seems like a good time to remind people that Niemöller (the author of the confession memorialized in the "First they came for the Communists" poem) was a Hitler supporter, and made that confession after spending time in the Dachau concentration camp

What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.

i feel like a lot of friction that happens between leftists and liberals is due to a sort of terrible consistency that leftists get targeted first and try to share what they learned to help others stay safe and liberals deny the severity of the situation because it is psychologically very taxing

I spoke to Mitch McConnell for twenty minutes this morning. He said, in a weak but firm voice, “As-salamu alaykum, Brother Thrasher. Elaine brought me ‘The Overseer Class.’ Good stuff, but you are a touch too harsh on Clarence and Condi!”

The perversion of justice is perhaps the most dangerous thing happening under Trump. Morens is being targeted to throw red meat to the GOP base and to validate a conspiracy theory. This is a scandal worse than Watergate. Another one. But this demands swift accountability. Patel must go.

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

Bannon and Trump may have promoted the COVID lab leak but it was fueled by irresponsible journalism—folks looking for scandal and ignoring overwhelming evidence, probability, and expert consensus. I’m still mad about it.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Ten years ago today, in April 2016, the Boston Globe printed a satirical front page imagining a future Trump administration. The page was called "alarmist," "hyperbolic," "dystopian." But we’ve put up with so much since then it now looks like . . . a slow Thursday?

Boston Globe mock front page from April 9, 2016. Date says April 9, 2017, with giant headline “DEPORTATIONS TO BEGIN” and “Markets sink as trade war looms.”
