A voice for the ages. A commitment through her art to the cause of her people. A defining presence. I have loved Roberta Flack for as long as I can remember. An educator, a towering artist, a proud black woman. She was the music of my youth and pointed the way to a spiritual maturity.

In 2020, the military was adamant about refusing to get involved in the election. That's why Trump hates General Mark Milley so much. Now, Trump is transforming the military into one that will back him up in 2029. We need to figure out how to prepare for that eventuality.

I hadn't seen this yesterday, Elon Musk saying two lawyers were "undermining civilization" which "seems like a generational trauma transfer issue." What a strange insult. Does he know their parents or something? Ah, I see: they're both Jewish. It's Musk being a Nazi. Again.

"One shouldn’t be surprised, at this point, to see Trump bend over backwards for Putin. But surely all those hawkish Republicans on the Hill would be moved to speak out in protest? Surely you jest." Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

Government’s wins are often invisible: Systems that avoid plane crashes; alliances that avert war; surveillance that prevent pandemics. Government wins are often the avoidance of loss. So how do we tell the story of the destruction of government? The story of future losses not averted?

@stevenmazie.bsky.social rightly calls this op-ed shoddy and pernicious. It’s a tortured effort to read birthright citizenship out of the 14th Amendment, obviously designed to put Trumpism above the U.S. Constitution.

Oh, I missed this: The Pope directly refutes JD Vance here: "The true ordo amoris that must be promoted is that which we discover by meditating constantly on the parable of the “Good Samaritan” … that is, by meditating on the love that builds a fraternity open to all, without exception."

This is my number one fear. When you take away the power of citizens to choose who they want to govern, then we are right back to where this country was prior to our hard fought battle against tyranny.

"Like most aspiring autocrats, [Trump] fears democratic institutions because they threaten to place restraints on him. And for him and his movement nothing is more concerning than free and fair elections."
