At the Civil Rights Museum today, I heard this musical rebuke to Richard Nixon written by Stevie Wonder.
I was struck by how much the words also apply to Trump.

It’s one thing to believe in the abstract that authoritarian, fascist, or personalist regimes displace expertise for loyalty, it’s entirely a different thing to watch it happen all over the place in your country.
love how being 'Stephen Miller's wife' is like, a position of influence worthy of a TV spot

I’m dumbstruck by news of the death of Tom Stoppard—maybe because he hoarded all the words and knew how to use them better than just about anyone. I hope we savor his spectacular wit and erudition and argue about the politics of his plays forever. He was monumental, and also a kind and curious man.

Every professor has rightwing students who get good grades on papers. Many of us enjoy these students and have good rapport with them. The key thing is whether they’re curious and put in the work. Nobody expects students to agree with their own views. The ones that get angry don’t do the work.

So grateful to everyone in NYC who mobilized to stop the ICE raid of Canal St. The violence being committed against immigrants is heart-wrenching, but the shows of solidarity we have seen around the country give me so much hope.

I love comedy. It is of great benefit to the world. Louis C.K. I didn’t mind so much because he talked about the human condition—absurdity, suffering—which is what all the great comics do in my view. But one could feel the vibe from the start—that it came from an untrustworthy place. It happens.
