Now we’re talking.

Expected. My money’s on Harvard.

Lots of good thoughts here re Garcia case. Either way it goes, the consequences for our democracy are enormous. I’m looking at you, John Roberts!

So where does this leave us?

All of this is totally reprehensible and repulsive. I suppose in the biology department “viewpoint diversity” would include creationism, in astronomy a representative of anti-Copernican thought, and in chemistry a spot for an alchemist.

Just like the kidnapping ICE committed in sending him there?

Pam Bondi is not doing well in the human resource management department. Pam Bondi’s punishments are making her own job harder www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Basically: I don’t think people understand that 36 hours from now it’s possible that America will have a formalized system for abducting enemies of the regime and stashing them in foreign gulags, indefinitely. www.thebulwark.com/p/bukele-abr...

This is organist Olena Kohut, killed today in Sumy by the Russian missile. Joseph Rheinberger, Visione, op. 156 no. 5 💔

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork. Gift article www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

You can tell what Bernie is doing is working because it’s making the New York post furious
