If only the White House press release describing NPR as "the trash that passes for news" were critiquing NPR for the right reasons, I mean NPR has moved so far to the right that it's nearly indistinguishable from corporate crap but only KKK 24/7 would please this administration.

This McPherson quote has never left me since I read “Gold Coast” in Best Am Short Stories of the Century like two decades ago. I was once curious about it and now can confirm it’s very true.

Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life? Just realized what is covered up is the terrifying threat of one being unable to sail, to handle. What does it mean to surrender

My heart is so full over what Brother Cory @booker.senate.gov has done. The symbolism of it—breaking Strom Thurmond’s record. The physical resilience. The intellectual imagination. The love for our nation.
For the first time in 2 months, I’m allowing myself a bit of hope instead of despair.

I have long said that we cannot trust the government to have the power to kill as a punishment. Now, we have an administration that will undoubtedly be eager to prove my point.

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

This is why they hate DEI. The Senate has confirmed John Phelan, an investment banker and Trump supporter with no military experience, to be Secretary of the Navy.

The media mostly takes for granted that some attacks are in bad faith, e.g. on judges and the media itself. In other cases (civil service and especially higher ed) they are more willing to adopt Trump's framing that he is responding to institutional failings, rather than using them as an excuse.
