For survivors of the Bosnian genocide, the war has never ended Thirty years later,

“Genocide prevention is not about trials after the fact. It’s about political leadership at the moment of crisis. And in Bosnia, the world failed that test.”​

Trump’s poll numbers are cratering. Why won’t he change course? Six months into his second term, the president refuses to change his policies and behavior

Lots of good insight here from Chauncey DeVega @salonnewsroom.bsky.social

GOP leaders draw the line at Trump's Library of Congress takeover Quiet resistance from top Republicans has kept Trump officials out — for now.

Was 'Little House on the Prairie' ‘Woke’? The Answer Explains American Politics. The cameras have yet to roll. But already, a planned remake finds itself at the center of controversy.

Wonderful piece. I'm an Aussie who grew up with LHOP, but this is so on the money. Thank You @jasonkylehoward.bsky.social

One of the greats. Period. One of my favorite voices. Her fingers on those keys created so much beauty. From Black Mountain, NC to Arlington, VA. From the upper room at Mr Henry’s on Penn Ave SE to the great stages. Godspeed, Roberta Flack.

An excellent piece by @jasonkylehoward.bsky.social you really should read.

Little House in the Culture Wars The cameras have yet to roll. But already, a planned remake finds itself at the center of controversy.

An English original. A survivor. An absolute badass to the end in a world of pretenders. I loved her ragged voice and how it commanded, demanded, your attention. So long, #MarianneFaithfull.

I think this is a very well written piece highlighting Trumps tone and mindset.

On Donald Trump and "Liberation Day" How his second inaugural address was even darker than his first

You’re likely overwhelmed with inauguration news. But I hope you’ll take a few minutes to read my inaugural Substack. #Trump #InaugurationDay

I'll also be writing a Washington Post story about how Trump's anti-trans executive orders could affect Medicaid coverage for HRT, other gender transition medical care. If you'd like to talk for the story, my email is casey.parks@washpost.com (Or, message me here!)

Historian of fascism here. It was a Nazi salute and a very belligerent one too.

Tracking the verbs here:

- annihilating
- ashamed
- change
- restore
- reclaim
- weaponized

Quintessential Trump from the very start. No mention of gratitude for the service of the outgoing president. Instead, barbs and attacks that read more like a campaign speech. #Inauguration

I can’t imagine Trump will be happy about the lack of stagecraft during the swearing-in. Melania misses her cue, CJ Roberts starts the oath early, Trump’s left hand was not on the Bible.

So lovely to wake up to this— 👇🏻

Mayonnaise, please!

LGBTQ+ Americans stockpile meds and make plans to move after Trump’s win Some LGBTQ+ people are anxiously preparing for what they fear will be a rollback of their rights.

As Donald Trump’s inauguration nears, some LGBTQ+ people are anxiously preparing for what they fear will be a rollback of their rights.

Some in same-sex relationships are making plans to marry or adopt children. Others are moving to states that they believe will offer them more protection.

If you’re in Nashville don’t miss the new Rosanne Cash exhibition at the Country Music Hall of Fame. It captures her artistry, wisdom, and family legacy with great beauty. “If time is a mirror, then I see that my restlessness and melancholy were gifts,” she said at the opening. A great lesson.

Stopping the Press After spending years painting the media as the “enemy of the people,” Donald Trump is ready to intensify his battle against the journalists who cover him, David Remnick writes.

The actions Donald Trump might take against the press “are the arsenal of a would-be autocrat who seeks to intimidate his critics, protect himself from scrutiny, and go on wearing away at the liberal democratic order,” David Remnick writes.

What up Blue Sky. Is this the nerds' table? Good. Let's talk politics, culture, the brilliance of Jane Austen and the undeniable fact that Jonathan Bailey's legs are the Eighth Wonder of the World.
