Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. As an ambassador for @abbottglobal, Taylor is asking Huskers to roll up a sleeve, give blood and help Nebraska win $1 million for student health and well-being. See how you can make an impact: buff.ly/C20E6Mg
Taylor smiles for a photo for a photo as she sits in a chair at a donation site. She holds a sign that says I'm a Husker & fighting the blood shortage

Here is my piece in @Jerusalem_Post on Israel's decision to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Genocide recognition not enough: Israel must do more for Armenians | The Jerusalem Post jpost.com/opinion/article-90…

Israel recognizing Armenian Genocide doesn't go far enough – they must protect Armenians - opinion

States do not recognize genocides because they have suddenly discovered a moral conscience. They do so when it aligns with their political, strategic, diplomatic, or domestic interests.
