2026 white supremacy is 1776 white supremacy.

Coleman Crow, Supinator, has been in the lab, I see.

Trump: “the roaring economy is roaring like never before.”

GDP growth last year was 2.2%, lower than every year under Biden, 0.4 below the 1980–2025 average, and 33rd highest out of the last 46 years.

Out of concerns for university exposure. Sorry, Larry, as a former president you understand, your risk score is just too concerning at this point.

“Even the new communist mayor of New York City. I think he's a nice guy.”

Spring training is fun, but I think I need to visit the Dominican complex.

You can take Mr. Stearns out of Milwaukee but you can never take Milwaukee out of Mr. Stearns.

Crisis management 101, especially when that guy is the sous chef (me in a former life).

I scared the dog with my tone and volume in that at bat and it’s only February 22nd.

Reporters choosing not to press them on these obvious contradictions ought to come under more scrutiny at some point.

If you haven't been following the robo dog fiasco in India the last couple days you are missing out

I was just talking about this the other day. The difference between India and the USA is population. When you have a 330 million population that sort of niche is filled by a particular state more than others. In a country of over 1.6 billion every street has its own Florida Man.

Pope Leo Will Spend July 4 Visiting Migrant Crossing Island Pope Leo has spoken out against the treatment of migrants in the United States several times over the last year.

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

And he’s a White Sox fan to boot. We Brewers fans find his aversion of the Cubs rather appealing.

Gorsuch understands Indian Law better than John Marshall did. Worth the read: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

RBG’s opinion in Sherrill v. Oneida Nation demonstrates her utter contempt of Native American sovereignty and her ignorance of nearly 200 years of legal precedent in U.S. Indian law. digitalcommons.law.ou.edu/cgi/viewcont...

Capture the White House again and drag them along for the ride? Surely, FDR faced similar headwinds?

The omnipotence of the market place.

Ha!

The Constitutional Bind An eye-opening account of how Americans came to revere the Constitution and what this reverence has meant domestically and around the world. Some Americans today worry that the Federal Constitution is...

It was always only a matter of time. The idolization of the US Constitution with its allowances for minority rule have led us to this place. Aziz Rana’s criticisms are worth a read: press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/bo...

At my (suburban, white, far from college stuff) yoga studio everyone's talking about ICE & the owner sometimes mentions Gaza in emails. Recently a participant (an older Jewish woman not a young activist) was wearing watermelon pin. It's not just online, not just youth, not just academics & activists

Ha!

Vice headline reads: "Zara, Nike, and Abercrombie’s Indian Factories Weren’t Fully Paying Workers" The story was reporting on something put out by the Workers Rights Consortium.

Story at Mind The Gap reads: CASE STUDY: Zara fights sanctions for forced labour in Brazilian supply chain Spanish fast fashion giant Zara, an Inditex brand, has been found to source clothes from Brazilian workshops with modern slavery conditions but fought against sanctions in court – showing how corporations seek to avoid liability by hiding behind complex supply chains.
