As a reminder to everyone, a key part of the Bari Weiss origin story is her livetweeting editorial meetings.
In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance.

Indiana Republicans Are Banning Student IDs for Voting
The new restriction, paired with Indiana’s stringent voter ID rules, is poised to make it much harder for many young people to vote in a state that already ranks near-last in turnout.

![7 The Oxford English Dictionary’s secondary definition of “rebellion” is “[o]pen or
determined defiance of or resistance to any authority, controlling power, or convention; an
instance of this.” Examples of this usage include spiritual rebellion (“The event of this
evening has reconciled me to God and humanity! I had risen in angry rebellion against
providence.” (quoting Brontë, Wuthering Heights, 87 (New York, Harper & Bros. 1858)
(1847))) and familial rebellion (“He had forgotten that he had it, but told me when he saw
it that he remembered it as the first thing that made him begin to rise against his father in a
rebellion which he recognized as righteous.” (quoting Butler, The Way of All Flesh, 178

Tonight he was the only Senate Dem to vote to confirm Jared Kushner’s convict dad as ambassador to France.

If Rational Arguments no longer work in US governance, it’s evidence of a deeper problem in our educational system, which favors what to know over how to think — how to critically analyze, process, & verify information.
Seems like a bad time to reduce funding for Public Education.

Has anyone asked the Department of Homeland Security why the agents it hires for ICE, HSI, etc. are so cowardly, weak and out-of-shape that a) they won't even show their faces in public and b) they need to pretend they were "assaulted" by two woman members of Congress, one of whom is 80 years old?

Woman Reminds Self Not To Catastrophize After Spotting 4 Skeletal Horsemen On Horizon
LOWELL, MA—Doing her best to follow her therapist’s advice for dealing with stressful situations, area woman Holly Debling reportedly reminded herself Tuesday not to catastrophize after she spotted four skeletal horsemen on the horizon. “Okay, Holly, remember: Just because a great trumpet has sounded at the arrival of four unearthly riders, that doesn’t necessarily mean […]

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.
