Ali Velshi: Videos of violent ICE interactions flood social media Many of the videos are difficult to watch, but it is also important to bear witness to what is happening to human beings on the streets of America.

Never Stop Writing: Sylvia Plath’s Prose | The Hudson Review

Although Sylvia Plath is best known for the cutting lyricism of Ariel (1965) and for her autobiographical novel, The Bell Jar (1963), her career goal as a writer was threefold: to write poetry, novels, and short stories.

It is my sincerest hope that by the end of this there are 1000 protesters in various animal/cartoon costumes.

Will A.I. Trap You in the β€œPermanent Underclass”? An online joke reflects a sincere fear about how A.I. automation will upend the labor market and create a new norm of inequality.

Recently, the idea of a β€œpermanent underclass” has been embraced online, in part as a jokeβ€”and in part out of a sincere fear about how A.I. automation will upend the labor market and create a new norm of inequality.

How Trump gets and processes information How Trump is making potentially lethal decisions

How did I miss this? Trump thinks Portland is on fire and is justified in sending in the troops because he watched a five-year-old clip on Fox? Are you kidding me? We are so in 25th Amendment territory. Biden never did anything close to this:

The issue before is now is very simple and clear. There is a large and growing movement of leftwing terrorism in this country. It is well organized and funded. And it is shielded by far-left Democrat judges, prosecutors and attorneys general. The only remedy is to use legitimate state power to dismantle terrorism and terror networks.

This is a declaration they will use federal resources to deploy violence against judges, prosecutors, and attorneys general. There's no other coherent interpretation of the phrasing, including "only remedy," "legitimate state power," and connecting those people with "terror networks."
