Colonoscopy prep. This time, none of that wretched liquid. Have you heard of the SuTab pills? It's new to me. It's gotta be better than the alternative, though. Wish me luck! 💊🚰

Finally! I finished watching #JackRyan season 4. I liked it and though I'm generally not a big fan of 6 episode seasons, this was a good way to wrap it up. Loved seeing all the actors once again. I'll probably watch it a few more times. 🤭

Yeah, it doesn’t seem like the NYT has given any coverage to the frat gang rape scandal at Cornell. Not as important as Oberlin’s banh mi or Harvard’s eating clubs I guess

Had bookmarked this and just now listened. Fantastic episode. The enslavement of Native Americans was based on *where* they were. They were on land that settler Americans wanted. It was qualitatively distinct from the enslavement of African Americans and those differences need to be understood.

The Home Rule Act gives DC residents the right to propose ballot initiatives and referenda. Today, the Council will vote on a bill to gut that right by imposing dozens of new restrictions, requirements, legal barriers, and delays to effectively block any initiative before it reaches your ballot.

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.
