DVF, care to reconsider? Image by Getty Images

By Phoebe Maltz Bovy December 8, 2016

-Rachel Lubitz has a list of fashion designer who are OK with, ambivalent about, or against dressing Melania Trump. The Jewish designer (and Holocaust survivor’s daughter) Diane von Furstenberg, who at one point sold a “Melania” dress, is among the OK-with-it. Huh.

-Michelle Goldberg defends Keith Ellison from charges of anti-Semitism.

-Irin Carmon takes a closer look at anti-abortion legislation in Ohio.

-Cathryn J. Prince reports on a panel discussion featuring pioneering women rabbis.

-Alanna Evans interviews author Summer Brennan, who (temporarily) dodged Twitter trolls by (temporarily) swapping out her own face for her brother’s as her Twitter avatar.
