"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps.
This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped"

Not a bad time to read Applebaum’s classic history of the Gulag, Alexopoulos’s convincing interpretation of the Soviet camp system ("Illness and Inhumanity"), or Julius Margolin’s extraordinary memoir "Journey to the Land of the Zeks and Back."
Reposting my review of Nikolaus Wachsmann’s superb history of the German concentration camp system, "KL." It’s a good time to read this book.

this company swindled the media into telling us that it had used the technology from Jurassic Park to create a creature from Game of Thrones, and @jessimckenzi.bsky.social has done the work to show us how they did it and what it means in the best piece of shortform journalism I've read this year
"The result of Colossal’s extensive and carefully constructed promotion was a series of detail-rich feature stories that prominently repeated Colossal’s claims with virtually no pushback from outside experts." Glad to see @jessimckenzi.bsky.social digging into the media side of things specifically.
Dire wolf, or Colossal misrepresentation?
A biotechnology company called Colossal Biosciences claims to have resurrected the dire wolf, a species that went extinct over 10,000 years ago.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax.
Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money.
As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1￠, no one should have to pay to vote.
