Wait, what the fuck?
These orgs applied for and received grants from the government, and now, because this administration chooses to pretend climate change doesn’t exist, they’re going to be accused of FRAUD? For work already done and paid for as the government directed?

Outraged by Jan 6, he spent two years getting inside the top ranks of militias like the Oath Keepers. He was stunningly successful. He penetrated a new generation of militia leaders, which included doctors, cops & government attorneys.

1) Make sure the catch container is in place before you turn on the coffee grinder and step away to do something else.
2) If you need to unplug the grinder to finish cleaning up a pile of ground coffee while what you saved is brewing, don't unplug the coffee-maker instead.

The 2024 "music evolution" playlist Spotify generated for me has the 71-minute organ piece Schlingen-Blangen by Charlemagne Palestine as the second song. It's a fascinating piece, but I'm thinking I might skip it more often than not.

No, Kamala Harris did not lose because of her supposed embrace of “identity politics.” Just the reverse is true: Donald Trump won because of his very real embrace of identity politics. White identity politics.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.
His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night.
We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is.
It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump.
