Adam the Golem was a calm, reflective soul
With his chiseled jaw
And his sculpted abs
And two eyes made out of coal.
Adam the Golem was a fairytale they say.
He was made of clay
But the rabbis say
That he came to life one day.

Pinned thread with various creative works I want to be able to find later. First, Adam the Golem, the story of the golem of Prague set to a possibly familiar tune: bsky.app/profile/toms...

If you saw today's headline that Gallup will stop measuring presidential approval, they did the same thing in 2018. They do it whenever Trump is president.

There's 17 republicans running and only three Dems, including the 2024 nominee Shawn Harris - since its a jungle primary with only the top two candidates advancing to the runoff, there's a very funny/unlikely world where the GOP vote is so diluted that both Dems make it.

βBlood in the water.β Why Republicans fear an upset in MTGβs backyard.
A 21-person race to succeed Marjorie Taylor in Congress has Georgia Republicans on edge, worried the crowded field could benefit Democrats.

First, the Trump administration said it detained Leqaa Kordia for an immigration violation.
Then, they used her participation in a pro-Palestine Columbia protest to justify it.
Now, they say she supports Hamas because she sent money to family in Palestine.

Why Has This Columbia University Protester Been in ICE Detention for Nearly a Year?
Leqaa Kordia's family worries about her health after she was briefly hospitalized last week. DHS refused to give them information about her condition and she is still 'very sick.'

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paulβan hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

Vanderbilt Prof. Larry Bartels told me the data show Europeans have become *more* welcoming of immigrants in recent decades, a fact obscured by news coverage of the far-right. Journalists, he said, prefer to write the more alarming story. www.theredoubt.net/the-far-righ...
The far right is still not the future
From America to Europe, most people don't share the values of right-wing extremists.
