This is a v sad kid. What even is this life they’re leading? Whatever it is, he’s miserable. It’s written all over his face.

To my non tech normies, PSA: when you share a link, everything after the ? is tracking. Those “query parameters” tell companies exactly how you arrived, what app you clicked, which ad or email sent you, sometimes a unique identifier tied to you. You can delete everything after the question mark.

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

the war is not "aimless." It is corrupt, unjust and immoral.

A diverse group of people in a church holds protest signs demanding social justice. A large cross is visible in the background, conveying a solemn yet determined atmosphere.

The North Carolina organizers of Moral Mondays built a broad coalition (labor + faith + civil rights + enviro + LGBTQ) using sustained action to beat back the extreme-right—and they offer real lessons for resisting Trump’s anti-democratic crackdown now.

How America Chose Not to Hold the Powerful to Account Our national project of elite impunity

After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Robust, er, discussion of the joy that is Heated Rivalry before my yoga class yesterday morning. Really set us on the right track. 😌🙏🏼

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Reading American history will break your heart a thousand times but it will also fill you with such admiration and awe for all the people who were excluded from the protection of America’s founding principles and fought to promote, protect and expand them anyways

Building the camps The warehouseification of detention and initial thoughts on stopping it.

When I got the contract to write a history of concentration camps in 2014, I hoped to keep the US from ending up here. That didn't work out! But now it's critical to understand how much is already in process and the enormity of what's coming. The sooner we act to stop it, the more people we'll save.

Why does tragedy exist? Because you are full of rage. Why are you full of rage? Because you are full of grief.

— Anne Carson, “Tragedy: A Curious Art Form”

Perfect.

So important and we can’t hear it enough. I do sincerely wish more journalists and editors had a firmer grasp on political vs politicized, especially as we are increasingly operating in a cynical and chaotic (and reductive and venal, depending) information environment.

Me: So... how big is The Hague? How many people can it fit?

Neighborhood kids chalked the phrase “Let It Snow Not ICE” in large letters on the road. Lit by a headlamp on the evening dog walk, reflections in the asphalt look like dots of snow around the message.

So expressive! I love it.
