You’re not alone.
But they aren’t coming.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.
He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.
(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

In 2020 I judged an award and the project Nos están marcando stood out.
Powerful piece on Chilean officers purposely blinding people with non-lethals (essentially marking them permanently).
I’ve been thinking of that project recently because it is happening here.

GOP: We are sending armed perverts to assault families. Even babies. We are in open warfare against all things good.
Schumer: People call him TACO, but these days it's getting hard to afford one! Can you chip in $5 today to help us hold Mr. Trump accountable for these soft shell economic policies?

If I ran a small business that sells it, I would edit a teaser video that ends with “Shawarma Will Return In Avengers: Doomsday”

The FBI invaded @washingtonpost.com reporter's home, taking her devices & more, supposedly related to investigation of a gov't worker. Maybe? But: this reporter was THE go-to covering what is happening inside the White House & fed govt, making this a likely shakedown to chill her & other reporters.

I was teaching all day yesterday and missed the Ford employee exchange with the president.
The American president said “fuck you” and flipped off a citizen… that is insane.

@maryharris.bsky.social I had been on the fence about affording Slate+ plus but I really want to hear your speech and today’s insane ICE recruitment story.
Is there a way I can sign up that benefits the podcast?

A few months ago, ICE hired me
I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable
And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.
What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

Man, bribing a baby with a participation award really works?
The Supreme Court sets aside lower court decisions upholding convictions for bribery related to the FIFA scandal because the Trump administration decided to dismiss those criminal cases "in the interests of justice." The FIFA prosecution ends in a whimper. www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...
