the world’s first anti-war novels. It comically captures the futility of armed conflict and the folly of military discipline, while also poking fun at the establishment and ridiculing religion through the book’s hero, Josef Švejk, an endearing simpleton who gets entangled in absurd (mis)adventures.
+
From our Château Cramirat collection, we are excited to share three different editions of the timeless classic, The Good Soldier Švejk and His Fortunes in the World War, by Jaroslav Hašek, illustrated by Josef Lada.
