I was canvassing for Jackson in Maine last week. Met a whole lotta people who couldn’t wait to take Collins down. And that was before the Pro Publica report came out.

You have to admire a novel approach to old tropes. But yeah, blatantly antisemitic.

Also not the point but it’s remarkable to me that someone would marry him. Then again, as my mother used to say, “there’s someone for everyone.”

Have been so taken aback by this idea. Went to college in the 70s/early 80s myself and have a college student now (skipped a generation). How colleges view their mission today is utterly unrecognizable from how they viewed their mission then.

It’s #Caturday, Friday edition. Because who doesn’t need a cat photo right now?

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

During my interviews for residency some 30 years ago, the chairman of the department at a Harvard institution who had my application folder open on his lap (paper back then) looked at me, looked at his lap, then back at me and said, with furrowed brow, “you’re much better than your photo.”

We saw him perform when he was in his late 80s. He appeared very frail as he shuffled across the stage. Until he sat down and started to play. Then, you wouldn’t have know he wasn’t in his 30s.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Thanks. I also googled after I asked. She wrote a piece about how that statistic can be quite misleading. Which I will read tomorrow. www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/defaul...

We actually live within easy walking distance to a bird sanctuary. Birders come from all over the region to wait for rare migratory birds.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

Pay attention. Something dark might be coming. The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent. 1/ Here's what's happening.
