My parents have spent the last 2 years as our church’s ambassadors to the EU and other dignitaries in the area, and as I have learned more about those serving in EU Parliament, I am not surprised in the slightest that Metsola made the right call.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola rejected a bid by right-wing factions to hold a minute of silence today for slain US conservative influencer Charlie Kirk.

Ms. Atwood is right about many things, including this.
I do legit forget that I'm an adult sometimes.
Kinda sad sometimes.
I still wanna think about what I want to be when I grow up.

We’ve reached the “building concentration camps and funding secret police to arrest enemies of the regime” phase of America fascism.
It would be super useful if the nominal opposition party would say that to the American people!

It’s not often that I think a video of Ted Cruz and Tucker Carlson is worth watching.
WATCH: “You’re a U.S. senator and you don’t know anything about the country you want to topple.”

We devote musicals, miniseries, and documentaries to the founders of our first republic and not to those of our second, who saw this country with clear eyes.
We need fewer encomiums for Jefferson, Madison, and Lafayette. More respect for Sumner, Stevens, Bingham and Douglass (Frederick).

Which founders? The founders of our second founding, those who drafted and ratified the 14th Amendment did.
That’s why they drafted Sec. 2 that would punish states that engaged in voter suppression and Sec. 3 that bars insurrectionists from serving in state or federal govt.

This is the sort of SCOTUS news I need. Better late than never, eh?
It is SO unusual for the Supreme Court to issue an order this late at night and honestly incredible only Thomas and Alito noted their dissents.
Also fascinating that SCOTUS rushed out the order before Alito could finish writing his dissent. That basically never happens! Again—majority seems pissed.

Anecdata like this are my favorite. 📚
being an indie bookseller in the helltimes has felt both very stable and very stabilizing, and part of me wishes everyone could be on my side of the counter for a little while, because I think it would help some of you be a little less cynical and doomy right now. so here is my VERY anecdotal data:

In late-1855 to early-1856, during a fight over House Speaker, northern congressmen stood their ground & refused further concessions to the slave power. The gov halted for 2 months. It was the first sign of an organized antislavery congressional spine.
What Schumer did today is the exact opposite.
