And the reason this is a crisis is that he probably can’t understand any daily briefings, let alone make decisions on them: so who is the president right now? Who is making those decisions?

Federal government that flagrantly violated more than 100 federal court orders has confused thoughts about flagrant violations, especially deliberately confusing the actions of federal bench in MN with the state government. (On purpose, for the prez and Fox News, of course.)

Kansas City has some weird little spots.

A picture of a neighborhood fountain with a basin up on the pedestal, and on the pedestal is a boy standing and facing a frog, leaning back with his crotch sticking forward as if he’s peeinh standing up, really as if he’s going to pee on the frog opposite him. There’s a stream of water, but it’s actually coming from the frog’s mouth and is aimed at the boy but is hitting his feet instead of his midsection, as it looks at first glance.

There’s a whole cadre right wing professors, mostly middle aged, mostly men, mostly white, who went to university in the 80s and 90s. They want their nostalgic vision of academia back and thought partnering with the fascists might get them there. DEI gone too far. Also fat paychecks. Etc.

When I gave my keynote last week about community defense in Minnesota, someone from Ukraine came up to me afterward and said thank you for talking about what it’s like to be under attack and fight back, because most people can’t relate. I wish we couldn’t, but hey Ukrainian friends: we see you.

#OnThisDay Sept 22 1939: Two days before entering service, the Chicago & North Western Railway runs a highly publicized preview trip of its all-new streamlined "Twin Cities 400" passenger train, so named because it could make the run from the St Paul to Chicago in 400 minutes.

That’s it. We’re done here. The US will likely never regain its place as a preeminent science leader. And given how dependent most Universities have become on NIH $ since the mid 1990s, the knock-on effects for them will be devastating.

The GOP loves to ask people "what is a woman?" But I think what they really need to ask l, "what is being alive?" Because Mitch McConnell might be technically not dead...but he doesn't really look like he's alive either. We should not let the undead vote in the Senate says me.
