We unplugged from the world that made us. Been here and there. Stood on a corner in Winslow Arizona. Ended up back where I started. Internalized battle of Ying & Yang. Spent a lifetime masking.

New in PN: @anneapplebaum.bsky.social on Trump's betrayal of Europe

"They’re bewildered we’ve allowed this to happen. And yes, you do hear Europeans saying, 'why aren’t people protesting?' This all comes as a real shock to people who had a different expectation of what America was."

Two of my favorites in conversation about something that’s really not my favorite : Florida taking the lead on censoring instruction on race & upholding white supremacy.

@grundrza.bsky.social is also great on the chilling effect this censorship in Florida is having on classes. The haphazard and random nature of who gets targeted is designed to make everyone terrified.

Makes me proud to have been a sociology major.
I do want to shout-out my fellow sociologists, who have collectively created a discipline so woke that not a single one of our introductory textbooks can make it past Florida's censors.

Great work everyone.

Anti-war movement has wanted the military ties cut from high education since the 60s. At least that was my impression.

I reject every current argument for why we "need ICE."

No...we don't. That's bullshit. What we need...is someone who respects the United States Constitution in the White House.

TrumpRx supposedly helps people pay less for prescription drugs.

In reality, it sends users to pharma giants’ websites, where they can pay out of pocket for certain medications.

One company that could benefit? BlinkRx, which has Donald Trump, Jr. on its board.

Funny how that works.

Stoned again as is my evening ritual. Listening to music and here’s the fucking kicker. I’m listening to AI music. Not proud of listening to it, but of course I had to check it out sadly, the blues stuff that I was listening to today and even the breaking rust country has a very hypnotic effect.

In a democracy, we are supposed to feel like we have control over our lives because the people control the government.

But in the U.S., people feel like our lives are out of control because the people don’t control the federal government.

For far too long, families have been forced into impossible choices—between raising their kids, pursuing their careers, and affording to stay in New York City. It doesn’t have to be this way. And under our administration, it won’t be.

Yesterday, alongside New York’s Cutest, I was proud to announce a major step forward for early childhood education in our city. We’re officially launching 2-K and expanding 3-K by opening a request for new providers ready to help deliver these essential services.
