Mississippi Choctaw Dictionary Project Helps Preserve Language The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians’ Choctaw Dictionary Project is designed to help teach the language and encourage more daily use.

The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians received a grant for its Choctaw Dictionary project in 2020. However, as the department was nearing completion of the dictionary, the Trump administration terminated the award.

#QuietTime is going to be a useful hashtag. 💤

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

F that!

Often when there are lots of CGI (or maybe AI) backgrounds, which there are a ton in this production, they like to keep things darker so you can’t see the fuzzy edges

Just when I was beginning to miss her

The formula is and remains: “Let’s just write Fox News headlines because we know they don’t have the patience to read past that”

How about us long time, still suffering, just holding on subscribers start a movement to fire the headline writers

Good ole Marge. I was beginning to miss her

historical perspective. Yet according to the long-running University of Michigan survey. of consumer sentiment, shown as Chart 1 at the top of this post, Americans have a worse view of the economy now than: • in mid-2022, when inflation hit around 9 percent • in the immediate aftermath of the financial crisis, when unemployment was in double digits • in 1980, when the economy was in recession and had double-digit inflation.

Vibecessions, Part I Why does a good economy sometimes feel bad?

And in a slightly contrarian, or perhaps revelatory take, here’s Krugman today:

Charlie from it’s always sunny in Philadelphia pointing at a bulletin board with pictures of Trump and Epstein connected by a stream

Hey Pam Bondi. This is John Mitchell. Gird your loins because you actually work for the people and not the president and you will eventually find out what that means.

You know who isn’t in the Epstein files???

“Weaponizing the DOJ” takes on a whole new level when you order investigations in order to reopen it so it’s no longer closed and you can claim you can’t release information because it’s an “ongoing investigation”

For no particular reason….posting former U.S. Attorney General John Mitchell’s mugshot before he went to Federal prison for committing numerous crimes on behalf and or/at the direction of President Nixon including obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

But you Tom, are a friend to bags of cash anywhere you go

Nothing to see here

📍Senator Fetterman had a VFIB—the leading cause of cardiac arrest—he almost died if not for his implanted defibrillator, which can cost $34,000 to over $51,000. Days ago, he also just voted with GOP to gut health insurance tax credits for millions. Hope he has a change of heart.

At the same time the NY Times was hyping Hillary Clinton's emails, it had a reporter with emails from Jeffrey Epstein that were highly damaging to Trump.

The more NYT apologists try to minimize this the clearer it becomes that they don't understand why much of the public doesn't trust legacy media.

Nearly every week I get a positive reminder that my monthly donation ProPublica is worth every (now nonexistent) penny. You can get that feeling too!!

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

You probably saw videos of a nighttime raid in Chicago. Agents rappelling from a helicopter, bursting down doors, questioning brown-skinned immigrants.

We investigated -- and found little evidence to support the government’s claims about Tren de Aragua.

Trump was, at this moment, running for President (his vanity run).

He dropped out of the race a month later.

Unreal. Many of us have had elderly relatives be misled by Fox, but none of them have the power to deploy the military inside our own country.
