Honestly, one of the only things that can "save" us is white disillusionment in white supremacy. Once they throw out those old beliefs and finally join the team with the rest of us, our country (and world) can survive. So many things America could've had without constantly being burnt down.

Folks, Gonzaga might not make the tournament for the first time under Mark Few. Losing at home tonight to Saint Mary's is not great — and they've got two road games against competent teams to close out the regular season in the next week.

Spudnik, in frightening echo of Trumpism, wants to cut public service jobs -especially those in “DEI” positions. What coalition really want to do is cut govt positions & increase contractual expenditure ..so they can say they’ve reduced govt employee expenditure www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

JJ Redick said pregame that he wanted Luka Doncic to have "at least one blackout episode where he's screaming indiscriminately at no one in particular because he's excited... That's the Luka I know." Looked like one of those moments that happened after that last 3 from Doncic, his 3rd of the game.

Germany’s general election is Sunday. Elon Musk, Trump’s Nazi-saluting billionaire bro, is continuing to amplify enthusiastic support for Germany’s AfD — a political party rife with neo-Nazis. Chapters of the AfD are considered right-wing "extremist" groups by Germany's…

Big factor in Lakers-Nuggets so far: LAL with only 3 turnovers for 2 Nuggets' points. Denver with 12 turnovers for 23 Lakers' points. LAL's been doubling Jokic from the baseline effectively today, a significant factor in his 3 turnovers so far.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Putin: What they say about us, that we're going to attack EU after Ukraine, is complete nonsense. It's intimidation of their own population solely to get money out of them. This is happening in the context of the fact that their economies are sinking, and standards of living are falling Flip it 180

So do we need to see this as show of force by a malign hacker? Are we really supposed to believe all federal workers report directly to Musk and not their bosses, even in independent agencies? Musk isn’t trying to reform our govt - he is trying to break it.
