I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Oy.
Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

I don't mean to be glib or trivializing: Texas A&M's "to end indoctrination you must teach only our doctrine" is some arbeit macht frei obscenity. No, of course it's not genocide. But it's the logic of sadistic erasure, the way in 1984 2+2=5 made even believing the truth impossible.

Dirty deeds done at great expense.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

When a white man murders another white man, God can only be appeased by prayer and the sacrifice of Black journalists. But how many Black journalists have to be fired? Ross Douthat drops by to explain.

We have a large - and growing - forest fire across the water from Seattle. And this is how the federal government chooses to contribute.

Hi y’all! I have COVID right now and it absolutely sucks. Please wear a mask and wash your hands. I promise that you don’t want this.
Covid is at its highest point in a year in King County, with nearly twice the normal number of people visiting the ER every week for Covid-related symptoms or complications. It’s part of a nationwide Covid wave.

I wish ill on JK Rowling. She had such potential to do good and she burned it all up.
it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people

reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

6 days after Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968, a Prague paper published these “10 Commandments”:
‘When a Soviet soldier comes to you, YOU:
1. Don’t know
2. Don’t care
3. Don’t tell
4. Don’t have
5. Don’t know how to
6. Don’t give
7. Can’t do
8. Don’t sell
9. Don’t show
10. Do nothing’
