In 1672, Johan de Witt was the Dutch prime minister, but other factions preferred a king; De Witt resigned, but was attacked by a mob, who tortured him, grilled his liver, and served it to the crowds. History: Learn it or repeat it.

Statue of Johan van Oldenbarnevelt, The Hague, Netherlands. He was an influential Dutch statesman who was executed by the king he served after a falling out. History - learn it or repeat it.

Pundits: Why didn't Kamala Harris run on kitchen table issues?

Kamala Harris's campaign speeches:
We believe in a future where every person has the opportunity to build a business (applause), to own a home, to build intergenerational wealth (applause), a future with affordable health care (applause), affordable childcare, paid leave. (Applause.) And all of this is to say: Building up the middle class will be a defining goal of my presidency. (Applause.) Because we here all know, when our middle class is strong, America is strong. (Applause.) And to keep our middle class strong, families need relief from the high cost of living so that they have a chance not just to get by but to get ahead. (Applause.) And, yes, it is true that by many indicators, our economy is the strongest in the world (applause), but while inflation is down and wages are up, prices are still too high. (Applause.) You know it, and I know it. (Applause.) That's why we will create what I call an opportunity economy. An opportunity economy where everyone has a chance to compete and a chance to succeed. Whether you live in a rural area, small town, or big city. As President, I will bring together: Labor and workers, Small business owners and entrepreneurs, And American companies. To create jobs. Grow our economy. And lower the cost of everyday needs. Like health care. Housing. And groceries. We will: Provide access to capital for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and founders. We will end America's housing shortage. And protect Social Security and Medicare. Compare that to Donald Trump. He doesn't actually fight for the middle class. Instead, he fights for himself and his billionaire friends. He will give them another round of tax breaks, that will add 5 trillion dollars to the national debt.

Rigoletto agrees it’s time to release the Epstein files. Bring the curtain down on this administration, put the spotlight on justice.

Historic preservation is confusing. In Seattle, we conferred permanent landmark status to a Walgreen’s drive-thru.

From a young age, Diane Keaton, who died Saturday at 79, seemed to understand that actual beauty, the timeless kind, required a degree of depth, even darkness, @adriennelaf.bsky.social writes.

Currently house hunting abroad, and while there are many differences, the biggest one I see is that unlike Americans, Europeans don’t seem to need to hang words on the wall to remind themselves to be happy, or what each room is for. #livelovelaugh #gather #expat
