This was the first time in their lives, I realized, that these boys and girls had been in an actual classroom. The Russian invasion began as covid was ending. Two years of covid seclusion had been followed directly by three years of war. The kids were buoyant. snyder.substack.com/p/my-favorit...

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

The utterly corrupt Mayor of NYC is held hostage by an utterly corrupt President. Trump is pawning Adams, quite cheaply, for his racist war on immigrants. And once again, the #FecklessDems (esp Gov Hochul) can force Adams out... but, alas, crickets from their corner. bit.ly/3EIB0uh

A federal judge, Amir H. Ali, ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze foreign aid spending halted in Trump’s first week, ruling that the freeze was based on dubious logic and likely causing irreparable harm to aid groups facing financial shortfalls and potential shutdowns.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Trump’s strategy of allowing predatory capitalists to destroy state capacity and extract wealth, attacking higher Ed, and disappearing people into black sites (Gitmo) feels like what the US backed in Latin American Cold War dictatorships coming back home.

Make no mistake, Donald Trump and Elon Musk are destroying the credibility of the Department of Justice by sending its lawyers into court to make absurd legal arguments and repeated factual misrepresentations. This will not end well.
