I am rather amazed to find out that some of our master tapes made it into the library system. Some of these shows were recorded more than 35 years ago. I was the host and co-producer when the live music show first launched. And it's still on the air! exhibits.stanford.edu/kzsu/feature...

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

NEW: Georgia’s governor promotes his Medicaid work requirement as a national model for reform. Yet the program has cost taxpayers $86M, three-quarters of which has gone to consultants, and enrolled less than 3% of the quarter-million Georgians eligible.

In light of what is happening today, my seminar tomorrow on Harold Lasswell and propaganda analysis will include this old, short film on which he consulted. It had been optional viewing, now it will be required. Easy to justify the 10 minutes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaWS...

I just learned of Gary's passing last year. RIP. His second band, Sister Double Happiness, played on the live music show I hosted at @kzsustanford.bsky.social in the 80s/90s. Lynn played so hard it was tough to get a good mix in our small studio, but they were great. www.kqed.org/arts/1395722...

A huge decision from Judge Amir Ali, meticulously reasoned and utterly scathing, finding that Trump’s foreign aid freeze is almost certainly an illegal and arbitrary abuse of power. He orders the immediate restoration of all international assistance. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Hey @nytimes.com there is no way to legally "pause" a law like this. Maybe that should be mentioned in the story. Or the headline. Please do not just publish "Trump objects" stories without some grounding in the Constitution. Or the freaking moment. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

I really wish the New York Times would do their job. The president cannot “pause enforcement.” It’s illegal, unconstitutional, and impeachable. Gift link:

An unelected billionaire is illegally seizing control of the US government apparatus and carrying out a flurry of crimes as part of an unprecedented authoritarian power grab that directly violates several laws and the US Constitution. Say it plainly. It’s fact.

If you don’t stand up for rule of law, nothing else matters. It’s the mechanism of accountability in democracies. If Trump can do anything he wants with shutting down agencies, it’s naive to imagine he will follow the rules in elections and beyond. Preserving rule of law is existential to democracy.

The United States built the largest and most fruitful scientific enterprise the world has ever seen, acquiring great prosperity and stability as a result. And now fascists are tearing it all down. Censoring scientists, deleting data, purging institutions. A tremendous loss.
