The silver lining to the surrender by 8 Dems is that the House GOP must return to vote on it. Johnson must swear in Grijalva, and the discharge petition on the Epstein files must force a full floor vote. Stay tuned.

Where to even start

Judith Butler on being named to a list of UC Berkeley faculty & students provided to the Department of Education to be investigated for anti-semitism, w/ zero transparency about what they're being accused of or by whom. Pure McCarthyism & totally indefensible. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

This is clown car stuff. “A.i.” as it exists is NOT on track to become “smarter than humans.” It’s just fancy autocorect, and it sucks for nearly everything except cheating and scamming.

I know professors personally who have had their lives destroyed by being doxxed by the Professor Watchlist organized by Turning Point USA, for saying the "wrong thing" in class one time. I will not celebrate violence but I also will not pretend this is "practicing politics the right way."

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.

The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

“Black women do not have the brain processing power to be taken seriously. You have to go steal a white person’s slot”.

-Charlie Kirk

Which work? Calling for gay people to be stoned to death? Blaming airplane crashes on black pilots? Anti-vax bullshit? Election denialism? Pushing Great Replacement Theory?

Kirk’s murder is awful and ominous for this country. But no, we don’t need to honor him or “continue his work.”

Sound and Vision: Yuan Goang-Ming, Isaac Julian, Ruth Asawa exhibit reviews Toplining, Lessons of the Hour, 2019, Isaac Julian This year three of the major art museums in San Francisco had toplining shows of contemporary artists of color. While this might seem unremarkable in the 21st century it has in fact been a long time coming, especially here in the Bay. Despite the diverse demographics of the city, SF museums have a bit of a history of not exhibiting contemporary BIPOC artists.

Last night, a minyan of T'ruah rabbis wearing tallitot and holding sacks of flour and rice blocked 2nd Avenue in New York City, in front of the Israeli consulate. We held signs that said "Food --> Gaza" and posters with images of starving Gazan children. 🧵

Jews and NYPD

In NYC, 40+ Jews arrested calling to LET GAZA LIVE

This is what Torah looks like.

Underground Zero (2002) A collection of shorts made by various directors in response to 9/11.

Not many omnibus films in the National Film Registry, beyond Disney’s Fantasia. This year I’m nominating my favorite 21st Century example of the form, which would be the first Registry entry for segment directors Caveh Zahedi, Jay Rosenblatt, @vsoe.bsky.social, Paul Harrill, Ira Sachs & many others.

Marine Combat Veterans & US Citizens confront ICE bounty hunters as they leave work, after a long day of kidnapping people.

Please Shout Fire. This Theater Is Burning The United States is being destroyed from within, and mainstream journalism isn't making that clear. When I was a kid, there was a popular phrase--"what if they had a war and no one came?" What if we ...

It's when you assemble the whole picture that you have to raise the question if the intention is to destroy this country and whether this country is in fact being destroyed.

Is it time for your right-wing family to stop snubbing the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights?

I spend a lot of time contemplating what's happening politically and trying to interpret/make sense of it. But I also take time off for pleasure. And then come back to the work. We're all in the fog of civil war, and it behooves us to go to whatever gives us back the clearer, bigger vision.

But the eggs.

Dear Press: it's not a "clash." "Protestors CLASH with ICE agents blah blah blah"

One side (cops, ICE, CPB) is heavily armored and armed, and starts violence at every opportunity. The other side (protestors) is hardly ever armed, and shows up with signs. It's not a "clash."

And they sprayed the damn fields while community members could only run and then watch through tears. Like something out of Vietnam. All so they could break us. All so they could steal the very people who work the hardest to keep our county going.

This is positively medieval when rulers go after the food chain. Those protesters are literally trying to defend our farm workers that feed us.
