They provide much of the staffing in rural and underserved areas, and in areas of medicine that are often shunned by U.S.-trained physicians, like primary care, psychiatry and pediatrics.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/h...

Commercial hand block printing has mostly disappeared from Western Europe bc it's too laborious and thus expensive. But the craft lives on in India. You can find Indian block printed clothes from Kartik Research, Kardo, Harago, 11.11/eleven eleven, and 18 East — if you can put up with the tariffs.

Donald Trump Seems Intent on Sabotaging US Dominance
By clinging to American primacy through force and intimidation, Donald Trump is, ironically, undermining US global power. A saboteur trying to subvert US interests from the inside could hardly do better than what he’s accomplished through sheer incompetence.

In 2024, the EU spent an estimated €21.9 billion on Russian oil and gas.
China’s trade with Russia is over $240 billion.
So, if we’re being honest about who de facto helps to fund the war, India should not be singled out.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies.

They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

In November, I wrote "The most important thing about the election is not that Trump was proclaimed the winner, but that he was allowed to run."

The war chat is a case in point. Trump violated national security for an entire term. He and his cohort then faced NO CONSEQUENCES in the four years after.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night.

800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream.

There is a movement to be harnessed here.

let me say that this is the classic “just asking questions” approach to delegitimizing the achievements of black people. and critically, you don’t even have to be a black person who talks about race. simply being black to these people means you are “obsessed with race.”
Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story.

Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver.

This is what "merit" means to them.
