Anyone check the blizzard induced cloud cover?

So many metaphorical resonances, so little time

That recording of Elgar is one of the most beautiful things to come out of the 20th century

The autocracy will engage in a lot of censorship and crude propaganda in the coming months. Can we find a way to counter it creatively and get the whole truth of our country's origins out there?

The Constitution of the Roberts Court is not color-blind. It is a Constitution that permits discrimination on the basis of race, but forbids alleviating discrimination on the basis of race. And over the next year, the Court will face more cases that could further erode both the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, pushing America back toward what some on the right believe is the true, Antebellum Constitution.

I wrote about the conservative quest to restore the "true" Constitution, the Antebellum Constitution, shorn of the egalitarian nonsense in the Reconstruction Amendments, a document that replaces equality with a society of dominators and the dominated. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

The Greatest Threat to Democracy Read more here.

Republicans’ voter suppression tactics rarely make headlines, but it remains the greatest threat to democracy. This year, we’ve seen one of these tactics on full display through map-rigging efforts.

But @marcelias.bsky.social warns this is only the tip of the iceberg.

Having said that, it’s important to learn to read.

They are different ways of interacting with text. I find that I respond differently to an audiobook than to a conventional book. But both experiences are engaging and worthwhile

Urge #Hochul to Sign the Bills She's Been Holding Out On!
3 critical bills have passed to protect our communities but remain on Hochul’s Desk for months!!! No More Waiting!

Governor Hochul just signed S1804/A128A into law, making #NY the first state in the nation to eliminate cost-sharing for inhalers. We want to thank the Governor and the bill sponsors, Senator Rivera and Assemblymember González-Rojas, for their tremendous work in passing this bill.

(between images of the Spotify logo that have been crossed out) DON’T STREAM FASCISM Spotify is treating ICE recruitment like just another ad. But when you turn family separation into a marketing pitch, you're not a platform — you're spreading propaganda. • Cancel your Spotify Premium subscription until Spotify removes all ICE ads • Demand Spotify immediately terminate all ICE and DHS advertising contracts. • Urge artists and podcasters to speak out.

Spotify is running ads recruiting more ICE agents to infringe our rights and terrorize our communities, so we’re calling on users to stop paying for or using the app until Spotify stops streaming fascism: indivisible.org/cancel-spoti... #CancelSpotify

Bar Chart showing the percent of SNAP recipients working in a typical month of SNAP benefits receipt or in a given year. Breaks it down by non-disabled, non-elderly adults, households with a non-disabled, non-elderly adult, and households with children and a non-disabled, non-elderly adult.

This is another good time to remind folks that most SNAP recipients work, many of them full-time, yet are not paid a living wage.

And maybe Thurgood Marshall. Let’s throw James Garfield in there while we’re at it. But, yes, most def Lincoln.

Just finished listening to “The Lincoln Highway” by Amor Towles. I had listened/read “Ordinary Grace” by William Kent Krueger only a month ago. Really struck by the similarities between the books. Wondering about this impulse towards a 20 th century Huck Finn/Odyssey narrative.
