It must be nice to think this way. WHY did DJT win twice if he’s so problematic? Maybe there’s something he’s bringing out in our population that is the real problem? Something we need to confront rather than placing the blame on one person who’s really an avatar? Ugh.

Another example of how this bigot can be influenced specifically by white people pushing back, which highlights that the current state of the country is not inevitable, but rather being allowed to happen by that same population.

Gift article: some big donors to the White House ballroom were hoping their names and dollar amounts wouldn’t get out.

Secret documents reveal donors behind $330 million for Trump’s ballroom
The records offer a panoramic view of a fundraising campaign that is extraordinary for its size and opacity.

👇🎯 This. People still haven't internalized that structural things are structural & Harris did not do poorly & it's almost entirely certain that no one else would have done better, not least because she & Biden were the only Dems overwhelmingly favored by Black voters in 2024 (as she likely is now).

if you're not Jewish you might not be familiar with Hillel, its the largest Jewish student organization in the US, it helps Jewish students meet and also celebrate holidays away from home (since we don't get our holidays off)

Professors in the Texas A&M system have had to strip their syllabi too. According to an ACLU lawsuit, last January, Aaron George, a professor at Tarleton State University, was told by administrators to remove A Gay Manifesto, a Stonewall-era LGBTQ-rights pamphlet, and ****White Flight, a history of urban segregation****, from his American-political-history course. After a student complained that a different class the professor taught violated university policy, George was informed by administrators that it would be canceled if he did not make “necessary” (but unspecified) changes. He cut a reference in the course description to the significance of the Fourteenth Amendment for LGBTQ rights, and the class was allowed to proceed.Leo DiCaprio pointing at himself meme

All of this. I know that there's a surfeit of bad news and Trumpian horrors, but sanctioning the ICC is an outrage that deserves our attention even with so much else vying for it.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

This is, more generally, a super cool thing I recommend trying when you have a free afternoon. It’s a Dog Library, except you don’t even need a card. Just show up and check out a dog. They’ll give you a bottle of water & some treats, even. bvspca.org/shelter-skip...

Help a dog in need by giving it a day out. Brandywine Valley SPCA's Shelter Skip Day program is open to the public.

A year or two ago, Gannett was advertising heavily on LinkedIn for AI reporter roles, described as a reporter that would use AI to assemble large numbers of stories with fast turnover. I didn’t apply. Worth reading the whole thread here.
