Neolithic Portal Tomb at Pournabrone, County Galway, The Burran, #Ireland. 🇮🇪. The Celts believed these (much earlier) tombs were portals to the underworld, and used by fairies to pass between realms. #neolithic #Irish #archeology

Jak Malone’s Tony Award was well deserved. “Dear Bill” is among the most touching songs I’ve ever heard in the theater. (Possibly only second to Sondheim’s “Not while I’m around?” #NYTheatre #TheatreSky

This is insane: US Sen Alex Padilla is wrestled to the ground, detained at a press conference with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem simply for asking legitimate questions about the protestor’s 1st Amendment rights. #Fascism
Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.

Truly appalling, London’s Metropolitan Police smash down the door of the Quaker Meeting in St Martin’s Lane in London to arrest six women planning a non violent protest about climate change and Gaza. This hits close to home - I attend this meeting when I’m in the UK. www.thetimes.com/uk/society/a...

This is entirely accurate: at the core of #Trump’s distorted framing of #DEI is the deeply racist notion that any outcome that doesn’t automatically prioritize white people is itself #racist.
I’m struck by the Trump administration’s attempt to redefine equality as discrimination against white people. This is a deeply racist idea that *equal outcomes* must be unfair, assuming white people are naturally at the top of the hierarchy.

Concrete things we can do, as well as tools to #resist the (by design) #overwhelm many of us are feeling at the relentless onslaught on the Constitution, human decency, and the post World War II value system of collective security, economic cooperation, and the promotion of #democratic values.
Today, I discuss two topics (and three more tomorrow!)
TODAY, MARCH 3RD:
1. (Public) The poor treatment of federal employees and what can be done about it.
2. (Paid) How to Stop Elon Musk? —Breaking down the legal battles and challenges ahead.

I just realized that one of the things I love most about the Academy Awards is the chance to see people experience one of the most exciting moments of their lives. Joy is a lovely thing in a world that feels so broken. #Oscars #AcademyAwards

RFK is already making life saving vaccines less available. There may be no flu shot available next year due to his malfeasance and incompetence.
It looks like there is a good possibility that the U.S. will not have flu shots for Fall 2025.
People will die because Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cannot admit he has been lying about vaccines for two decades. People will die because the Republicans in the Senate are vile, power-drunk cowards.
