Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/
Here’s a story that’s becoming all too common: federal immigration agents using racial and ethnic profiling as a rationale for stopping, questioning and detaining U.S. citizens who they suspect are undocumented.
About this Florida vaccine story:
When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough.
We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated.
“Oh, they’d have died.”
“Sesame Street” and its sequel, “The Electric Company,” were, “with lapses, the most intelligent and important programs in television,” Renata Adler wrote, in 1972.
I love #buynothing because of its spirit of radical possibility and disregard for the absurd: someone will offer half eaten sushi they didn’t like. Whether or not someone takes it is unimportant.
Ahh, there’s nothing more relaxing than settling down on the couch after the kids are tucked in, with your partner - who is an economist - who, as he wraps an arm around your shoulders, turns to you and says “there will be a major recession this year.”

Or a military coup?
Just a reminder: having a functional moral compass right now is going to make you feel bad all the time; don’t mistakenly hate yourself for that.
The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs.
They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services.
Why? Because they don't want it to work.
One thing Democratic senators have decided to vote for is a Republican plan to sabotage Washington, D.C. Not the synecdoche. The actual city of 700,000 people.

Somewhere, Jeff Bezos is angrily clicking “track shipment” to see what happened to his new editorial page.
The Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to fire more than 80,000 employees.
Let’s see, Donald Trump launched his crypto business right before taking office. Melania did the day before the inauguration. Junior launched a new one too. Oh, and of course Eric did.
Missouri has been running the pilot for Project 2025 for a couple of decades.
With a GOP Supermajority, over 30% of our schools are on a four-day week. We fund vouchers for private religious schools. Our starting teachers are 50th in the nation for pay and they pay for their own supplies.
