“A woman [Mrs. Eliza Powell] asks Dr. [Benjamin] Franklin well Doctor what have we got a republic or a monarchy? A republic replied the Doctor if you can keep it.”

I've been saying for the better part of a year that Trump is on a mission to decriminalize corruption. To make it the legal equivalent of jaywalking.

I feel that more strongly now than I ever had.

Review: Yes, we give you permission to hate-read 'American Canto'
Political journalist Olivia Nuzzi has dazzled the media with scandals, but her prose is less sparkling. Her much-anticipated new memoir is rife with arrogance and thin on sourcing.

Bryan Curtis @bryancurtis X.com A scene from American Canto. Olivia Nuzzi tries to visit the WWE Hall of Fame, only to discover that it is not a physical building. the chr bus and qui exi. sea she mo enc in abc ne Olivia Nuzzi time. Every lite thing seemed to matter. There was always somethin new to consider, or something to consider in a new way. In that spirit l called WWE headquarters. "Sorry; not possible," the receptionist said. "Not possible?" I asked. "Visiting would be impossible," she said. My eyes narrowed. I looked out the window of my newsroom, in the Frank Gehry building on the Hudson River that looked like a big blod of clacier ice. I did not like to be trapped anyplace, even somewhere| considered architecturally defensible, and I had wanted to escape today. Had been counting on this opportunity to escape. The news of the in-possibility of a visit to the Hall of Fame depressed me. "It's...private?" I asked. "There's no place to visit," the receptionist said. "No place?" I asked. "Right," she said. "It moved?" I asked. "No, it's, you know, an idea," she said. "An idea, the Hall of-" She cut in. "No hall. There's no hall, she said. "Then... what is it?" I asked. "It's an idea," she said. An idea. She had mentioned that already. "It doesn't exist?" I asked. "Well, it exists," she said. "Where?" I asked. "As an idea," she said. It was a place only in imagination.

It’s really the opposite, if you only get one side of the history (and many of us do) it is completely shocking to realize much of what you “know” isn’t true or isn’t the whole story, and many young jews feel a sense of betrayal over that bsky.app/profile/prem...

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

DHS’s post suggesting “if you help kick people out of the country you’ll be able to afford housing” is OG Nazism.
Two screenshots. Top is homeland security post saying “Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area.” The bottom is excerpt from a speech by Hitler in 1922 in which he says Adolf Hitler speech, 1922 8. WE DEMAND IMMEDIATE EXPULSION OF ALL JEWS WHO HAVE ENTERED GERMANY SINCE 1914, and of all those, too, who through trickery on the Stock Exchange or through other shady transactions have gained their wealth. 9. The housing scarcity must be relieved through energetic action; houses must be granted to those who deserve them. Eisner said in 1918 that we had no right to demand the return of our prisoners - he was only saying openly what all Jews were thinking. People who so think must feel how life tastes in a concentration camp! Extremes must be fought by extremes.

you gotta remember that from a conservative perspective, these programs are a failure. they don't want to reduce homelessness, they want to punish homeless people. they'd pay 10x as much for that happily

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.
