one response to this (correct) observation is to say “well, the cops will attack you no matter how you dress and behave.” that’s right. images of cops and ICE beating grandmas and kids in inflatable frog costumes is a win for the opposition.

one of the reasons they're so mad at "no kings" is that they thought they were going to get a different kind of protest. they *want* the black bloc to be out there fighting with the cops. those are the images they've been trying to generate from "go." instead--

MAGA Rage at “No Kings” Boils Over—and It Quickly Backfires on Trump

As Trump allies smear the coming protests, a good writer on MAGA skewers the absurdity of these attacks on large swaths of Americans—and explains why our best recourse will be to turn out in force.

Overlooked, a great section of the @nytimes.com , dedicating a piece to one of Latin America's greatest musicians: Violeta Parra, who went great lengths to record the songs of ordinary Chileans and tell their stories.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

The cover of a Spanish textbook. The colors are purple, red, teal, black, and brown. Two people are talking to each other on the cover. The book is titled "En español!"

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

No Kings Means No Paychecks.

Literally saying if you don't pay fealty, you don't get YOUR OWN TAX MONEY BACK. You really couldn't write a bigger advertisement for this thing.

I swear if the elected Dems fold before this.

Gonna start to use this clip to reinforce the correct meaning of "to beg the question," as in "if you don't want to sound like this Fox News tool, use it correctly."

Really it became the only metro with a major hippie/hipster scene from the 1990s to 2000s. Every other Midwest/Southern college town that pursued "weird" was trying to be Portland.

Also history and theory. The journal of social history comes to mind. What is meant by generalist history?

History and Theory

History and Theory is an international journal devoted to the theory and philosophy of history.

what is illuminating, in my opinion, is how many foods have been created by jews that have been claimed by non-jews as their regional specialty, like bagels, fish & chips, and old bay seasoning, for which we are stripped of any credit, while accused of stealing others' dishes.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?

Sally Jenkins @sallyjenx.bsky.social · 2d

This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
