DOOCY: It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans--
TRUMP: That's an easy problem compared to what we're doing here. What a stupid question that is to be asking at this time. We're talking about something else.
Even if you are lucky enough to have legal representation, which in immigration must be funded by yourself (or pro bono counsel) how do your lawyers rep you in this system? Not to mention how does your family find you? not due process
If we are being honest: Claude didn't do any of those things.
People USING Claude as an excuse for greed extraction are.
• Claude didn't choose to work for the military.
• Claude didn't build data centers.
• Claude didn't defund mental health.
• Claude didn't refuse security protocols.
Humans did.
Killing people should not be something we do quicker than the speed of thought
Truly inane.
Can you find flights that early?
A former associate dean told me that I’ll learn to have my best writing at 5-8am. I laughed it off. At my own peril.
unembarrassed enthusiasm about learning new things is genuinely the best way to live

For my contribution to #WomenWritersWeek at @ebertvoices.bsky.social I wrote a look back at the film industry 100 years ago – the arrival of synced sound, the death of Valentino, Gilbert and Garbo, and more – and what we might be able to glean from its storied history.

Now that Republicans have done Trump's bidding by blocking limits on his war powers, remember that in doing this, they are also relieving *themselves* of the obligation to vote on the enormously consequential decision of whether to go to war. Craven abdication.

And: "we had a very stupid and incompetent leader in this White House for four years who gave away many of our best weapons for nothing, for free, to another country very far away by the name of Ukraine."
Her name will live in infamy as one of the worst human beings to ever serve in the White House
NOEM: I would disagree with the judge
CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?
NOEM: A what?
CROCKETT: A law degree
NOEM: No I do no-
CROCKETT: Okay
a dedicated team of mostly volunteers created the Frances Perkins Center in 2009, to preserve her legacy. because of SO much of their work, Biden designated it a national monument in 2024. good morning from the archives at Columbia with their team working on a digital portal project (1/3)
This Day in Labor History: March 4, 1933. The newly inaugurated president Franklin Delano Roosevelt nominated Frances Perkins as Secretary of Labor. This first female cabinet member in American history was an amazing fighter for the working class and let's talk about her!!!!!
so we’re just calling it “the war” now?
As a typographer and former proofreader.
This is amazing. Amazing.
I was so distressed by the unnecessary comma in "December, 2022," and the unnecessarily capitalized "Presidential," and I might throw in the immediately following unnecessary hyphen, that I didn't, till my third read, see the Main Event.
My faith in the world has been shaken @bcdreyer.social

There was a concept of a plan, I'm sure.
Rubio screwed up Sunday by saying the quiet part out loud. Then shit hit the fan - especially with MAGA. It caused problems for Netanyahu. Now he’s trying to say that what he said he didn’t really say. It’s on video. He said what he said. Now he’s lying. bsky.app/profile/acyn...
But somebody said!
The New York Congressional district case is astonishing, for the reasons Sotomayor laid out and that Vladek explains fully here. The court doesn't have jurisdiction over a state law dispute before appeals within the state system have been completed!
JD VANCE: "There's just no way Trump is gonna about this country to get into a multiyear conflict with no end in sight"
TRUMP HOURS LATER: "Wars can be fought 'forever,' and very successfully"
fuck, I’m sorry, I can’t compete with this
