There is not a man on this earth that should feel they need to apologize for getting emotional over such a thing. It’s human, and many of us cry right along with him.

Donald Trump is a monster who is trying to destroy America's humanity, decency, and our inalienable rights.
Donald Trump is not right in the head. This American citizen in New Jersey speaks for all of us in the decent majority.

"Before the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, the consensus among Western military analysts was that it would be a cakewalk." War continues to defy expectations. ICYMI @gabeschoenfeld.bsky.social reviews Phillips Payson O’Brien's "War and Power":

I wrote about something I've been thinking about for a long time. A kind of post-ironic collapse in our politics and culture where nihilism has become the lingua franca of the internet and beyond. It links Kirk, Clavicular, Epstein, memestock/coin stuff, mass shooters. I hope you'll read it.

Pretty sure this qualifies as a constitutional crisis. If the executive can just ignore the courts, then what’s left?
NEW: Hundreds of judges around the country have ruled more than 4,400 times since October that President Donald Trump’s administration is detaining immigrants unlawfully, a Reuters review of court records found.
The government keeps doing it nonetheless.

This was wonderful. Ross Gay, building on something Aimee Nezhukumatahil said about how much of trees are underground, said:"That's one of the precious things about elders, too. That they're more conscious of the underground by virtue of being closer to it." I am feeling that in myself.
