Obviously it's a very bad moment but it is funny that Trump really seems to have thought he would win a Nobel Peace Prize by getting on the phone with a bunch of authoritarian sociopaths and saying "knock it off." Dumbest possible version of the Great Man Theory of History. The sports radio version.

A big part of most Progressives’ platform, of course, is dropping bombs on countries whose policies they don’t like. A core value, along with Napalm and rendition and water boarding. This is how you get more funding for libraries and school lunches.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.

The US is arming a literal genocide, has blocked international action against that genocide, and has now started a war with a sovereign nation by bombing some power plants its own intelligence reports are simply power plants - all on behalf of the country committing genocide.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

my hottest educational take is that schools should actively, non-punitively teach students how to admit when they don't know something, aren't sure or have made a mistake, with various teaching frameworks adapted to support this ideal, because people who can't admit fault are breaking the world

I'm old enough to remember occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, a never ending war of terror that killed over 4 million people. And using same rhetoric we hear now- manufacturing consent through racist demonization. And blatant lies. People's liberation never comes through imperialist terror, ever.

Pretty wild to see how badly the Panthers exposed the Oilers. Florida is just better in every category and the Oilers either get serious about solving roster problems, which they haven’t really done for years aside from patches, or there will be no Cup in the McDrai era.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

I just finished American Sirens, one of the best nonfiction books I've read in a long time, found and chosen entirely on the mention of Freedom House in the HBO show, The Pitt. Their story is extraordinary. I honestly can't believe this isn't a series or film in it's own right, it's so compelling!
