It's going to be really hard to avoid saying, "I told you so" as often as it will need to be said from now on. Historian Joanne B. Freeman Trump Resistance Movement

As a Berkeley grad, I just shrugged and said, "sounds like Stanford".

When I tell this at the ballpark, I occasionally get complaints about the language, but when I point out that it's indisputably true, they always nod in agreement. #BeatLA

Or very right. Hard to say.

I always thought it would be fun to buy the island and build an offramp from the bridge to it. But no return ramp. Kind of the roach motel of tourist traps.

900lb crates full of onions in a field

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

The rental ones never fit right, anyway.

I grew up on El Cerrito, and practically lived in the library for much of my youth. If I still lived there, I would pay almost anything to keep it open and thriving. So many good memories! Good luck!

Photo of Resignation letter from Dr. Martin Peterson

First Plato—now Dr. Peterson—out the door at Texas A&M!

Who’s next?

Here is Dr. Peterson’s letter of resignation, which he just shared with the faculty.

I was just talking to a friend today about Dolly Parton's Imagination Library - new books every month, totally for free, for kids ages 1-5.

My son was part of the program - this is a copy of the letter that came with his last book, right after his 5th birthday.

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

(archive document) Memorandum of Disapproval I have today vetoed H.R. 11897, a bill which would name the United States Courthouse and Federal Office Building in Grand Rapids, Michigan, the "President Gerald R. Ford Federal Office Building." Although I appreciate the honor expressed by the Congress in enacting this legislation, I intend to continue the policy of past Administrations that the executive branch not endorse the naming of Federal office buildings. Generally, the executive branch has deferred to the desires of the Congress on such matters. Although several Federal office buildings have been named for incumbent members of the Congress, I know of none that have been named for a President while still in office. I consider it improper for me as an incumbent President to approve legislation which places my name on a Federal building. This is a precedent I do not wish to establish. In general, I feel this way: office buildings which house the functions of Government should not be used as monuments to Federal officials, but rather as workshops for the people's business. In particular, I would hope our Presidents will be remembered for their labors in building better Government rather than for their efforts in constructing public works projects to themselves.

Gerald Ford vetoed naming a post office after himself.

In his @status.news newsletter @oliverdarcy.bsky.social reports the White House got Getty to delete this photo (from a Thanksgiving White House PHOTO-OP STUNT) because Karoline Leavitt was offended

It ran only in a Swiss newspaper. It would be a shame if you retweeted and Streisanded it

In what world is it okay for the Defense Secretary to make multi-million dollar investments in defense companies:
a) Ever;
b) In the run-up to starting a war in the Middle East

In a functional democracy, he would offer his resignation tonight.

It's already far too much money for an out of control agency like ICE, which is despised by most of America.

The presidency is a giant ATM machine for Trump and his family.

Hegseth Strikes Two Black and Two Female Officers From Promotion List

“[Pete Hegseth’s Chief of Staff] Buria told [Army Secretary] Driscoll that President Trump would not want to stand next to a Black female officer at military events.”

Not shocked, not surprised. The racism is a feature, not a bug, with these lowlifes.

King Lear wants you to tell him how much you love him.

I don't use the word 'hero' often but Afroman is the greatest hero in American history.

(1) The accused declared, ordered, or otherwise indicated that there shall be no survivors or surrender accepted; (2) The accused thereby intended to threaten an adversary or to conduct hostilities such that there would be no survivors or surrender accepted; (3) It was foreseeable that circumstances would be such that a practicable and reasonable ability to accept surrender would exist; (4) The accused was in a position of effective command or control over the subordinate forces to which the declaration or order was directed; and (5) The conduct took place in the context of and was associated with hostilities.

Apropos of SecDef's remarks this morning:

Denial of quarter—even the declaration of no quarter—is a war crime.

And recognized as such by the US Government.

Declaring “no quarter” is a war crime. Pete committed a war crime this morning. bsky.app/profile/bcfi...

Trump only got into Wharton after his family pulled strings and got him an interview with an official who did a "special favor" to the family. A Wharton prof later said he was "the dumbest goddamn student" he ever had.

So, yes, his admission does say a lot about how smart he is.

Using AI and filing hallucinated cites & quotes: bad

Lying about how it happened ("I accidentally filed a draft brief instead of the final version"): worse

Having a judge say "the evidence contradicts your statement": kill me now

Holy shit - this would be very, very bad:
"The databases, called “Numident” and the “Master Death File,” include records for more than 500 million living and dead Americans, including Social Security numbers, places and dates of birth, citizenship, race and ethnicity, and parents’ names."

I thought "potential objectives" was rather telling here. As in, we need boots on the ground in case we figure out there's something they could do there.
