I was brought up believing that immigrants are the best of us: people who CHOSE to be Americans, often in the face of great risk and hardship.

I'm currently rewatching Voyager to disconnect from how terrible the world is.

As we all know, NEH funding was already almost inexpressibly meager. It bears repeating that they’ve targeted NEH and IMLS exactly because they’ve been *incredibly* efficient at spurring new thought, writing, and community-building.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

If you've only just discovered Parker Posey in The White Lotus, now is a good time to let you know that The House of Yes is some of her finest work. Go watch it. I'll wait.

Don't forget that just hours before he took office, Trump became a crypto billionaire by shilling a worthless meme coin.
And of course he didn't divest from any of his other businesses.
Is it any wonder that ethics are out the window in the second Trump administration?

Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.
The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more
Now those rules are gone.
