Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild. Period

George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway.bsky.social · 08/04/2026
@ewong.bsky.social is absolutely correct here. The real problem is that, because Donald Trump is a dimwitted and impulsive narcissistic sociopath, he too often does things that he has to then back away from, often after great damage has been done.
Edward Wong: "The use of the term TACO to mock Trump isn't constructive, nor is it accurate in any way. There's a lot at stake in each of his decisions — including the well-being of millions of lives. Leaders should be able to climb down from escalation with face."

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

I left the Catholic Church decades ago But I still know the words of Jesus according to the Bible "Christian" Nationalism is a heresy And most people who call themselves Christians don't believe in most of the things that these wealthy con artist evangelical pastors like Paula White preach🧵

every time i write about wage theft i do a double take because it's so crazy corporations steal more than $50 bn from workers' paychecks each year, illegally paying workers less than they earned for their labor that significantly exceeds the combined losses from larceny, burglary, & vehicle theft

The Astor Place Riots of 1849 resulted in “the greatest loss of life in a civic insurrection in American history up to that time”. And they were incited over the “wrong” actor playing Macbeth. [daily.jstor.org]

On May 10th, 1849, protestors rioted at Astor Place Opera House, leading to the deadliest civic insurrection in American history up to that time.

Today, on Good Friday, we mark a day of sacrifice. Some New Yorkers will abstain from eating; others will spend hours without speaking.
Faith, the Bible tells us, is belief in the things unseen. That belief is what will guide so many of our neighbors in solemn reflection and reverence.
I wish all those observing Good Friday a blessed day of peace.

It’s objectively insane that there isn’t at the very least an 80 percent agreement among Congressional members that Trump must be removed and tried in a court of law. The harm is evident, on going, and will only get worse until our government actually fulfills its obligations to the People.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

This young man has it exactly right.
A tweet from “Adam Mockler @adammockler” reads:
“Stephen Miller just went on Fox News and said telling troops to refuse illegal orders is an ‘open act of insurrection.’ He is telling on himself.
They are planning to give illegal orders, and they want a military that will follow them blindly.”
