Marc Blitzstein chimes in

NYPD is evacuating the building Barnard protestors occupied following a bomb threat. Cosplaying as terrorists, threatening to bomb your campus “for Palestine,” and distributing antisemitic, violent Hamas propaganda is NOT normal social justice behavior. It is domestic terrorism.

Doctor Zhivago on @tcm. There are scenes that are exactly the way I saw them in my mind when I read the novel, some lines quoted exactly from the book. Then there are the opening and closing scenes, tagged on. Why? A mother’s funeral, Mother Russia’s death. No stronger opening than Pasternak’s.

I just found out that TASS broadcast the meeting LIVE. This was a set up.

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

This is the developing consensus. It was a set-up.

DO WHAT I’M TELLING YOU!

Zero Democratic votes for the Republican budget made to cut programs like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, and food stamps to pay for billionaire tax cuts. Reject being the minority, embrace being the opposition!

💥 BREAKING: At Apple's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders today, proposal entitled “Request to Cease DEI Efforts" is rejected by shareholders. Right-wing nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) proposal was also rejected by Costco shareholders 98-2 percent.

Donald Trump’s firing of military leaders — four-star General Brown and four-star Admiral Franchetti — along with top legal officers is a betrayal of legions of first rate service members who dedicate their lives to our nation’s defense. This is a growing national security risk.

Connolly: "The fallacy of Musk's argument is they never look at revenue. They only look at expenditures. If you want to save social security, it's a fairly easy fix. Raise income threshold subject to withholding tax & you can extend social security by 40 to 50yrs. He doesn't want to talk about that"

Ninth grade reading list included “All The King’s Men.” Just rewatched the 1949 film on @tcmtv.bsky.social. A gentle reminder neither the book nor the film was intended to be used as a primer.

“No American can be proud of a government that carries out change in this way. Neither can these actions be rationalized by discussion of past grievances or appeals to efficiency. Everything can be more efficient, but adherence to the rule of law is paramount.” www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Fears and frustrations linger among university researchers around the country whose research work is now in limbo as President Donald Trump’s administration aims to cut what it deems as “wasteful” federal spending.

“Acosta’s exit will further the narrative that CNN has softened its approach to covering Trump in his second term.” CNN anchor Jim Acosta will exit network after turning down midnight shift

It is remarkable that for all the edgelord shit they still talk in these euphemisms. It’s so incredibly cowardly. Also Italy was famously unified in the 19th century after being conquered and reconquered, italian is the opposite of a timeless ethnic identity bsky.app/profile/thes...
