I told my kids once that seeing bald eagles is a sign of good fortune and now everytime the youngest sees a big bird he thinks it’s a bald eagle and I don’t ever have the heart to tell him he’s wrong. He’s five. anyway, trump reminds me of that because this is very clearly not a bald eagle
Trump posted a photo claiming it shows a bald eagle in the United States killed by a windmill.
In reality, the image is of a dead falcon in Israel from 2017.

Plato argued in the Republic that the 'tyrant,' or someone with unlimited wealth and power, would live the worst possible life because his soul would be devoured by lawless, unlimited desires that could never be sated. I think we've gotten confirmation of this from more cases than Trump lately
I always thought Plato was pretty pollyannaish on this point, but this is decent evidence for the view that a man of bad character will therefore be unhappy even with every external trapping of success and good fortune.
President Donald Trump gifted the world with nearly 200 Truth Social posts (and counting) on Christmas Day, where he amplified conspiracy theories about the 2020 election and called for a member of Congress to be deported.

At this point I can only assume Miller posts this shit to be infuriating on purpose, and you know what? That’s bait I’m not going to take today
Immigrant-hating Stephen Miller talks about Americans being "first to harness the atom." But the first controlled, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction was conducted by a team led by Italian immigrant Enrico Fermi, who didn't become a U.S. citizen until a year and a half later.

I once danced on stage with Bella and Sebastian and it was the coolest I’ll ever be.
The most hipster thing I ever did was go to the Belle & Sebastian Dance Party hosted by Joey Sweeney at National Mechanics where they had a build your own Bloody Mary bar.
It was a stone groove tbf

A couple years ago we saw Belle & Sebastian in Philadelphia, and they put up photos they had taken around the city. One was of the Union League and everyone booed. They had no idea why. “Republicans!” we shouted. They just knew it as the building from Trading Places. 😆

kavanaugh not beating the allegations that he’s a dumbass
Brett Kavanaugh (September 2025): The facts and how they relate to the law don’t matter. Assume ICE and other federal forces always act with integrity, always respect rights, and consistently impose minimal burden.
Brett Kavanaugh (December 2025): Should I not have done that? Was that wrong?

*has shown me, I guess. We have known this. this is just another grisly reminder of the deep moral rot.
But this man has calcified something in my heart. He is unredeemable. His heart is a black hole and the fact that we elected this man to represent us, to speak for us, to represent American style democracy tells me something is deeply wrong with this country.
I regularly tell my students that empathy is a superpower, it’s a skill, and if they can refine it and use it they not only will be successful but they will have peace in their lives. I have tried over and over to model that for them and I used to believe redemption was always possible

I knew the Spencer Cox is a moderate, serious republican stuff was bullshit all along and I would like my award for that now.
Utah has had universal vote-by-mail since 2019, and a recent poll found that 87 percent of Utahns trust that their ballots are counted accurately. But Utah’s governor signed a law this spring that ends this system.
Utah Was a Rare Red State to Champion Mail Voting. That Era Is Ending.
Inspired by the architects of Project 2025, Utah adopted a Republican bill to end universal mail voting and impose new restrictions on absentee ballots.

Nayra Guzmán was 15 days post C-section — going to see her baby in the NICU — when she was taken to Broadview and held in custody for about 34 hours.
She slept on a bench and barely got food. She couldn't pump.
Her story is a rare window into the growing detention of pregnant & postpartum people.
