Some federal judges received billionaire Elon Musk's email demanding they detail their accomplishments over the past week, one he said carried the threat of firing. Court staff, too. Judges don't work for the president and he can't fire them. www.reuters.com/world/us/som...

these people were neither elected nor confirmed, and they don't even officially work for the government. It is absolutely insane they have been given this much power.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Shoutout to the Los Angeles Times reporters who are doing essential journalism under very difficult circumstances. They’ve dropped their paywall, but their ongoing coverage is a good reminder of why local newsrooms need support — and what we lose when those outlets are hollowed out.

service, leadership, kindness, compassion, empathy, strength, diplomacy… these are just a few of the words that first come to my mind with regard to former President Carter and his life’s work. The world has lost some light, but his legacy will shine on.
