This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY.
And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon.
And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...
This week’s main story is about the Alliance Defending Freedom, the landmark Supreme Court cases they’ve been behind, and how obsessed they are with the word “winsome.” It’s inexplicable. They could just say “appealing” but no. It’s winsome this, winsome that. Absolutely baffling stuff. You’ll see.

We must keep working to defund billionaires and support local businesses. I’ve given way too much money to Amazon for ebooks.
Recently I’ve started using bookshop.org, that partners with local bookstore, and now has a good ebook app for your phone.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.
Know your rights. Pass these around…
Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.
I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

Image of the audiobook version of Attack from Within, by Barbara McQuade. 5 stars.
Highly recommend this outstanding exploration by @barbmcquade.bsky.social of how our democracy is being dismantled from the inside. I only wish that the people who need to know these things would be willing to learn them. (I also wish I could divest from Amazon, but one miracle at a time.)
