Pompeo supported a man who tried to overturn an election and destroy American democracy. This shows what the real threat it. It's not Trump and his authoritarianism; it's the acceptance of it.

What do you call the feeling of melancholy when something that would have been a huge scandal in any other administration breaks on a near daily basis?

This is why I get pissed off when anyone accuses me of being an elitist when I say young people should go to college if they can. I say that because my dad was a local lineman and contractor who did heavy physical labor for years and has had chronic back pain since his early 30s

Nicole is a leading expert on the issue of campus sexual violence. I am floored that USA Today would do this to her. I find this kind of journalistic behavior unethical and morally reprehensible, twisting an interview with a renowned advocate for survivors into a hit piece against a survivor.

Trump's lawlessness is more pressing, but let's not forget: the GWBush admin was also overflowing with incompetent, corrupt Republicans who were pathologically hostile to the rule of law. None of this was necessary or helpful, but it made them feel manly and it was good money for gov't contractors.
“A detainee who is shackled, transported to a former C.I.A. black site, and intentionally kept ignorant of both his right to remain silent and the inadmissibility of his prior coerced confessions, cannot be said to be making an ‘essentially free and unconstrained choice,’” he wrote.

Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.

We look to Brazil and South Korea as examples of democracies standing up to tyrants, but the fact is they’re 50/50 countries like the US. They could easily flip to the totalitarian side.

you almost have to admire the effective altruists for coming right out and saying “we feel a keen debt to the criminal who stole the money that provided seed funding for Manifund, which is why we’re hiring her and paying her with some of it instead of returning it to FTX creditors”

100% right. In-state college tuition was still reasonably priced back in 90s, before too many states decided to cut the subsidies that kept it low to do things like fund tax cuts for wealthy people.

Quite a few of us with Caribbean parents were raised by nurses with LPNs and RNs (my mom made a career of psychiatric nursing). Nursing doesn’t get mentioned often enough when it comes to physically-demanding jobs.
