May she rest in power. May her family find peace, somehow. And may the murderous thugs who caused her death rot in jail.
The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.

Last night, at the corner where an ICE agent murdered Renee Good, thousands of Minnesotans gathered in the frigid dark to protest her killing. In the face of this administration’s lawless violence, solidarity is the answer.
They want to mold America to their cruelty. We refuse.

Trump has started bombing Venezuela? Well, I'd better immediately tune in to cable news and hear endless roundtable discussions from pundits and retired generals who didn't get one fucking thing right about the Iraq War.

A piece in the Atlantic properly denies the existence of free will, but also says that belief in determinism is bad for us as individuals and as a society. Although Dan Dennett also said that, I think they're wrong.

The Atlantic denies the existence of free will but says that determinism makes us behave badly
I can’t resist calling your attention to a 2016 article on free will, mainly because it appeared in The Atlantic—a magazine many here (including me) admire. And as I’m reading Matthew C…

If Amy Sherman-Palladino can produce 22 high-quality episodes of Gilmore Girls every year in the space of 6 years, there's no reason we should have to wait 2 to 3 years for the next 8 episode season of your streaming series.

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

New Gallup data shows a historic shift: only 49% of Americans now say religion is important in their daily lives, down from 66% in 2015.
Fewer Americans identify with religion, fewer attend church, and more embrace secular values every year.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:
His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies
As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

It's such an ordeal living through the Trump era. So it's nice that today we can bask in nostalgia for Bush/Cheney, an administration that in many ways was just as fucking bad.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.
He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
