I love learning about free speech from Columbia the school most famous for having cops beat and arrest its own students for noticing a genocide.
Very excited about this new @knightcolumbia.org project, both because it gives us the chance to look beyond the current democratic crisis and because so many super people have already agreed to participate. knightcolumbia.org/content/new-...

I have yet to see where being more timid didn’t *lose* us an election
I think @nberlat.bsky.social and I have discussed how incredibly annoying this attitude is. For one, it suggests that Democrats should be afraid of openly calling out SCOTUS for its corruption and fascism enabling, as if that would cost us elections.

Following yesterday’s tragic shootings in Tumbler Ridge, B.C., I have asked that Canada’s flag atop the Peace Tower, and across all government buildings, be flown at half-mast for the next seven days as our nation mourns with the community.

It's time to hit redial on phone etiquette and bring back randomly calling friends. It's time to raw dial.
