We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.

If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

When I go to our local library branch (shoutout to Schaberg branch in RWC) I yearn for all the picture books that we used to check out. I would take my youngest weekly to check out the max number of books we were allowed. We miss Chloe and the Lion, Brownie Groundhog and the February Fox, etc

Loving this interview! I’m halfway through Wandering Stars and Martyr! is next. Looking forward to the Kepler’s event soon! What other literary duos are there, past & present?

Absolutely of course but NYT has advertisers to pay for that and the subscribers. I’m just saying that on their own social media page, if they post a story that story should not have a paywall. They’re still getting a small percentage of subscribers from their social media

I’m sick of the NYT posting content that can’t be accessed without paying. Don’t post then.

Mike Johnson is the epitome of fraud, waste, and abuse

A blue sky first thing in the morning always gives me hope when it seems like we are on a downhill slide with no brakes

Finished this podcast yesterday! thoughtful, heartbreaking and heartwarming all at once. You know it’s a good podcast when you can come away from it with a new & compassionate perspective on a subject or group of people you had no idea existed. Longtime fan of Snap Judgement & Anna Sussman.

RFK Jr. gave the worst answer ever to the question, "what would you do with a time machine?"

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Canadian hockey star speaks out:

Thousands of U.S. Government Web Pages Have Been Taken Down Since Friday Federal agencies moved to satisfy Trump’s orders to remove topics like diversity initiatives and “gender ideology.”

More than 8,000 web pages across more than a dozen U.S. government websites have been taken down since Friday afternoon, a New York Times analysis found. The purges have removed information about vaccines, veterans’ care, hate crimes, scientific research and more.

Trump just launched a trade war against Canada over fentanyl. The US seized - wait for it - 43 pounds at the US-Canada border last year.

43 pounds.

Opinion | Migration Is Remaking Our World, and We Don’t Understand It at All (Gift Article) Migration is central to our politics and our world, but nobody really understands it.

We think the world will always be how it is now. But I think we need to imagine a world in which there are too few migrants, and many more nations competing to attract them. This is the first in a series I'll be publishing about global migration. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/31/o...

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

@mcuban.bsky.social cringeworthy as expected. 4 years of rambling garbage and hate, inexperience, blame, denial and lack of class and humanity ahead…

On harder days, be gentle with yourself. Be kind. Heavy emotions may require rest and comfort. You are a human being feeling all the things, and you were not meant to “power through” them. Take care. 💙

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Trump fired the heads of TSA, the Coast Guard and key aviation safety advisors. Trump needs to be held accountable for the DC airplane/helicopter crash.

Who here agrees?

100%

As a father of five kids, I totally agree with this evergreen post.
