They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.

He was such an American treasure. Kind of painful to read The Power Elite in 2026. Things are so much worse than even Mills forecast.

A good month of reading, finally tackling Harry Braverman's Labor & Monopoly Capital, C. Wright Mill's The Power Elite, and Eros & Civilization by Herbert Marcuse. Plus Spring Break starts tomorrow!

Khanna: "Trump said the Iraq War was a disaster. He said Libya was a disaster. He ran bc a big part of the MAGA base did not want another war in the Middle East. They rejected Lindsey Graham, & yet here we have Lindsey Graham being the face of Republican foreign policy. I believe this is a betrayal"

"Dream by dream, teachers will keep showing up & standing up to equip the next generation of Americans."

Reading Why Fascists Fear Teachers by @rweingarten.bsky.social makes me proud to be a teacher and proud to be a member of @aft.org (via @bgsu-fa.bsky.social and @ohaaup.bsky.social).

I'm begging my fellow politicians, Illinoisans, and Americans to realize that right now, we aren't fighting over policy or political party.

We're fighting over whether we're going to be a country rooted in empathy and kindness β€” or one rooted in cruelty and rage.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

"Think of the colossal brutality, cruelty and mendacity which is now allowed to spread itself over the civilized world. Do you really believe that a handful of unprincipled placeturners and corrupters of men would have succeeded in letting loose all this latent evil, if the millions of their followers were not also guilty?"
β€”Sigmund Freud

Freud nailed it.

I used Claude Cowork to write referee reports. Here's what happened. Should AI become part of the peer review process?
