Every semester I taught sociology, my students told me I ruined TV. I was unrepentent.

I don't actually care if they used AI to target that girls school, I care that everyone involved down to the very bottom of the chain of command gets publicly hanged for it
It's not that what is happening is impossible to explain, so much as that many people- having been thoroughly indoctrinated into holding certain false ideas- find the reality impossible to believe.
You did a bog standard descent into fascism due to rising inequality.... what the fuck do you think was so special
Naw, dude.
Historians will definitely be able to explain how this was possible. Just ask us. We can probably do it now, if you like.
βNo historical precedentβ
Historians:
Historians are quite capable of explaining the hellscape that is the US at this particular minute, and its kind of telling that you imagine we won't because it means you haven't been listening or reading
iβm not a historian but you know, i was married to one for over 20 years, and if there is one thing I have learned from spending time among historians (and reading the books theyβve recommended to me) itβs that historians know how to contextualize basically everything
Epic cat facial expression ππ
Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.
Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

For all we know, Burkeβs 18th century tastebuds would be so stunned by the taste of Starbucksβ coked out novelty drinks that he *would* deem them examples of the sublime.
Counterpoint: Whole Foods is owned by Amazon and Bezos and stealing from a company that underpays it's workers and forces drivers to piss in bottles and giving the finger to the guy who sank the WaPo is fine with me
will remember jay as the person who deleted lexi alexander and link, worked hard to cut palestinians off from their one chance at survival, ignored the ongoing abuse of Black and trans users, and then when confronted about the whole thing said 'waffles'. and for that fugly no caesars shirt.
Oh wow, I forgot that the show had Kathy Bates in it! She was the draw but Fred Willard was the heart of it. www.abouttheartists.com/productions/...
Trumpet Of The Swan was my FAVORITE book as a kid and still ranks. I saw a table reading of it at The Kennedy Center like 15 years ago and it was still magical. As a devoted bird nerd, I am excited for NYers who are getting this visitor!
I didn't know this about NYC and the swans. I guess that's why EB White had his hero Louis go to Boston instead?
LOUIS!! π
This is to say: if you're an attorney who's hesitated to take on habeas cases because you think you lack the knowledge, or you're worried about whether you'll really help, I PROMISE you can make a difference. I'm just a dipshit with a 7-year-old laptop and a bad attitude. If I can do it, so can you.
This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
It can still be exciting to spot women in the wilds of male-dominated professions, I get it!
(I do realize that woman pastors are just pastors and have been around in many religions for a long time. I'm just a recovering Catholic so it still makes my personal list.)
so gambling companies are kosher, but god forbid the Hawks do a one-night partnership with the legendary hometown club that gave us everyone from Tag Team to DJ Esco

Parents and grandparents of trans youth, plus their therapists and medical providers, are fed up after years of health care bans and hostile rhetoric. Those feelings are driving them to do things theyβve never done before β like plan to get arrested at a protest.
We are grateful to the affirming family members of trans kids that took action with us ππ³οΈββ§οΈ
I had to explain how the atrocities being done to the people of Minneapolis by agents of the federal government have so appalled and angered the church people there that the entire national church is now (apparently) radicalized (complimentary).
So my kid's LGBTQ+ youth chorus sang as guests at "the wokest church ever" this weekend: painting of the nativity as Gazan refugees, giving out copies of a "rad women" book, prayers for Iran and Palestine, sermon against ICE, woman pastors, the whole nine.
Beloveds, they were Lutherans. LUTHERANS.
