It’s a new day for NYC. Maybe Brooklyn needs a new seal.

When they go low, we kick ‘em when they’re down.

With a pro-MAGA SCOTUS, the only long term solution is an interstate compact that would require nonpartisan/bipartisan commissions to draw all district lines.
The compact would take effect only when all states with multiple representatives ratified it.

“Buy the ticket, take the ride.” - Hunter S. Thompson
MAGA members of Congress are in no position to complain about gerrymandering when their boss unleashed the tidal wave.
As far as people criticizing Gavin Newsom‘s pushback, you don’t take a water pistol to a gunfight.

Another California county is losing its only hospital as feds reclassify it Glenn Medical Center's ‘heartbreaking’ closure will put 150 people out of work and send rural patients to neighboring counties for care.

Trump vs judges

#Trump
#autocracy
As the Continental Congress protested 249 years ago, “He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.
He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people”

Fox “News”: “Trump orders feds to reopen Alcatraz…”
He’s still living in the 1950s. In his ossified “mind”, nothing has changed. Does he really want a SuperMax? Or, maybe, a faux gold condo development?

Good News! ICEBarbie’s purse has been found! (Including the $3000 in cash.) It’s at the Haskell Free Library,Derby Line VT. Unfortunately for Kristi Noem, it was found a few inches north of the international border.

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social
Embarrassing error and omission in “Worse Than Signalgate”:
1) Wilson was inaugurated in March, not January. This throws off the article’s timeline.
2) George S. Viereck was a paid German propagandist. His magazine’s previous name was “The Fatherland”.

Wall St. refers to “value” of stocks.
It should only be “price”.
They, intrinsically, have zero value. The only price is what a willing seller and a willing (or gullible) buyer agree upon.

Rowena Kennedy-Epstein

See: research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/persons/r...

She’s at r.kennedy-epstein@bristol.ac.uk
Also on BlueSky and can be contacted here.

That’s the poem I had engraved on her gravestone.

@glynnismacnicol.bsky.social Fascinating article on Canada/US relations in NYT today. Don’t forget a CBC program in 1970 “Coundown Canada” and Fletcher Kneble’s “Night of Camp David” dealt with a US takeover as a genuine threat.

Rowena Kennedy-Epstein (U of Bristol, England) is actively writing and her project appears to be headed for the finish line. Work on Rukeyser is active internationally and there are current and future reprints, books about her as well as collections of unpublished and/or forgotten prose of hers.
