Todd Blanche now says "one-sided news" is a national security threat worth barring the press over. That's not a legal standard. It's a viewpoint test. I didn’t go to law school…and didn’t need to, to know that the First Amendment exists to STOP government from judging which coverage is balanced.

Skipping the 2026 vote because of cynicism is a luxury belief. It is the view of those who do not face ICE vans, dying lakes, or surveillance cameras tracking family to clinics. Your apathy is a comfort they cannot afford. #GetReadyToVote #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Years ago, soon after Jan 6, someone - possibly Ruth Ben-Ghiat - commented on right-wing rhetoric saying "this is genocidal language". As in, this is the language we see in history before truly awful things happen. I remember telling myself, you have to listen to the experts; it can happen here.

I don't understand why more people don't connect Trump calling Somalis "garbage" with the Hutus calling the Tutsis "cockroaches" and the Nazis calling the Jews "vermin." We know where it starts, and we know where it ends.

This is an insane detail in this report on cheating! nymag.com/intelligence...
In the meantime, many schools have turned to surveillance.
Owen, a junior at Princeton
familiar with its Honor Committee, says the school often catches AI cheats by spying on internet use. Students' browsing histories are pulled from the campus network and scanned for recent visits to ChatGPT or Claude. If you whipped out your phone during a quiz, accessing a model on the building's Wi-Fi, you will likely be busted. While every case requires multiple pieces of evidence, and Princeton says it does not pull students' search histories unless they are already under investigation, Owen says the network logs have become critical in proving academic dishonesty. Every case he's been aware of lately has leaned on them.

the president is now blacklisting companies by fiat. tell me more about how left-wing communism is the biggest threat to the country.
NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES! Their products aren’t good enough! Over 50% of their revenue comes from the United States — They live off American Buyers, American Companies, American Airports, and American Service — All while Canada blocks our GREAT American Banks, and Companies, throughout the U.S.A. They even blocked Gulfstream Aerospace from doing business in Canada — Completely unjust and unfair! That Era is OVER! If they want our Market, they must build here, and stop treating America like a “piggybank.” BUY AMERICAN. FLY ON AMERICAN AIRLINERS. ENJOY AMERICAN LIQUOR AND BEVERAGES. SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA. AMERICA FIRST! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

How Dolly Parton Unilaterally Fixed a Massive Flaw in American Education
The hundreds of millions of books she gave to kids weren’t just an impressive act of charity. They created a common reading list in a society that desperately needs one.

Do you want to know how popular school vouchers are? They have never won on a ballot. Not once. In any state. Ever. The only way states are able pass a school voucher scheme is behind closed doors. Legislatively. The people would never approve their tax dollars going to private religious schools.
