Not a real post

And it's not close

One of the more ideologically cynical franchises, from start to end, imo

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

Devastating: Hampshire College is permanently closing following the Fall 2026 Semester. A beautiful institution & community that has done so much for so many. My child is a current Hampshire senior. Hampshire's approach to education is so unique, humane, & exciting—I've seen it first hand. Tragic

I thought I was being crazy when I wondered when Trump would start claiming to cure scrofula. We’re not far off!

I too had this thought

OFFICIAL from @noaa.gov today: March blew the cover off the record books here in the U.S.

❗️Average temperature: 9.4° ABOVE the 20th century normal
❗️First time ANY month exceeded 9°F above average
❗️This was the ALL-TIME WARMEST March in the 132-year record

A quick 🧵

Happy Surrender and Freedom Day! On April 9, 1865, Robert E. Lee and the Army of Northern Virginia surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant and the Army of the Potomac. home.nps.gov/apco/planyou...

I think this is true, and part of the Everything is Gender theory. We are governed by that section of the populace that believes that Father having violent tantrums until everyone else cowers, even as his life falls apart around him, was an aspirational display of power and mastery.

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

That man is a scourge to mankind

Come on then, and remove him.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children.

Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future.

If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it.

So must you.

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 point isn’t “he’s about to use nukes.” I don’t think that’s likely at this stage. But the man is threatening to obliterate Iran in an attempt to force the capitulation of its government. If that doesn’t happen with conventional strikes, he may opt for bigger terror attacks instead of invasion.

Disgraceful!

The US/Israel just bombed Sharif University in Tehran. This is not only Iran's best university, but also a top 100 global university in the field of Civil Engineering.

It has also been a center of student opposition to the Iranian gov

And Trump just bombed it...

The president is openly threatening extraordinary war crimes, in a war he started without congressional approval — and without either justification or strategy.

All Americans should be demanding:

Impeach him. Remove him. He is lawless and dangerous man.

If anyone is looking for a political theorist (not me) for next year, please let me know. I know someone great who is looking for a position.

Today it is crystal clear that the despair of the fanatics in the White House would drown the whole world to quench their love of death.

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

On my way to WPSA!

Given the other ways that Trump has reenacted the abuses of Charles I, I've been thinking of it as an echo of Chuck's entrance into the House of Commons

Things worked out great for Charles I when he entered the House of Commons

We need a bizarro liberty fund

For sure, but that appears to me as a difference in degree but not in kind

The thread calls curious readers to figure out who it is you’re not directly naming
