The lingering fear of a Wood Sprite may be measured in the special treatment its former home tree receives even when it has been vacated. At Panstone Green, the old residence of John-of-the-Whips is still given appeasements, receives parish council support. Terror tarries. – Dr. M. Benn

Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."

This is a good idea. A daily Democratic press conference with a consistent, skilled spokesperson who covers two things:
1. What DOGE and the Trump administration did to the American people today
2. What Democrats are doing in response

I firmly believe @petebuttigieg.bsky.social should lead a daily press conference. We are in desperate need of simple, unified messaging
Waging a procedural war and an information war will at least delay — and possibly prevent — an actual war. I don't get why Democratic leaders don't see the necessity here.

The real MeToo “cancel culture” was what happened to the women and other victims who came forward. They were retraumatized, harassed, humiliated, sued, fired, and blacklisted. Then they were the subject of a revisionist history that MeToo went “too far” and deserved a reactionary backlash

If the president can ignore court orders and illegally circumvent, Congress, there is no Constitution. It’s gone. There’s no enumerated right that the president can’t take from you, no law Congress can pass that is binding, and no court that can protect you from any of it. It’s the whole ballgame.

Gestures vaguely at @brooklynmarie.bsky.social to beg for another breakdown of misinformation vs disinformation and the 'counter' versions of each. I want to make an info graphic of this. Feels like a 4 circle venn though 😮💨
This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.
