The usual.

For better & worse, I spent 11 years at Ivy League universities (mostly better…I was very fortunate). I met dozens, if not 100s, of students who bluntly told me they wanted to be Congressmen, Senators, or President. Yet 99% didn’t choose the lying fascist route. Other choices were readily available.

Oh, is that what those confessions I was hearing were supposed to be for? Arrests???

You guys...I wish I had a much fatter bank account AND could pause time so I could read your books and others so I could feel better equipped keeping up with all this.... And I'm semi-retired in a volunteer gig. I can't imagine having paid-job-level responsibilities in my third act, in crazytown.

Doesn't it, though.

Science is good. We should fund it.

White House Secures Foreign Steel for Ballroom Project

NEW: Trump accepted $37m worth of donated steel for his WH ballroom project from the Luxembourg-based company ArcelorMittal.

Days later, the WH made adjustments to Trump's tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal.

Oh, that's a good name for a recurring satirical skit.

What about "all the above?"

I can't wrap my head around the fact that Hegseth, purported Christian, does this to, essentially, the Army's top Protestant minister, during Easter Week just to make way for a different, white chaplain. Or am I leaning too much into the religious angle? Cuz my head is scrambled now.

You say lazy, I say efficient and, thanks for the idea.😉

I do think it’s very funny to convert to Catholicism as an ordinary if mildly famous person at the time only to have the Pope eventually become one of your biggest haters

Beautiful. 🩷

Yep. A convicted felon using a mail-in ballot to a state that is stingy about restoring voting rights to felons. Wonder how that worked? Who can find out for us?

Indeed.

146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

Must be the case that after 16 years of immersion in the topic, you're the right teacher/author appearing with the right text at the right time. We're seeing several ppl come out with necessary works for these times, so there's hope in that. 🙂

Now THAT’S what I call a special guest!
Bruce Springsteen joins Amy Goodman on stage to perform Streets of Minneapolis and celebrate @democracynow.org 30th Anniversary.

Oh, boy. Does Bernie Sanders actually have time to follow this dude around and hector him to act like a grown-up every day?

On this date, the German Reichstag passed the Enabling [no, really] Act of 1933, making A.H. Germany's dictator.

Just noting.

Since 1994, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they receive in benefits every year.

Do not believe the lies you hear about immigrants.

They are good for society and the economy.

Amid the ongoing war in the Middle East, Americans overseas should immediately enroll in STEP to receive the latest updates from U.S. embassies.

Let's watch how we word these sentiments, please, though. We need the event to subside without ending us at the same time. 🫣

Agreed.

Or should I say:

And that's enough of that.

Reposting this for all the people who thought "woke" and "DEI" were only going to come for Black people.

Watch this cretin try to explain why a grant to examine Jewish women during the Holocaust was flagged.

Always no.

Is today Suffer Fools Gladly Day?

YES

NO ✅
