Loving this book, I read about 1/2 of it in one sitting and had to slow down so I could savor it more. I tend to avoid speculative fiction, but this one feels right for the times. Want to create a starter pack of people who've skeeted positive reviews of it. chireviewofbooks.com/2025/02/05/l...

If you claim to be a leader but are too scared to lead, fine -- sit down and let someone else take your place. It is easy to be bold when there is no threat. Now is a time for courage. www.cnn.com/2025/02/16/p...

“[Private equity investors] don’t announce that they’ve acquired something. They often keep the old name of the firm. They’re like a brain virus or a cancer inside the body of this new firm. It doesn’t announce itself until it gets very late,” —Martin Kenney www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

PLEASE... PLEASE REPOST and Share Brian's story. This is why so many of us go into the Govt. We just wanted to serve. Being rich or powerful never mattered. Helping... that mattered. It hurts so horribly seeing so many colleagues suffer.

Today, along with 2,000 other NIH employees, I had to clear out my office 😭 It was truly the honor of my life to work with such incredibly passionate people focused on improving human health. I’ve never experienced a more positive culture where everyone cared about their job and serving others.

On Feb. 14th I try always to give honor to one of the greatest contributors to American democracy in our nation’s history, Frederick Douglass. Born into slavery, Douglass never knew his actual birthdate, and adopted Feb. 14th as the day. His penetrating insights about our country inspire me daily.

revisiting this from a few days ago: www.npr.org/2025/02/04/n... Among other things, it further underscores how this is about race and ethnicity full stop. That is obvious to anyone willing to be honest about it. So many of these if they ever got to vote are readymade GOP voters. They don’t care

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this. Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.
