This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY.

And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon.

And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...

This week’s main story is about the Alliance Defending Freedom, the landmark Supreme Court cases they’ve been behind, and how obsessed they are with the word “winsome.” It’s inexplicable. They could just say “appealing” but no. It’s winsome this, winsome that. Absolutely baffling stuff. You’ll see.

We must keep working to defund billionaires and support local businesses. I’ve given way too much money to Amazon for ebooks.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Know your rights. Pass these around…

I think of this video often. We shouldn’t be fighting the same fight. Waiting for comfort and decorum isn’t the way. Progress happens when you don’t stop.

Highly recommend this outstanding exploration by @barbmcquade.bsky.social of how our democracy is being dismantled from the inside. I only wish that the people who need to know these things would be willing to learn them. (I also wish I could divest from Amazon, but one miracle at a time.)
