Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else?

What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.

Honestly, a tough convo for me to have, for so many reasons. But I think Zue's disenchantments are relatable for so many more people than say, America's politicians, acknowledge
And on Slate’s What Next, @maryharris.bsky.social talks to US vet Zue Jernstedt, who is currently on the Global Sumud Flotilla heading to Gaza. It’s clear Jernsetdt has thought about all of this very deeply. slate.com/podcasts/wha...

The Supreme Court derives its power from its legitimacy. It earns its legitimacy by explaining its decisions. The endless stream of wholly unexplained orders in favor of the Trump administration is not just indefensible—it's a threat to the court's own long-term power. This reeks of illegitimacy.
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).

It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.

It has written majority opinions in only 3.

Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*
Here we go again: Over an acerbic dissenting opinion by Justice Sotomayor (joined in full by Justices Kagan and Jackson), #SCOTUS, with no explanation, grants a stay in the Department of Education RIFs case—effectively clearing the way for the Trump administration to dismantle much of the agency:

I wrote about how James Gunn’s Superman alters a load-bearing piece of the character’s mythology to tell a very different kind of immigrant story.
Conservatives Are Freaking Out About the New, “Woke” Superman. He’s Something Else Entirely.
Yes, the latest blockbuster makes Clark Kent an immigrant—but that’s not the twist.

Music is such an important element to James Gunn’s work and the decision to make Clark’s sincere embrace of music that others consider to be cringe is honestly such a great way to showcase who Superman is as a person and that he always sticks by his beliefs regardless of what other people think

you know, i’m not militantly pro city-run groceries — i think it is an interesting idea to pilot and try out! — but i’m getting negatively polarized into being a big supporter just from these incredibly vapid, brain-dead posts.

Horrifying but clarifying to see these folks for who they really are, in their own words
So, these people are white supremacists of a very specific, American kind. The idea that the right to govern belongs only to a select, racially defined group was *the* political theory of the antebellum and redeemed south. Ask who is being replaced and why that’s a problem, you’ll see it.
