We may be well-meaning losers with too many projects, but there is a small rebellion to be had in making things

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Wow. Turns out that the Minnesota shooter Vance Boelter was an evangelical Christian who, per his website, "sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer."
Does this now make him a “militant Christianist?”

I have a lot of issues with Gavin Newsom but he is calling out Trump in a way other major leaders aren’t and if he causes Trump to have a stroke I will buy him a latte
NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in Supreme Court history.
It's allowed billionaires to completely take over our politics and destroy our democracy.
There are days when we are reminded just how pernicious that ruling was.
Today is one of those days.

Raniero Mancinelli, 86, has been a tailor for about 70 years. He made the robes that welcomed the Pope today. You can read about him in the National Catholic Reporter (check the links in the IG handles below).

I honestly think the fact that a lot of conservative kids go off to college (even conservative ones!) and come back liberal or further left, plays into their hatred of higher ed.

Anti-intellectualism often starts in childhood. "Smart" kids are favored by teachers but often bullied / denigrated by frenemies with lower grades. And on and on, resentments building over the years. Now mobilized at the national level.

Yep. The churches see universities as competition for the minds of the young. They want to own all education.

I do not think people are actually seriously calibrated for how rabidly anti-university the MAGA right is and how core that is to their policy goals. It is probably the #2 issue after immigration for them, and for some of them it’s higher.

Private equity also robs us of things like… my son’s psychiatric NP, who quit the profession after PE took over her medical office and made working there untenable
Apparently they are also why the vet costs us $800 a pop too

Nice editorial here about private equity and how it robs us of even the small treats and nice gestures that build up companies in capitalism. Nothing can be nice anymore and it sucks! I hate it! We’re all waiting to be ransacked!
Thanks to investors at Elliott Investment Management, the Southwest Airlines of today is just as soulless as its competitors.

Noem on Harvard: "Today, I sent them a letter that said they will no longer be allowed to participate in this student exchange visitor program, and that's up to 27% of their enrolled students. So it's significant."

This is some authoritarian shit. Noem said since Harvard won’t give her disciplinary records on students, she’s terminating their foreign exchange student program immediately, and ordered that foreign students must transfer to other schools or have visas revoked.

House Republicans don't want you to know they just passed a bill that makes health care MORE expensive and kicks MILLIONS off Medicaid, all to pass tax cuts for billionaires & giant corporations.
We need to make sure America knows.
And we need to kill this bill in the Senate.
