@JewishWonk Data never matters in this conflict. People just care about emotional appeals. It's frustrating, but at least the facts are on our side.

@lesbienaumasc we are there too. sorry about ballet

@yudapearl May his memory be for a blessing. I knew Danny a bit, back in D.C., and I will always remember him.

Today, as we solemnly commemorate 22 years since the tragic loss of my son, Danny, I am sharing the first essay that I wrote after his funeral: “Hope from the Horror of My Son’s Murder,” The Sunday Times (London), August 18, 2002. ucla.in/2Y8MwGC. Today, over two decades later, it is evident to all that our initial hopes were, in hindsight, overly optimistic. Nevertheless, the transformative effect of Danny's story on countless individuals offers some solace amidst my disappointment.
