The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

On the left, my warning from September 2024 about what Trump 2.0 would look like. On the right, recent headlines.
I wish I'd been wrong. But because Trump is following a classic authoritarian playbook, it’s up to state and local governments to push back on this tyranny while it’s still possible.

@lesliekarst.bsky.social love your vivid portrait of RBG's time at HL. I did more digging ... then the math. 1957-58 HLR was 56 men & 2 women. Ergo 56 of the 491 men in her class to the 2 of the 9 women that you mentioned. Ergo 22% of the women in her class made HLR that year & only 11% of the men.

Chronicle restaurant critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan went to the French Laundry for dinner.
Then Thomas Keller, one of the world's most famous chefs, asked her to leave.

This is what happened when Thomas Keller asked me to leave the French Laundry
Thomas Keller is a legendary chef. Chronicle critic MacKenzie Chung Fegan hadn’t met him, until she went to the French Laundry and he asked her to leave.

Every time Judge Howell says "DOGE" it sounds like she can't believe she has to say it.

So much oxygen about Humphries Executor and Myers, zero oxygen about WTF is DOGE, what is its authority, is it even constitutional, and does it have the power to cancel contracts, bring armed law enforcement, and threaten US citizens
Judge Howell spent a lot of time at the hearing questioning counsel about the peculiarities of USIP's status as a non-profit created by statute -- is it like a federal agency or not?-- but spent ZERO time asking comparable questions about DOGE.
