Q: Do you plan to attend Sarah's funeral?
TRUMP: I haven't thought about it yet, but it's certainly something I can conceive of. I love West Virginia. You know, I won West Virginia by one of the biggest margins of any president anywhere.

Really loved this article on close reading. The art of noticing, and of crafting an argument, is how we begin to inoculate ourselves from so many societal and intellectual ills, especially in a world where disinformation, toxic algorithms, and slop vie for our limited time and attention.
I wrote an essay for @bostonreview.bsky.social about what I learned about close reading when I taught at West Virginia University

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
