I was a history teacher and I know we have to be documenting this moment. When we look back, I don’t want us to say we didn’t know what was happening.
Stephen Miller, probably the most joyless man in America, wants to take away one of our most foundational rights, habeas corpus.

A Georgia mother is being forced to keep her brain-dead daughter alive because she’s pregnant and Georgia’s abortion laws are archaic.
They’re forcing the family to pay to keep this woman alive — with an unviable baby — against their will.

Is the University Of Austin Betraying Its Founding Principles?
Created as a haven for free thinkers, UATX was the last place where I’d expected to encounter ideological litmus tests.

GOP budget talks are breaking down because they can’t agree on legislation that starts killing their voters immediately or delays it until 2029, when a different president will take the fall for it.
The impasse is over timing. Not the crime.

Your average person doesn’t read Supreme Court (or any court) decisions. And the ones who do are typically other lawyers, who will parse the text very carefully. So who, exactly, is Alito trying to fool with his misleading dissent? Is it supposed to be fodder for Fox News? For Martha? Self-delusion?

Excellent article by @blakeshaffer.bsky.social . "The story of Canada’s east-west power grid is about more than just electricity. It’s about national identity, economic security and environmental leadership."
It's always been part of the national vision.
The barriers are still there, waiting to be overcome.
But the benefits---and urgency---have grown.
Forget America; it's time to build the east-west power grid.

For decades, we've prioritized electrical trade with the United States. It's time to reduce our dependence on them.

If Rational Arguments no longer work in US governance, it’s evidence of a deeper problem in our educational system, which favors what to know over how to think — how to critically analyze, process, & verify information.
Seems like a bad time to reduce funding for Public Education.
