I’m fascinated by scientific breakthroughs that were universally hailed in the moment, like pasteurization, that are now vilified by some people. Is this a uniquely American thing? Anybody written a book about why/how this happens? Like the psychology behind it. I’d love to learn more.

Disturbing thought: How long (assuming they aren’t already) before rapists just start putting on masks, grabbing random women off the street & throwing them into a van? Apparently they just have to claim to be ICE and no one will bat an eye.

The last on-duty homicide of a detention and deportation officer was 1949. The last time there was even a non-COVID death on duty was 2016, when an officer had a heart attack during a foot pursuit. Before that, a training accident in 2003, then a fall down an elevator shaft at a jail in 1975.

Zoe's videos are always remarkable, but I think this one is the most insightful of them all. She makes such excellent points and it seems so sensible that it shocks and surprises me that no journalist who has reported this story has even captured a sliver of her argument.

V good letter in The Guardian on Labour’s flailing hopelessness in the face of Reform. Come on, Labour. The country is crying out for better. We’re sick of this ugly rightwing agenda. It brings nothing but failure. It’s disloyal to your voters and to the country. You’ve got power and time. Use them.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

If #Carney in #Canada could have prayed for a perfect last minute #Trump intervention to give his Liberal Party a few more percentage votes, this would be it. Trump here, Mr 51st State, aligning himself firmly with Canada's Conservatives, and killing them off for good.

Mark Carney is asked how the lessons of Brexit apply to Trump's tariff policy. "When you break off or substantially rupture trade relations with major trading partners... you end up with slower growth, higher inflation, higher interest rates, volatility, a lower currency, a weaker economy." ~AA

Donald Trump has lost nearly 10% of voters—almost 20% of his support—since his election last year. He’s done so largely because he’s pursued the policies he ran on, and most people hate them. Who is at fault for voters not understanding what he ran on? I’d say the press is largely culpable.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

In 1940 would Roosevelt have told Churchill he held none of the cards and so should give half the UK and its coal mines to Hitler with no guarantee Hitler would not later take the remainder of the UK? Well, that’s the kind of stance Trump is taking with Zelensky. Trump’s America shames us all.

It is legally impossible to deport citizens. This is not deportation. Removing citizens to foreign prisons, knowing to a certainty that they will be subjected to treatment that violates the U.S. constitution, doesn’t deserve any label that connotes legal legitimacy.

Wow… President Zelenskyy right now is thanking every world leader on Twitter who is showing their support for Ukraine after Russia’s brutal missile attack on civilians in Sumy. He is doing this because Trump and JD Vance refuse to condemn or even comment on Russia’s war crimes.
