Just finished "The Bomber Mafia" by Malcolm Gladwell. Wow. Incredible build-up to the conclusion. Definitely a powerful book. You should listen to the audiobook, as that's what the book was written for first. I listened via Spotify Premium. www.pushkin.fm/audiobooks/t...

I’m over here wondering how a politician (or one running to be one) got so good at video and audio. (Not slam against Kay, but against all the 80+ yo boomers killing us and our bank accounts). Follow from Iowa.

Say the Words: American Concentration Camp. “What is happening now is not a deviation. It is an expansion. The tools were always there. The tools were always sharpened on Black bodies. They are merely being used more broadly now, and with less pretense.” [davidgate.substack.com]

It’s beyond me why any tourist or athlete would come to the US for the World Cup or the Olympics.

Great article and read from one of my university professors @christophermartin.bsky.social. "Collectively building a nonprofit, cooperative global news-based social media platform would put verified news back in the center of public discourse." www.commondreams.org/opinion/soci...

Thank you @lyz.bsky.social for marking 5 years since COVID lockdowns started. Appreciate you including your original Op-Ed as well. I don't have anything pithy or remarkable to say! But it's good to reflect on where we were, how we felt, and where we are today. lyz.substack.com/p/how-has-yo...

Don't understand how more business leaders and owners aren't speaking up to their representatives. Especially here in Iowa. Our farmers are going to get slammed. John Deere is already getting slammed. Personal liberties are eroding every day. www.dailykos.com/story/2025/2...
