Yall wanna hear something extremely embarrassing? Before Trump’s election, a bunch of academics who lumbered rightward after being criticized by the left (Pinker, Dawkins, Krauss) wrote essays for a book that is coming out in July about the threats to academia from the left.

YALL, THE TITLE!!

Looking forward to seeing what this actually means

We’re launching a new DNC War Room.

We are going to compete in every information space and put Trump and the Republicans on the defense every day.

At this very moment, Trump is actively wrecking our country.

He can’t go unchallenged.

Thank you 🥰

Enjoyed all of these (especially, surprisingly, Sunrise on the Reaping), with the exception of The Alice Network which was kind of a slog to get through.

My goal at the beginning of the year had been to read 12 books over the year. Changed that to 20.

1/ The Red Forest, near the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, is one of the most radiation-contaminated zones on Earth. After the April 26, 1986 explosion, the pine trees absorbed intense radiation, turning a rusty-red color — hence the name.

While I appreciate the energy behind some of the various movements fighting against the current fascist in office, I am interested in whether there is a more cohesive group whose sole purpose is to protect/defend the Constitution?

It seems to me that progressive Democrats already are the center. The problem is that the Overton Window has moved so far right now that party perception is bonkers. Polls say that vast majorities of Americans want commonsense gun safety, paths to citizenship, abortion rights, education, etc.

The problem with Democratic Party is that no one takes them seriously because they don’t take themselves seriously.

You can’t simultaneously argue Trump is a fascist intent on destroying democracy but your major response is to wear a pink suit to a speech, and expect to be taken seriously.

SUCH an iconic photo.

And due to the cane, straight out of the 19th century, the age of canes.

As far as I know, a member of Congress hasn't been removed by the Sergeant-at-arms before last night.

Though Sergeants-at-arms occasionally dragged members of Congress IN TO Congress when needed.

This morning Donald Trump has further entrenched himself into autocratic power. He has declared that he'll stop all funding to EDU institutions if they don't stop "illegal" protests and threatened to expel or imprison the 'agitators'.

We must not remain silent.

The state of the union is that the President is spitting in the face of the law.

He is letting an unelected billionaire fire cancer researchers and wreck federal agencies like the Social Security Administration at will.

I won't be attending tomorrow's Joint Address.

Thank you, Sharon McMahon, for continually speaking truth in this strange time of people trying to force false history as reality.

In a country that had not, as the prophet Jeremiah put it, “forgotten how to blush,” this abomination would shock every conscience. We are long past that point. God have mercy.

“But here’s the thing. This world doesn’t need more hate. Not online. Not behind keyboards. Not in our hearts. If you don’t agree with something, you don’t have to agree—that’s okay. What isn’t okay is meeting it with cruelty and malice.”

Lately, my heart has felt heavy. As much as I focus on light, the weight of others' anger and negativity can be hard to bear. Supporting Ukraine—my heritage, my roots—was never about division. It ...

1/ Any theology that demands the sufferer first crawl, scrape, and bow to a truth the other person holds, before being helped or loved, is malevolent. Christ did not bid man to crawl to offer obeisance at His feet.
