I just finished reading Quinn Slobodian’s Crack-up Capitalism. Like his earlier Globalists, it’s a brilliant piece of work.

Maybe too late, but I am glad to see this from Sen. Grassley.

This is not about following the law and facts. It’s about creating a spectacle the administration can spin.

Spot on. This is how actual negotiations (rather than capitulations) begin.

What hypocrisy! Will this new “Center for Intellectual Freedom” at the U of Iowa enable thoughtful and well-informed discussion about the President's actions and their effect on democratic governance? Not a chance. www.press-citizen.com/story/news/p...

I am longing to hear music of the contemporary resistance, especially music that can actually be sung by large numbers of people. Does any such music come to mind? This is a dramatic moment for creative singer/songwriters.

The U S Housed passed the misnomered SAVE Act yesterday (Apr 10). Here’s a link to the bill. If enacted, this bad bill will render a large number of citizens ineligible to vote. www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

Do none of the administrators at these universities understand the ramifications of not articulating the values of their institutions? Do none of them have the ability and courage to organize collective action?

Great story. Maybe Art’s tale merits an episode on one of Rick Steves’ TV travelogues.

Exactly right. Having elected politicians impose their political views on universities is the antithesis of academic freedom.

A thousand or so people in Iowa City standing up for democracy and rejecting the president’s illegal and unconstitutional acts.

Really enjoyed listening to @marthasjones.bsky.social and Chandra Manning respond to Trump's ridiculous EO concerning American history. That said, media outlets need to do a better job of stating up front what authority Trump has to influence the Smithsonian's work. 🗃️ www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

How often in history has Peter Theil’s theory been tested? What research has it been based on? What the f__k does he know about transforming actually-existing democracies into better ways of governing societies? He wants the government to do what he wants, not what people of the country want.

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

Murphy: "This is not a normal political fight. What Trump is doing right now is absolutely insidious. He is every single day acting unconstitutionally, he is trying to destroy the rule of law ... this to me is a moment where we need to be restraining POTUS's power, not giving him new authorities"
