Hurrying up to finish Walden before I have to hand it back to the library by 6 - who knew that a book written more than 150 years ago would be so popular as to have multiple holds?

A law enforcement apparatus powerful enough to identify, surveil, and apprehend 10MM undocumented immigrants is powerful enough to enforce any succeeding whim of the state. When has such an empowered agency ever accomplished its stated goal and just decided to stop there?

There's so much stuff on our social media timelines that we scroll past quickly, maybe with a "oh cool" and then moving on, but if you stop and think about what you are seeing here, it's really amazing. You're watching a high-resolution panorama view from *another* *world*. Wow. Just wow. 🔭

Don't assume maximalist outcomes for the Trump administration. That's a form of psychological surrender. We should attempt to exploit every stumble, failure, and misstep, and there will be stumbles, failures, and missteps.

It’s only been a few days on this app, but I’m pleased to see that the few right wing trolls/crypto shills on here are not getting much engagement. Perhaps we’ve collectively learned to not give them the validation they crave.

Currently re-reading Livy. One of the things I’ve always loved about ancient primary sources is that, if you toss them out because they exaggerate, you might be left with no sources at all. Piecing together the remote past can feel like detective work. #rome #books
