In the Fight Against Fascism, Libraries Should Be Defended — Not Defunded
Libraries represent the kind of infrastructure progressive leaders must fortify at all costs, especially in this moment.

Hegseth Asked Top Admiral to Resign After Months of Discord - The Wall Street Journal- “You’re either on the team or you’re not,” Hegseth told Holsey, according to notes from a participant. “When you get an order, you move out fast and don’t ask questions.” Seems relevant to the Bradley inquiry.

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

It's sadly ironic that one of the central themes of A Charlie Brown Christmas is a critique of the over-commercialization of the holiday and now, after decades of it airing on free TV, you need to buy Apple TV+ to see it. All so the Charles Schulz estate can keep the most cash rolling in.

U.S. and Ukrainian officials meet in Miami before Moscow talks - Axios- “A senior U.S. official said the White House wants to close the gaps on those last two issues on Sunday, saying: ‘The Ukrainians know what we expect from them.’” Disgusting. The US in no way considers Ukraine an ally.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Close reading is fundamental to the humanities (at the very least)--aside from noticing and attentiveness, and providing the space for agency, for love, it is also a place or process of care. Lovely essay.

Again, from the article: "Russia is set to reject the new 19-point cease-fire deal drafted by the US and Ukraine but may use disinformation tactics to keep President Trump engaged in continued talks — suggesting the war will last at least through Christmas, sources told The Post on Tuesday."
It says something about what’s going on in the US that the New York Post, of all media, has the best analysis of the latest peace deal shenanigans

Interesting piece from @michaeldweiss.bsky.social 👇
There is no "plan". US is the victim of a Russian psy op, with the aim of dividing EU and US.
The "plan" was made by the Russians, injected into the US administration through the pro-Russian, radicalized individuals Kushner, Vance and Witkoff.

Job growth in the first year of Donald Trump’s second term is on pace to be the worst since the Great Recession. So why is his team bragging?

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.
