George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, has begun baselessly claiming that birthright citizenship is a massive welfare scam.

Miller has previously endorsed a theory called “remigration” that refers to the forcible removal of non–ethnically European immigrants.

"Stupid and dangerous" is a profound understatement.

The problem with Hanlon's Razor ("never ascribe to malice...") is that it lets malice get away with disguising itself as stupidity.

Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Great piece by Scott Woods in @matternews.bsky.social on the importance of libraries.

Matter News @matternews.bsky.social · Apr 8

Looking back on all the things I became because of libraries, it stands to reason that some people might see them as a threat. I would hope that anyone who does is seen for what they are. Anyone who would diminish a library diminishes democracy, builds a wall around freedom.
