Maybe Don’t ‘Both Sides’ Disappearing People To Foreign Gulags, OK?
Intellectuals on the right and left are rejecting Trump’s attacks on due process. Insisting on “balance” just props up authoritarianism.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

Hitler’s rise to power shows how a country with a functional, if flawed, democratic machinery handed absolute power over to someone whom the conservative political class regarded as a chaotic clown with a violent following.

Decided to spend the afternoon reading at The 1894 wine bar inside of @vromansbookstore.bsky.social. Only problem is their music selection is so damn good lol. Also, just picked up this book, “Old School Indian” by Aaron John Curtis and I’m loving it. It’s funny and sad at the same time.

Thanks to my friend Harriet for pointing out that the women went to Christ's tomb and saw he was not there, the angels showed up to describe what happened, & the women then told the apostles, who dismissed them. A Biblical account of women not being believed.

Do clients really want to hire a law firm known for how quickly it rolls over? Yet, now this is Paul Weiss's well deserved reputation.
Jim Cramer on CNBC said that the White House may think that "you can roll China like you rolled Paul Weiss."
whelp.

Justice Sotomayor, writing in today's deportation case. How many times must she write, "With fear for our democracy, I dissent," before Republicans get the point? Perhaps only when, as the poem goes, they come for them.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

I've been thinking a lot about that bumper sticker which says "everything looks like a conspiracy theory when you don't understand how anything works" and folks it's pretty obvious to me that the people in power right now have absolutely no desire to understand how anything works.

Almost forgot to enjoy my favorite flowers in bloom! The Pink Magnolia blooms are already starting to fall from the trees but still my favorite winter flower. I fell in love with this kind of magnolia bc they looked so gorgeous in front of Honnold Mudd Library @ Claremont Colleges. Enjoy!
