โ€œICEโ€ better catch a clue before they attack folks and then lie to a judge about being attacked. We are watching and recording them, as is our right. Weโ€™re not just relying on surveillance video.

one of the complaints of the millionaire homeowners who sued the city is that charlottesville โ€” a ten square mile town whose new zoning plan was designed to increase density โ€” was that there was no plan to expand the roads and thus do the opposite of density

I worked at Planned Parenthood.

They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges.
ย 
Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.

From Robber Barons to Bezos: Is History Repeating Itself? | Robert Reich
Weโ€™re now in the Second Gilded Age. As in the first, Americaโ€™s wealth is in the hands of a few, conspicuous consumption exists alongside homelessness and hunger, monopolies crush competition, money corrupts politics, and working people are abused and exploited. The good news? Just like back then, we can fix it. From Robber Barons to Bezos: Is History Repeating Itself? | Robert Reich

The question today is the same as it was during the first Gilded Age: Will we fight for an economy and a democracy that works for all rather than a wealthy few?

I read this book in 2007. It described how republican presidents from Reagan to Bush Sr. To Bush Jr., were consolidating power in the office in ways never intended.

It was a warning that some future President could easily become a dictator or king.

That Rubicon has been crossed as we type.

Cargo ship captain arrested in North Sea collision is Russian national, owner says | CNN The captain of the Solong cargo ship who was arrested after crashing into an oil tanker off the English coast is a Russian national, the vesselโ€™s owner said Wednesday, as maritime experts search for a...

Can someone with a military background explain why this isnโ€™t an act of war? The victim is a โ€œUS-flaggedโ€ vessel โ€œat anchor in the North Sea and carrying huge amounts of jet fuel for the US military.โ€ The deliberate attackโ€™s aggressor is a Russian captain.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.

The list goes on and on.

Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933.

I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

As we approach the Oscars, where the first transgender performer may win tonight, I am 100% with Pedro Pascal, shown with his sister Lux, who came out as transgender in 2021.

Trans rights are human rights.
