By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference.
But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

Stupidity is not simply an absence of thought. It is a refusal to think
critically which makes it an insidious and self-perpetuating force.
In this sense stupidity is far more dangerous than ignorance because it closes the door to growth.

Eagles hit #1 today in 1975 with “Best Of My Love” — a track inspired by Henley’s breakup with a girlfriend.
“That was the period when there were all these great-looking girls who didn’t really want to have anything to do with us,” he said. “We were just scruffy new kids who had no calling card.”
