we need a name for all the prominent 'thought leaders' who have been exposed as pedophiles and I'd like to suggest "dipshit gotterdammerung"
David Brooks writing about how there was nothing to see with the Epstein Files while not disclosing *he was in them* is at least a Nuzzi-level journalistic scandal

What I'm saying is, get ready to see a nude painting of David Brooks in the NYT within weeks

Keep going. Be meaner. Aim whatever lizard-brain impulse you have towards cruelty and violence in this direction.

So some whiny dude is trying to co-opt the Lost Generation, a term coined to describe a generation processing the unprecedented trauma of the First World War, to describe white dudes who might have to compete with women and:or minorities for a job and don’t like it?

Zohran: "I mean, think about when you fly.  We have made it such a difficult experience to go through TSA that there's now a financial incentive to sign up for a separate program that can move you through it quicker. We have monetized the dysfunction."

Opinion | Why should the FBI care about catching the Brown shooter? It's not like he killed a healthcare CEO or a right-wing influencer.

Chicago Police Chief Snelling needs to be grilled by all elected officials and journalists about why the *Hell* this is happening.

If he ordered it, if he allows it to go on, he must be replaced with someone who won't.
In Chicago, a man on Facebook Live was following the Border Patrol north on Lake Shore Drive. At the end of the drive, a bunch of city cop cars cut off the man who was following and live-streaming Border Patrol.

Working on a piece of fiction that basically reimagines part of the Oregon coast and cackling because I can call stuff Desolation Cove and Lonely Highway and Deadman's Hell... because the whole coast is like the Devil's Hole in the Ground, Disillusionment Point, Murderdeath Pothole, Cape Impalement.

there is no path forward without denazification of the United States government
They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz
Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

I know there’s a lot going on but man Ronald Reagan really did a number on this country.
Students from nine UC campuses plan to rally this week against a regents vote on tuition hikes, arguing possible increases make education more inaccessible. UC officials say changes will shield against inflation & make costs more predictable over time:

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

Xenophon once marched through the freezing snow to lead the Ten Thousand back to Greece. I think you can manage to go to a protest even if that means you get tear gassed and shot with pepper balls. It's sort of fun. It's also your civic duty.

Many on the left say that this weekend's No Kings protests represent the kind of forceful resistance to Trumpism that the country needs right now. But Zadie Zandonella-Stannard, who runs an artisanal toast pop-up in Fort Greene, says that such an approach leaves her deeply uneasy.

Ya this paradox unfortunately sums up a lot of American history. Progress without justice
John Brown also won, though
If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
