It's gotten lost amidst everything else, but a sitting Vice President traveling overseas to speak at a campaign rally for a flailing authoritarian leader is such a massive violation of both norms and democratic values

Trump scrapped all protections of the Rice's whale in favor of big oil.

It may result in the first extinction of a whale species in North American waters in 300 years.

Criminalizing providers for mailing abortion drugs to patients could mean doctors are less willing to prescribe certain drugs to pregnant women, an expert on reproductive health law and history told the Mississippi Free Press after the Mississippi Legislature approved the bill.

It's not enough for Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales to end their campaigns -- they both need to resign or be expelled from Congress, today. Their should be zero tolerance for sexual abuse and harassment on Capitol Hill

The fallen buried at Arlington deserve better than to spend eternity in the shadow of someone else’s ambition. Some places should not be improved. Some views should not be interrupted. Some silences should be left alone. #CivilWarMemory open.substack.com/pub/kevinmlevin/p/an-arch-too-far-trumps-vanity-monument?r=19280n&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.

Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.

This has lifted me out of a reading slump: Enard, Tell them of Battles, trans. @avecsesdoigts.bsky.social, a beautiful short novel imagining Michelangelo in Constantinople in 1506. A fragmentary book about fragments, drafts, desires, acts of creative imagination, the thrill of translation.

One person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this and refuses to act.

I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears.

"She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.”

“'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..."

If corporations are lining up to donate to the White House, there are really only two explanations: either CEOs suddenly love paying taxes voluntarily... or they're expecting something in return.

The question worth asking is simple: if they're buying, what is the White House selling?
