I pled “not guilty” in federal court yesterday.
Someone did “unreasonably obstruct the usual use” of the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza.
But it wasn’t me.

You have two minutes to explain to John Adams and George Washington what has happened to the US, how it got that way, and ask them what modern day patriots should do about it.
Go.

I finally read that Oklahoma state essay rightwingers have embraced as a cause. I'm an English prof. I, too, would have failed it. If I was a conservative Christian, I think I'd be even more offended by this student trying to use faith as a cover for not doing the work.

The Prime Minister of Poland appeals to US and publicly questions whether “something has changed” to make the US no longer a European ally.
The Deputy Prime Minister responds to Musk saying the EU should be abolished by telling him to “Go to Mars.
There's no censorship of Nazi salutes there.”

After making historic cuts to SNAP in his One Big, Beautiful Bill, Trump is once again attacking Americans who rely on aid to keep food on the table.
His renewed efforts to starve people during the holidays are predicated on forcing states to share your data, as if DOGE wasn’t bad enough!

I don't think transgender athletes are the problem facing girls and women in sports.
Investigators say former coach Sean Gardner created videos showing close-up images of at least 10 minors naked or undressing, which they recovered from his computers last year while investigating reports of sexual abuse.
Gardner has pleaded not guilty and has been jailed pending trial.

THREAD. The Toad Who Lived In My Dad's Shoe.
A few years ago, my dad was surprised when I a small toad wandered into his porch and took up residence in one of the old shoes he liked to wear for gardening tasks.
This led to more drama than might've been anticipated.

We're all trapped in a box with "Convenience" & "Simplification" written on its doors, which open only one way, & in fact lead to the antithesis of both things. And the box is full of people who call you a luddite if you point out the glaring truth, which is that none of it is making people happier.
