That’s not a restoration, sorry. That’s a plastic cloak

From the article, it sounds more like they tried to cut a deal, did not agree to the terms and are now being ground down by the tremendous pressure of government and billionaire legal harassment. I wouldn't dismiss that exactly as "folding"

The term "fascism" is so fuzzily applied and so widely denied that it has lost all meaning, even if I do also think it applies to this regime. Yes, it is better to be more specific about the authoritarianism and kleptocracy.

Congrats! Unfortunately, everybody decent should leave the Post as it is currently run. Best wishes for everything you do next

I don't trust either 1. Netanyahu's presentation of Israeli intelligence or 2. Tulsi Gabbard's delivery of US intelligence

That's bad, but the university should raise money for such important programs anyway. Don't just shut them down

Curious as to which podcasts are on the “bad” list.

Trump’s Immigration Policy Is a Failure Built on Lies A policy at war with the truth is doomed to fail.

The administration just hasn’t been able to find those thousands of criminal aliens they claimed were rampaging throughout the nation. Like so many other themes Trump campaigned on, the plague of immigrant crime was a fiction. ICYMI @monacharen.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-immi...

Living Colour releases their debut LP today in 1988 — with “Cult of Personality”, a song inspired by a chat during rehearsal about what makes a leader charismatic.

“Vernon played a riff,” said drummer Will Calhoun. “And next we knew we had a song. All while we were setting up for sound check.”

the trump administration, obviously concerned with racial equality, thinks its illegal discrimination to spend federal dollars protecting a predominantly black community from raw sewage

JUST NOW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s wife Jennifer Vasquez speaks at a May Day rally in DC: “It’s been 50 days. 50 days of pain and suffering. 50 days of uncertainty. As we finally saw the proof that Kilmar was alive, my children and I had to watch Trump and Bukele’s administration laugh at our pain”

For every 6 kits distributed 1 OD is prevented. The $56M in this grant trained >66K people and distributed >282,500 kits in 2024 alone

Trump 2.0: Armed fed'l agents burst in (apparently a no-knock warrant). Since they'd worked the case, they knew who they were looking for. Instead, they found a mom & her 3 girls. Nonetheless, they sent them out into the rain in underwear & then took all their $ as evidence. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Zero reason for any cop to hide their face for this sort of work.
