This time last week I was at a museum. The only reason we have a record of early writing in Greece, it seems, is that cities were destroyed by fire - and the clay tablets that were used like mini-chalkboards were baked with the last figures still on them.

A big reason the fascist administration doesn't want Mr. Abrego Garcia back in the U.S. is because they know that when he tells his story in his own words more people will be disgusted.

We've seen videos like this before, but usually when you see a tearful wife pleading with the kidnappers who have taken her husband, she's not talking to the U.S. president

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The Limey was one of the last films I saw in Minneapolis before flying to the UK to study drama. Brilliant, acerbic, moving.

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

I remember spending £2000 to be told "you don't have ADHD - you probably have autism but you would need to be tested for it" and at that point I knew I'd been scammed

Spot the American. Is it someone who speaks his mind and does the work to get citizenship? Or is it someone born into citizenship who covers his face while abducting people in a Черный ворон?

12 Dem Senators and 48 Dem House members voted for the Laken Riley Act—allowing US Govt to deport immigrants on the mere accusation of a crime. As you see those 60 Dems complain about Mahmoud Khalil, Rumeysa Ozturk, or Kilmar Abrego Garcia, among many more—please know they enabled this fascism.

Drinking beer after champagne is a mistake. Sleeping with your ex might be a mistake. Hitting civilians with ballistic missile on Palm Sunday is deliberate terror, and is exactly what Russia’s doing.

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

Today, Mohsen Mahdawi, a legal resident of Vermont, walked into an immigration office to complete a final step for citizenship. Instead, he was arrested by plain-clothed, armed individuals with faces covered. This is immoral, inhumane, and illegal. He must receive due process and be released.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

The constitutional crisis is here. The President is disobeying lawful court orders. His advisors and allies are cheering him on. And Kilmar Abrego Garcia remains trapped in a jail in El Salvador. youtu.be/HGTIELDTHOo?...

Just so you’re aware, if you wear glasses, that’s a mobility aid and you’re disabled. Glasses are just so normalized that most people don’t see it as such. Imagine if most mobility aids were that way. Imagine how much more respect disabled people would get. It’s completely possible.

🇵🇱❗️🇭🇺 Sikorski slams Hungary for lacking "moral clarity" on Russia’s war. 🗣️ “Putin talks about peace, but bombs civilians and kills children. The victim agrees to a ceasefire — he escalates. That gives us clarity. Hungary clearly lacks it.”

My favourite time of my holiday is when I finally have the headspace to be able to mark the end-of-term assessments! It's a non-stop thrill ride of pure pleasure and not at all about rehashing how I've let kids down no matter how successful they are in this miniscule snapshot of retained knowledge.

Abraham Lincoln was shot 160 years ago today. In an era where we face threats to democratic government and the constitutional order, it helps to read Lincoln’s Cooper Union Address, a response to threats to democratic government and the constitutional order. Lincoln shows a spine and guts.
