Every accusation is a confession, or in this case a roadmap

Profspur is always an important read, even though my main "diversion" (watching and reading almost everything about Tottenham) from "reality" has also become painful.

The Most Chilling Detail in the U.S. Attack on an Iranian Naval Ship The Iranian warship was taking part in an international exercise with many other countries—including the United States.

This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

This is the regime Trump has been coddling in its efforts to take over another country.

Killing people is entertainment to the sociopaths in the White House. Decency demands that we resist this.

Nobody is going to save Spurs but these players. They have to start performing (Gift Article) The reality is that if the worst happens over the last 10 league games, it will mark the reputations of this group forever

A big sigh in retrospect this evening about the article I read this morning:

"Nobody is going to save Spurs but these players. They have to start performing" www.nytimes.com/athletic/708...

Shout out to the Fox News hack who tried to intimidate me by contacting my employer and writing a (terrible) hit piece when I posted “Abolishing ICE is the moderate position” after Renee Good’s killing.

Abolishing ICE is the moderate position.

Have they considered widespread electrification, loans and loan guarantees to solar and wind and nuclear projects, and somewhat robust vehicular mileage standards to compel more efficiency?

Is *the exact model of the IRA* under the rock, or is it just one rock with “Drill Baby Drill” written on it?

The whole country is Spartacus. Stephen Miller is furious. What Hilton v. Noem means for your right to document Trump's abuses.

What Hilton v. Noem means for your right to document Trump's abuses.

Trump, Democrats squabble over killing civilians in cold blood.

On this day in 1959, 21 Black teenagers burned to death in a building fire at a segregated and neglected “reform” school in Arkansas after being left alone and locked inside their dorm.

A lot of people say AI isn't very good for the world and its outputs are routinely unreliable, but these haters fail to see how it's revolutionizing how we incinerate schoolchildren.

I’ve spent years, decades, obsessing over the Bush Administration’s Iraq WMD lies, writing about them, debunking them.

I can think of no lie about Iraq WMDs told by Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld et al that comes even close to the enormity and absurdity of this lie from Donald Trump.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

Erin Maglaque · Never Known Heaven: Caravaggio’s Clothes Clothing, for Caravaggio, worked in the same way as his chiaroscuro, dramatising disclosure and reticence, attraction...

‘He invented what would later be called genre painting: an unhelpful term intended to encompass scenes of drinkers in taverns, card players, gypsies. But before this was a style it was Caravaggio.’

Trump picked Hegseth because he’s a Fox News addict who spent years watching Hegseth say dumb shit on the magic box. Fox also created Trump as a political figure. Thirty years in and there simply is no adequate liberal response to Fox.

"Liberty" University stays true to its noxious heritage re legal internships at Labor Department. They say: “You MUST be aligned politically with President Trump… GPA is not a strong factor.” And, of course, according to "Berkley Law Professor Catherine Fisk... [this] hiring process...was illegal."

All Trumpist fascists lie as they breathe. Constant lying is integral & essential to being a Trumpist fascist. They are anti-truth. Confronting them with undeniable truth does not deter them from lying, as they demonstrate every day.

What can Renaissance art and Howard Thurman tell us about the prodigal son? Insights about Jesus' parable from the great theologian Howard Thurman can enhance our appreciation of Dürer's "The Prodigal Son Among the Pigs" and the spiritual journey it can evoke.

This captures the gist of what we're doing in my class on Howard Thurman today: www.ncronline.org/culture/what...

Some things never change.

Indiana bill would eliminate ‘low earning’ degrees The proposal now heads to Republican Gov. Mike Braun’s desk and would take effect July 1 if he signs off on it.
