I have been banging this drum for decades! Yes, the Founders were the tainted products of a horrible society. This absolutely does not negate the fact that they bequeathed us the most progressive system of government the world had ever seen AND included the mechanism for improving it as we go.

Bunbury [BUHN-ber-ee] (v.) - To avoid responsibilities or social engagements by claiming to have an ill friend that must be cared for. Used in a sentence: “You’d better actually be here on Saturday, and if you try to Bunbury your way out of it again, we’re through!”
Grandiloquent Word of the Day logo - Sepia-toned graphic with a baroque Victorian typeface and a pen-and-ink drawing of a farmer in overalls with his hat in his hand. Text bubble says: "So sorry, I’m unable to attend the Swingin’ Sixties Farmer’s Market event; I’m afraid that I must look after my ailing milcher, Bessie."

Captain America had a queer Jewish friend named Arnie who protected him from neighborhood bullies in his scrawny youth, and when Arnie passed years later, Cap started a center for LGBTQ+ youth in New York in his friend Arnie's memory. This is canon. There'd be no Cap without Arnie Roth.

What’s his beef against USAID in particu….oh. Wow.

Elon Musk

@elonmusk
We spent the weekend feeding USAID into the wood chipper. 

Could gone to some great parties.

Did that instead.U.S. policy was to help bring an end to apartheid and establish a nonracial, democratic government. In response to this policy and the Act, USAID/South Africa was responsible for financing projects that apartheid victims viewed as critical in promoting social, political, and economic change through peaceful means.

The mission enabled community consultation and ensured that the United States did not impose foreign-defined solutions to local problems. USAID created projects and activities to respond to the priorities of the black community and its leaders, maximized black participation and leadership, and ensured activities had a linkage to the general objectives of U.S. policy.

First-year funding for the program was $25 million, which was raised to $50 million the second year. The main project areas were community outreach and leadership development to redress the repression of black-led institutions; educational support and training to address the educational crisis in South Africa; black private enterprise development to combat the inhibiting effects of apartheid–induced discrimination in private enterprise; university grants to help create a new generation of economic and political leaders; human rights; legal assistance; labor union training; and health and nutrition

"and he overturned the tables of the money-changers"

To the Insurance Executive
Who Denied My Heart Procedure

You may not think it is worth it,
but at night, in the dark
before morning,
my son lays his ear on my garbled heart
and tells me it is beautiful music.
He doesn't fathom
what you did to me,
that you've traded our days of playing
for a few small pieces of silver.
All he thinks 
is my father's heart is music.
I hear. I hear. I knew.
Ruler, the children 
will outlive you.
I wish you
a long, long life of silences
while dreamers hear the living world is singing.
The one you have denied a life is you.

Back in 2020, Trump fired 5 inspectors general over the course of two months. At the time, @amandacarpenter.bsky.social wrote in The Bulwark, "had Trump fired all of the inspectors general in a single night, it might have aroused more outrage." Now comes news he fired 17 all at once tonight—

If you’re in an institution doing any kind of DEI work, the most important thing to do right now is simply call it something else. Change it to “Community Outreach” & then keep on doing the same important work. When they outlaw Community Outreach rebrand it as “Strategic Partnerships,” rinse/repeat.

BREAKING, via The Seattle Times: Trump's executive order to restrict birthright citizenship is blocked for at least the next two weeks by a Reagan appointee in Seattle who eviscerated the Trump lawyers present defending the order. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...
Senior U.S. District Judge John Coughenour on Thursday was blistering in his criticism of Trump’s action as he granted a temporary restraining order that blocks Trump’s executive order from taking effect nationwide.

“I’ve been on the bench for over four decades, I can’t remember another case where the question presented is as clear as this one is. This is a blatantly unconstitutional order,” Coughenour, an appointee of Ronald Reagan, said from the bench. “There are other times in world history where we look back and people of goodwill can say where were the judges, where were the lawyers?”

Coughenour interrupted before Brett Shumate, a Justice Department attorney, could even complete his first sentence.

“In your opinion Is this executive order constitutional?” he asked.

Shumate said, “it absolutely is.”

“Frankly I have difficulty understanding how a member of the Bar could state unequivocally that this is a constitutional order,” Coughenour said. “It just boggles my mind.”

Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will
