“America’s calendars now have eight days a week. That’s not even touching the mangled American flag and the random splattering of stars around it.” The least of the issues with the cooption of the IMLS, but also so representative of all that Kelly Jensen has been documenting.

This whole series is such timely and valuable work. I may have to frame this paragraph and keep it on my desk as a reminder/mantra.
Screenshot of second-to-last paragraph. Text:

The fundamental promise of legal education is that it produces professionals capable of competent practice. <highlighted sentence>Source blindness combined with source erasure puts this promise at risk by creating lawyers who think law is information that can be summarized rather than understanding it as text-specific authority requiring judgment, context, and verification.<end highlighted sentence> This is not just a pedagogical problem; it's an existential crisis for the legal profession itself.

What we are seeing now flows from those dramatic street confrontations, brought on by groups such as Patriot Prayer and the Proud Boys nearly a decade ago, when they made Portland their target and Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson pledged, “The stench-covered and liberal-occupied streets of Portland will be CLEANSED.”

Greg I’m no conspiracist, but… this synchronicity of images in my librarian’s list seems to be pointing to a disturbing truth about robot infiltration into our body politic.
Two adjoining Bluesky posts. Top is of Tesla robot with right arm raised, left arm down, cropped from torso up.

Second is photo of Tucker Carlson in exact same profile and crop (from post, “Tucker Carlson funded by Russian Propaganda Machine”)
