Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

So, Youtube has paid Trump 24.5 million to settle. Oh…and as part of that settlement…Noel Casler’s podcast can no longer be watched on Youtube. They are buying up media at an accelerated rate of speed…to silence dissent. Notice, however…Trump never threatens to sue Noel. Noel has THE receipts.

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

Can't help wondering if millions of us are too lazy (or indifferent) to reeeally understand what comes with fascism?

Sunday thought: A national trauma We need to talk about it openly

“I don’t think we’re talking enough about the national trauma most of us are now enduring.”

“Some of you may assume there’s something wrong with you when you can’t sleep or awaken feeling anxious. You may feel alone in this.”

“You should be aware of how widespread, & reasonable, your reaction is.”

I just can’t…my heart weeps.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

That flows off the tongue nicely!! Now I’m repeating it too!

“Clontubbrid”, however…

It sounds like a medical term: “that patient came into the ER with a clontubbrid duodenum”.

Ok. Back to Warriors. And country real estate in the UK!

Reason #6886326 why I adore you.

(I’m watching the Warriors game at home and now I’m ogling real estate in Skinstown Ballyraggwr, Clontubbrid Ireland too!)

The "expert problem" speedrun:

Year 1: Study topic, become expert
Year 5: Realize how complex it is
Year 10: Develop sophisticated nuanced view
Year 15: Watch someone with 0 knowledge confidently explain everything wrong on Twitter
Year 16: Give up and become a beekeeper

CBS News staffers are ‘literally freaking out’ about Bari Weiss taking over newsroom EXCLUSIVE: ‘People are using words like depressing and doomsday – feels like some sort of doomsday,’ one source told The Independent about the mood inside CBS News right now.

“'The fact that we don't have money to pay journalists, but we have money to pay Bari Weiss between $100 and 200 million is indicative of what the Ellisons' true goal here is,' a network correspondent said. 'And it's not journalism.'"

my wife is a Cal fan and apparently this week they’re putting a “59” on their football helmets to honor the 59 Nobel laureates tied to Cal in order to flex on Duke

this is maybe my favorite dunk anyone has ever done on Duke

Beyond "innate versus learned"
Amazing thread 🧵

Can I tell you
a secret?
I still love
the park swing.

I crave
to sneak in
at nighttime
and jump on.

The sway,
the rhythm,
that feeling
like I'm flying.

It's sad
to seem like
I'm too old,
when inside
my child
still wants
to f

Opinion | Trump Has No Mandate to Destroy America What a narrow result in a closely divided nation actually means for the country and its political parties.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“This objective fact about the 2024 election — that it was a narrow result in a closely divided nation — does not seem to matter, all that much, to the nation’s politics,” our columnist Jamelle Bouie writes.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Don't be silent

He wants to dictate what the press can say.
What a university can teach.
Whom a company can employ.
And to whom the law shall apply.

He who wants all this is not a president,
But strives to be a dictator.
And all who succumb are not citizens,
But subjects.

This is a pivotal moment for us. The Klein–Coates exchange is less a petty spat and more about signaling how the intellectual left wants to argue, whom it wants to engage, and how it wants to draw moral boundaries.

And it needs to be resolved because this gets us nowhere. I say go Coates!

I'd endorse at least 9 of those as aligned with my own way of thinking about what "the brain is..."! Especially "...a control center" and "...a complex dynamic system". But there's truth to all of them!

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.
