Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

I'll start: @ravenscimaven.bsky.social should share about PRI's need for donations before the end of the year because it is a center of science communication, teacher education, and science outreach, especially for Earth and climate science, and they are based in NY www.priweb.org/learn-and-te...

Remembering and Forgetting in Gettysburg
Frederick Douglass was unambiguous about the moral stakes of the American Civil War.

As "agents of the state," what exactly are public school educators allowed to do - or not do- when ICE comes calling?

So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."

Ok, Gov. Hochul, your turn.
Some more details:
-a 1-time, 5% wealth tax on billionaires currently living in the state
-affects around 200 people
-moving won't matter; based on 2025 residency
-billionaires earn 7.5%/yr, they'd still come out ahead
-yields enough to cover the Medicaid gap for 5 years & have some $ left for K-12
California is readying a one-time 5% tax on billionaires for the 2026 ballot that would go toward compensating for Trump's Medicaid cuts. The architects see it as a national model.
It will be announced today.
