How do you grieve someone who is still living?

Playwright John Clancy creates a symbolic space and place of loneliness, fear, and possibility with his poems from Meadowood. His character, our hero, discovers a sense of self and purpose while describing the tension

(🧵) I’m going to say some things that may cost me followers. That’s only appropriate, given that what I say in this thread is about exactly that: how utterly meaningless everything is right now besides saving America—because without rule of law and democracy, nothing we dream of will ever come true.

Remember, this wasn’t some rando showing up at a meet-and-greet; Mamdani visited Wahhaj’s mosque. The man does not have red lines when it comes to his rogue’s gallery of supporters. He will not disavow the most violent and hateful among them.

Hamas will not succeed at that goal, but it will ensure that more innocent Gazans die needless deaths in the crossfire. Hamas is nothing but a death cult.

If Hamas has decided that it will not abide by the terms of the ceasefire, then it does not want a ceasefire — just as it has decided it does not want peace, only a limited truth in which to prepare for their next operation aimed at conquering Israel.

This trash from Masha Gessen, after the al-Ahli hospital and starving Gazans stories, may finally convince me to cancel my subscription to my hometown paper.

Albanese has persistently trafficked in libels, outlandish claims, delegitimization, warmongering, and antisemitism. She is not an optimist, she is a menace.

It’s a sad commentary on the NYT that I can’t tell whether their economics reporter is trolling for engagement (bad), or completely ignorant about the economic effects of the biggest change to the public health system in recent memory (worse).

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.

Shocking, I know. But given how much I hear from white progressives about the supposed “Hannibal doctrine” being responsible for all Oct. 7 Israeli civilian deaths, I can see easily how Holocaust denial became widespread.

This is quite a hed/subhed.
1) Start with Vance. Use strong action verb. Accept the autocratic premise that the “Marines’ Might” are Vance’s to flex.
2) Mention the protest second and absurdly describe them as in the thousands
3) Treat Trump’s strong man use of the military as a partisan scuffle.

Vance Flexes the Marines’ Might as Thousand Protest Trump’s Agenda

As much as I hate to hand it to Ford, they were very design-forward in the early ‘50s. Which is why it’s surprising to me that their 1954 delivery van here still had pontoon fenders, possibly the last year for them.

Then came the tail fins, which somehow Lincoln resisted.

I’m sure Israel will be blamed for Hamas seeing fit to doom many more Palestinians to their deaths and to kill some directly.

It’s a non-binding resolution, which is about the only good thing that can be said about it, plus the 13 no votes and 36 abstentions. It also wasn’t a resolution to annex, but to support a statement calling Yehuda and Shomron integral and eternal parts of Israel.

Seriously, though - people keep asking "what are the protesters asking for, and what's their strategic plan to get it?"

I think what they're asking for is for America to be restored and Trump to subjected to the law. And I think the plan to get it is to demonstrate that there are so, so many of us.
