this duck piece is somewhere in the collection of the Wolfsonian Museum, but I can’t explain it as of this writing. Something to do with FDR?

1930s illustration of a duck in a mortarboard and spectacles. It has something to do with US politics, but I can’t say exactly what. Maybe a reference to FDR?

they did signs last time and Bluesky said it was stupid.

An ICE lawyer says the agency has stopped training cadets in the legal use of deadly force, among other terrible decisions. He resigned so he could speak up.

Good. And I hope someone did some careful documentation of the images locals added to the empty spaces (see photo in article) while we all waited for the TrumpAdmin to fix what they broke.

where’s Pogo?

Thank you! I was really wondering where this came from.

Black activists fought for slavery exhibits 24 years ago. The fight returned under Trump. In the latest turn of events, a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration wrongly removed historic panels about people George Washington enslaved at the President’s House in Philadelphia.

🧵2/2 - Those nine people were only included in the panels because the Avenging The Ancestors Coalition did a hell of a lot of work to make it happen.

It should not be this hard to look at the truth of our history. We can celebrate the good without ignoring the bad.

US judge orders Trump administration to restore Philadelphia slavery exhibit In ruling, judge cited quote from Orwell’s novel 1984 describing process by which authoritarians rewrite history

🧵1/2 - TrumpAdmin is ordered to restore the info panels they took down from the historic President's Residence. The judge, a G.W. Bush appointee(!), cited Orwell's "1984" and referenced nine people who were brought to the site as slaves (two eventually escaped).

Here’s Bernie grilling Zeldin on climate change during the latter’s EPA confirmation hearing. Welp, what’s been confirmed now is that Zeldin was boldly lying.

This was a nice change from all the bad news I saw today.

A conundrum for the ages: would he have been worse.

screenshot of text by Elizabeth Lopatto pointing out that Jeffrey Epstein and the circle of moneyed men who surrounded him were part of a “coordinated pushback” against #MeToo.

this article makes an interesting connection between the anti-MeToo movement and the Epstein files.

Thank you for the info. Horrific.

oh, God, another school shooting? nooooo

“he gave me docking privileges on his private island and gifted me a lunch for my party of 14+ people, but I barely know the guy.”

Investigating a music show is a great use of Congressional time/taxpayer dollars. /s

Filming people in a private space without their consent is a serious crime, and the fact that Telegram “never responds” to people who ask to have nonconsensual explicit material taken down should disturb everyone. And what’s with all the people who enjoy watching others be victimized?

I’m guessing it also refers to just being able to get undressed without being spied on and broadcast to thousands.

“About 2.5 million of those deaths are projected to be children under the age of 5”—in favor of funding far-right “think tanks.” Horrific.

I’ve had AI search assistants completely misread and misreport things from the web. You have to actually check what they linked and see if it says what is claimed. I’m not saying it happened in this case, but it happened to me earlier today.
