Thankful for @raycast.com so I get to use best of AI/Claude with Arc (or Safari) and avoid this cringey app 👇
Makes me sick, truly
This is a goddamn nightmare.
Judge Mark Wolf resigned from the federal bench after nearly 40 years. Not because he was tired. Because staying silent became intolerable.
I wrote about why his decision matters.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

If you've never visited Czechia, I highly recommend it. And if you've been there, you know what I mean. I miss the country and its people every day. It will always be my second home. Vždy to bude můj druhý domov. www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/top...
To my friends in tech. You went into tech/startup land to change the world for the better. So stop bending the knee, dust yourself off and speak out.
Be brave. We need all of you.
The Václav Havel Library is one of Czechia’s great democratic institutions. Under Tomáš Sedláček’s leadership, it keeps Havel’s voice alive and creates space for the conversations the world needs right now

“We cannot claim to care about democracy only when it costs nothing. Pres Trump, like Mr. Orban, no doubt believes that everyone can be bought. America’s elites are proving him right. There is a Hungarian phrase I heard often: “Van az a penz”— “There’s always a price” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/23/o...

The Trump admin just fired over 1,300 people at the State Dept. It is wrong & makes America less safe. These are patriots who served w/courage, integrity & deep commitment to our country. I am profoundly grateful for their service. They deserve far better than this.

Fulbright works. I saw it firsthand in Czechia. This week’s board resignations are another blow to a program that builds trust, not politics.
My thoughts here bijansabet.com/2025/06/12/t...
Having witnessed democratic resilience in Central Europe, I'm encouraged by Kenneth Roth’s assessment: Trump's shock and awe is giving way to institutional resistance. Courts, Congress, civil society are responding. Resistance is working.
