225 years ago, Congress first convened in Washington DC. I hope that once we finally are able to vote to release the Epstein files this week that the House can swiftly bring itself to do something meaningful to address the affordability challenges so many American families face day in and day out.

My most woke opinion is that we celebrate fighting in hockey because it’s a largely white sport and “boys will be boys” is how we talk about white men. We view fights in predominantly Black sports much differently.
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I just finished reading Careless People, the memoir of Sarah Wynn-Williams about her time at Facebook. And it’s completely bananas and totally in line with how Zuck treats his neighbors in this account.
SCOOP (free, as it's FOIA-based!): I obtained 1,665 pgs of documents about "Bicken Ben," a growing private school the Zuckerbergs ran illegally out of their Palo Alto compound
Neighbors complained the school for years. Then, in 2024, they reached their breaking point:

Neighbors complained about noise, security guards, and hordes of traffic. An unlicensed school named after the Zuckerbergs’ pet chicken tipped them over the edge.

I knew it was going to be bad, but I didn’t predict dissolving Congress. I do agree that it’s basically happened now and we’re all sleepwalking thinking we’ll go back to “normal.”
Hey so you know the White House and Mike Johnson have essentially dissolved Congress and their is only one functioning branch of the government, the executive, and it’s parallel fascist, militarized police force right?

Going to be amazing to continue the narrative when it’s all senior citizens waving American flags.

I subscribe to the small local paper in Logan, in SE Ohio. Usually not a lot going on, some discussion of managing tourism, business news, corrupt officials. Today they published an interview with the Ohio U professor who was on the aid flotilla to Gaza. I hope it reaches fresh eyes in the area.

Purdue administration has also clashed with our student paper, The Exponent, as Emery Denham, campus editor, reports here. Purdue has stopped distributing The Exponent on campus and pulled The Exponent's status as a Purdue vendor, putting visas at risk for Exponent employees.
A shared pattern: Purdue and Indiana University have suppressed student media
On Tuesday the Indiana Daily Student found out its director would be fired immediately and its print would be discontinued. This suppression of student media is a common theme throughout the state.
