The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

Wow, we're a mere 5 weeks away from Sir David Attenborough's centenary and 12.5 weeks from Mel Brooks's. A collaboration that never existed but I would possibly watch.

Search-and-rescue crews were “flying blind” trying to rescue survivors from deadly tornadoes that hit the Midwest last week. Why? Because Kristi Noem hadn't approved FEMA’s $200,000 contract with a tornado-tracking tool. But she had time to spend $220 million on anti-immigrant ads. Priorities.

It was a US strike that killed 165 schoolgirls. Mostly aged 7-12. While it was likely unintentional, the decision to strike a military target in a densely populated civilian area was not. Yes, difficult decisions have to be made in war. I don’t trust this bloodthirsty regime to make good ones.

I think the collapse of print newspapers and the end of linear TV habits has created a context collapse for news. Where once day to day reporting and investigation and lifestyle sat side by side in one package, now they live as seperate things in people's minds, with reality warping effects

i think jesse jackson was one of the most important american political figures of the post-war era and i think that his 1984 and 1988 campaigns for the democratic nomination still have a great deal to teach about forging a path to a more egalitarian world. RIP.

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl news.wisc.edu/pop-star-bad...

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one.
Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell Meléndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album “DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS.”

Nancy Mace claiming she doesn't drink alcohol might be the funniest, most brazen lie she's told to date. The woman drank so much she'd have interns or junior staff run to Congressional Liquor during the work day so she could imbibe during telephone town halls.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

NEW Statement from the family of Alex Pretti:
Statement from the family of Alex Pretti: 

"We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the hero term lightly. However his last thought and act was to protect a woman.

The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He has his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man.”

Tonight's 🎥: Sunset Boulevard (1950, dir. Billy Wilder). The best film about films ever made? Undoubtedly. One of the all-time great movies, stuffed with an embarrassment of riches, from the writing to performances to production design, cinematography and direction. Savage, melancholy, brilliant.
Poster for Sunset Boulevard shows Norma Desmond's face against a red background, Joe and Betty hovering below her looking up like she's a monster. The name of the film is written in film strip that is tied in a knot. The tagine reads 'A Hollywood story'.

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.
