I believe this means Doc Rivers has joined more public statements calling for the defense of higher education against the Trump Administration than has the President of the University of Chicago.
Tomorrow marks the 61st anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama. It also marks the 60th anniversary of the Supreme Court first upholding the Voting Rights Act.
We have gotten so, so far away from a Court that cares about democracy.
New from me at @brennancenter.org:
AG Katzenbach testified that it took thousands of hours to argue a single voting rights case --- at which point, vote suppressors, "even after apparent defeat in the courts, to devise whole new methods of discrimination. And often that means beginning the whole weary process all over again."
The FDA webpage had a stark warning: Some purported autism βcuresβ or treatments, including chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, are dangerous and make misleading claims.
Now, under RFK Jr.βs leadership, that advisory is gone.
Talarico winning wonβt βturn Texas blue.β But that sort of fixed designation doesnβt really make sense for a lot of states anyway. Allow me to demonstrate. www.ms.now/opinion/texa...
We identified 12 shootings by federal agents that led to the deaths or injuries of citizens & immigrants since Sept.
Nearly every time, the Trump admin blamed the injured and dead. Experts say this apparent lack of accountability demands that local authorities step up to investigate federal agents.
βAlmost all the 165 people killed in the attack were girls aged between seven and 12, according to local officials. There were around 170 girls at the school in southern Iranβs Minab at the time.β
A double-tap strike on little girls at school.
solidarity with my faculty colleagues in public higher ed in this state, now more than ever, who are being told what they can and cannot say in the classroom by a political party full of people who want to live in Nazi heaven and are happy to say so

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM
βNo front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.β www.columnblog.com/p/corporate-...
I initially thought that Joel was sharing an old news story because I didnβt realize that this is different from the New York/Arizona/Vermont/Arizona YOUNG Republican Nazi group chat.
In which @nataliekorach.bsky.social outlines the actions of the man the White House Correspondents Association has chosen to honor this year. www.status.news/p/donald-tru...
The secretary of Miami-Dade Countyβs GOP started a group chat for conservative students β and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"
We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trumpβs illegal war.
Also: Shit like this is why you need journalists in courtrooms. You wouldn't even know that this man exists from the court record or even the remote-access phone line.

Oliver takes a dump on the Schumer-led Democratic demands after Alex Prettiβs shooting β βmasks off, body cams onβ β noting the killers had fucking body cams on, that that footage exists, that it didnβt change shit, and that weβre likely never to see it b/c they were exonerated automatically.
That's right. You got no leg to stand on, Newsom supporters. Shut your hole. We don't need anti trans anti homeless greaseball shit. North Carolina is purple, it's not some blue stronghold.
NOTE
1 Pregnant because raped in custody
2 Moved to TX because the regime has anticipated a need to circumvent state laws regarding abortion, medical rights
3 the infants in question will likely be trafficked into evangelical adoption networks or be subject the consequences of a lack of medical care
had a death in the family and was almost completely off the internet for a few days & my observation is that there is too much happening too fast such that basic facts abt the world are difficult to ascertain unless you are mainlining info all the time & doing that seems to drive people insane
the state of public history, 2026:
with one eye on the Trump administration, NPS staff worries that describing the murder of an abolitionist "might denigrate the murderers"

If you are a client of a firm that folded in this fight, you should know that not only were they morally wrong, but they were also strategically dumb www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
This is important. New Yorkers, please sign up to testify. You can testify via Zoom.
"The President has authority to respond to imminent threats!"
"OK, was there one?"

I'd like you to observe the press pantomime that this is a normal media deal in a country with functioning regulators
It cannot be stressed enough how these Republicans donβt see government jobs as jobs at all. They see them as titles, no-show gigs where they can do whatever they want. Thatβs why οΏΌthey hated the people in those jobs before, they thought it was a scam because they donβt believe in doing the work.
"This only feels possible because the U.S. government is only interested in regulating its perceived political enemies, and which only feels possible because much of the American economy feels held together by cope and the gobs of money being thrown into AI, data centers, and gambling."
Mayor Quimby even allowed attempted murderer Sideshow Bob out of prison.
