On the Glorious 25th May we remember John Keel, Dai Dickens, Ned Coates, Horace Nancyball, Billy Wiglet, Cecil Clapman, and (sort of) Reg Shoe. “They did the job they didn’t have to do, and they died doing it” #gnuterrypratchett #speakhisname #theglorious25may #HowDoTheyRiseUp

Ms. Rachel had the same arc as Ta Nehisi Coates where learning the basic facts of the situation made her go “this is unambiguously wrong” and it freaks out the credentialists who think serious people are supposed to say it’s complicated

Mayor Baraka’s arrest was shocking — and he should be released immediately. I called ICE leadership who relayed that the mayor was arrested for trespassing. 1/3

I was just telling a grad student an hour ago how I felt like my new research project on the politics of arbitrary numbers felt very out of step with the politics of the present moment, but I sure am rethinking that comment now ... This is absurd.

It was great stuff today. Kudos to Booker. But it needs to be the <start> of continuous action, every day, to keep this going & build on it. Prove those of us who were skeptical about the performative nature of it wrong. Use every possible platform & power as Senators to defeat the fascism. More.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated. The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west). My column: www.ft.com/content/3046...

Occam's Razor: always go back to Trump's 3 core beliefs, as spelled out by Tom Wright in 2016: Trump is anti-trade, anti-alliances, and pro-authoritarianism. All the theater with Macron and Starmer, all the talk of deals--he is not going to give Ukraine security anything.

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

I'm a teacher and the line in the article from her AP Gov teacher posting that DOGE was about "transparency" felt crushing. I know it's only one small part but the failure of teachers to educate future voters about why authoritarianism is bad is so distressing.

"People on the side of The People always ended up disappointed... They found that The People tended not to be grateful or appreciative or forward-thinking or obedient. The People tended to be small-minded and conservative and not very clever and were even distrustful of cleverness." -T Pratchett
