From Robin Wall Kimmerer's The Serviceberry:
"In fact, the monster in Potawatomi culture is Windigo, who suffers from the illness of taking too much and sharing too little. It is a cannibal, whose hunger is never sated, eating through the world.” (81-82)

Trump doubles down on racist video, saying no staffer has been disciplined
US president, who blamed aide for post depicting Obamas as apes, maintains video is not a problem
Trump refuses to apologize for the racist video posted by his social media account.
He lies about it, as does JD Vance.
Both racism and lying are on brand.

How Trump Appears in the Epstein Files

Quite the contrast:
In one part of the Epstein files, DOJ published unredacted nude images of women and potentially minors.
In another part, officials redacted President Trump’s face from a news image that was shared in a text exchange.

Monterey Bay FC to launch women’s team for 2026 season
Monterey Bay FC will add a United Soccer League Women's team for the 2026 season.
Great to see that Monterey Bay FC will be adding a USL Women’s team in 2026! I am looking forward to welcoming the team to the Monterey Bay and having them represent the best of California’s 19th Congressional District.

The Trump Administration Arrested Don Lemon Like He Was a Fugitive Slave
Lemon's arrest is not only a clear violation of the First Amendment but also a blatant throwback to the Constitution's long-discarded Fugitive Slave Clause.
You don’t need to be a legal scholar to know the arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are violations of the First Amendment. Nonetheless, it’s always helpful to have a legal scholar around to explain the ugly details.

One of the main reasons why Trump and Republicans canceled taxpayer paid funding to PBS and NPR. They want more Americans to be ignorant about US history and civics.

It’s My Party and I’ll Leave When I Want To
Talking to the gerontocracy.
While we're waiting to watch (eep, I hope) a new generation sweep into political power -- in some cases, against the wishes of Democratic elders -- here's the piece I published yesterday on the party's gerontocracy:

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

“.. They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world’s most repressive regimes.”
