There's a usefulness to caring what people think about you—an extremely limited, penny-sized, often-self-cannibalizing stock of utility. Beyond that modicum of caring, any concern you have for what people think of you holds you back from being successful and achieving your goals. What I've learned.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov speech. One thing that resonated with me is that after we discriminated against deported immigrants, LGBTQ Comm, the disabled, women and minorities, once we betrayed our friends and neighbors after that when the problems are still there, then what comes next?

Take J. Edgar Hoover and then make him 30 times worse. The whole nation will suffer for this folly. Suffer so much more than anyone yet realizes. This was a critical benchmark Trump had to hit to advance his plan to destroy democracy. Everyone who voted for Kash Patel should live in infamy forever.

Donald Trump is a Russian asset; it no longer matters if it’s witting or unwitting. He routinely spreads disinformation that originates in the Kremlin and the FSB, and does it to hurt America and our friends. If you support Trump, you have—morally speaking—betrayed your country.

How could this possibly happen? I was told Apartheid Clyde and his teenage ninja Nazis were the very smartest people and knew how to do EVERYTHING. @rokhanna.bsky.social told me.

With Justin Turner on the books, I think I’m ready to go with my first Opening Day roster projection here for MLB and AAA. I’m cautiously projecting Nico and Luke Little to make it back in time for OD, but not the same outcome for Assad and Birdsell. Will do my best to update over next month.

Instead of Napoleon, Trump should cite Óscar Benavides: "For my friends, anything. For my enemies, the law."

Do NOT open your door for any authority unless they have a warrant — from a court, signed by a judge. NO warrant, NO entry. If they arrest you, you ALWAYS have the right to remain silent, even if they don’t read you any rights. The ONLY thing to say: “I want a lawyer.”

Hagan Scotten, who wrote this spectacular resignation letter, was an army ranger for 8 years, top of his law school class (Harvard) & a John Roberts law clerk. Not exactly a candidate for Trump’s liberal deep state.

Heroic & brilliant writing. The art of the principled resignation letter.

Scotten’s background is notable. Like Danielle Sassoon, he clerked for conservative judges, including Chief Justice John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh.

On Abraham Lincoln's 216th birthday, it's worth listening to this important warning he gave us back in 1838. Does any of this sound familiar to you? www.youtube.com/shorts/s2WcV...

Back during the pandemic we had this thing we never really talked about in which when someone asked how we were doing, we all just prefaced our answer with some variant of "Well, aside from...all this..." I've noticed over the last few weeks that we're all doing that again.

Republicans will squat in the dark and shit on their shoes and call it freedom, just so long as the people they hate have it worse.
