"And then it came, the realization that—at least in my mind—79 years old was so young for a famous rich white woman in America and that 78 years old was practically a miracle for someone like Miss Major."
“The question of who gets to live as long as they should isn’t moral but systemic.

We often say that death is the great unifier as it’s the one thing that we all have in common. But sometimes, I look around and wonder if even the after-life is segregated.”

Today federal agents were in Hyde Park and near Kenwood Academy again. Ald. Robinson posted this an hour ago.
This morning, my office was alerted of recent
ICE activity in the 4th Ward that has directly impacted Kenwood High School families. While these events have shaken our community, we will not tolerate this unacceptable and terrorizing policing of our neighbors. I am in direct communication with Kenwood's leadership and staff to offer our support and assistance to students, parents and school faculty, and my office is in contact with the Mayor's Office and my colleagues at the state and federal level to ensure we are doing all we can to protect 4th Ward residents. I am committed to doing everything in my power to defend our rights and keep our community safe. If you see ICE activity or are in need of family support, please call the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (ICIRR) at 855-435-7693 or visit icirrorg.

The bait and switch is going to cost the liberals their credibility unto the end of time tbh.
The Carney government's revealed preference is for deeper US integration. Literally everything Carney has done is consistent with this position.
If any other politician at any other time was doing what Carney is doing, this wouldn't even be up for debate.

D.C. has issued marriage licenses to more than 64 couples over the last two days, taking over a responsibility usually handled by D.C. Superior Court's Marriage Bureau – which has been closed because of the federal government shutdown. Story for @51st.news: 51st.news/dc-marriage-...
The shutdown closed the office that issues D.C. marriage licenses
The congressional spending fight shuttered the office that issues marriage licenses in the city.

"It was unclear why Admiral Holsey is leaving now, less than a year into his tenure...

But one of the U.S. officials...said that Admiral Holsey had raised concerns about the mission and the attacks on the alleged drug boats." www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...
NYT: "Head of the U.S. Military’s Southern Command Is Stepping Down, Officials Say
Adm. Alvin Holsey is leaving less than a year into his tenure, and as the Pentagon escalates attacks against boats in the Caribbean Sea."
if i travel back in time, i better not see windows 11
oh yeah. it's fantasy so none of it should matter
maybe that's less anachronistic
no one seems bothered by the solo, which requires a distortion pedal

Quick reminder to all who use crowdfunding that Kickstarter explicitly forbids claiming you're going to donate a portion of funds collected to charity. It's enough to get your whole project taken down.

Just sayin'.

NEW: Seth Moulton becomes the first candidate in a Democratic primary for Senate to officially announce that he will return and henceforth reject donations from AIPAC
Seth for
Massachusetts
I am returning AIPAC donations and refusing to accept any donations or support from them. The FEC filing I made yesterday reflects that we are returning donations. Below is my statement explaining why:
I'm cautiously optimistic that the recent breakthrough in Gaza will move us closer to ending the horrific violence in the region. A political resolution that allows Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace is exactly the kind of framework I've been calling for from the beginning.
I support Israel's right to exist, but l've also never been afraid to disagree openly with AIPAC when I believe they're wrong.
In recent years, AIPAC has aligned itself too closely with Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. I'm a friend of Israel, but not of its current government, and AlPAC's mission today is to back that government. I don't support that direction. That's why l've decided to return the donations I've received and will not be accepting their support.

Penn's refusal is especially significant in light of Wharton Board member Marc Rowan's work on the compact and his advocating for it in the New York Times
Just received from a colleague: looks like Penn is going to join the universities refusing the extortionary Trump "compact". I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win
screenshot of an email saying:

"To the Penn Community:

 

For 285 years, Penn has been anchored and guided by continuous self-improvement, using education as a ladder for opportunity, and advancing discoveries that serve our community, our nation, and the world.

 

Since receiving the Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education on October 1, I have sought input from faculty, alumni, trustees, students, staff and others who care deeply about Penn. The goal was to ensure that our response reflected our values and the perspectives of our broad community.

 

Earlier today, I informed the U.S. Department of Education that Penn respectfully declines to sign the proposed Compact. As requested, we also provided focused feedback highlighting areas of existing alignment as well as substantive concerns.

 

At Penn, we are committed to merit-based achievement and accountability. The long-standing partnership between American higher education and the federal government has greatly benefited society and our nation. Shared goals and investment in talent and ideas will turn possibility into progress.

 

I am grateful to the Penn community for your thoughtful input and for what you bring to our University and our missions every day.

 

Sincerely,

 

J. Larry Jameson, MD, PhD
President
University of Pennsylvania"
