I just have to say, as a historian of the Reconstruction-era Klan, that masked paramilitaries are very bad and masked vigilantes are even worse and there are causal links between the two and none of this is good for democracy.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Never thought as a former writing professor, I would be giving economics lessons to the Commerce Secretary, but here we are. Trump's chaotic tariffs are rooted in an arbitrary fear of a trade deficit, but a trade deficit means Americans are buying goods — a sign of financial security.

#PeteSeeger (appropriately on the left) on April 24, 1971, during the #OutNow anti-war demonstration. This was the day after #DeweyCanyonIII, when thousands of veterans tossed their medals over the Capitol's hastily erected fence. Can anyone identify the other two singers? #FirstCircleImaging

Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.

Not sure why Mr. Mast tried to ignore my question about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. But I did ask a question — and the American people got an answer. I hope and pray Sec. Rubio's answer was true, and that aid begins flowing into Gaza now.

Remember when Trump said he wouldn't touch Medicaid, Medicare or SS? The nonpartisan CBO issued a report Tues. finding that the GOP’s budget bill would automatically trigger over $500 BILLION in automatic cuts to MEDICARE. ⚠️SNEAKY! 1/2 newrepublic.com/post/195553/...

Ashli Babbitt was a domestic terrorist who attempted to overthrow our government via a violent insurrection at our nation’s Capitol. The administration agreeing to pay her family $5 million of taxpayer money is disgraceful.

#2025, #Mayday, #WrappedInTheFlag, #FirstCircleImaging Our country is not the only thing to which we owe our allegiance. It is also owed to justice and to humanity. Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong. --James Bryce

I've said it before, and I'll repeat it: The expulsion of expertise from government and academia during Mao's Cultural Revolution devastated China for decades, particularly in science and technology. That profound harm led the country to take education as seriously as it does today. wapo.st/3YTivKW

Every time a new scandal is reported from the Trump admin, which is every few hours, their first reaction is to call the story fake news, their second reaction is to vow to hunt down and jail the leakers, and their third reaction is to threaten the media company who published it.
