No Sh&t Sherlock. That this judgment is even necessary is an infamous chapter in American history. Worse, everyone knows Trump will ignore it.
I am intrigued by this new offering as long as it can avoid hate speech and otherwise pointedly offensive content. I'm basically interested in news and dialog about a free world both driven and constrained by social responsibility.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Easily verifiable offenses to any notion of a lawful nation, ethical leadership, and a stable democracy.
“Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time.” So opens “A Talk to Teachers,” which James Baldwin delivered to a group of educators in October, 1963.

If we have to become an authoritarian state, can we at least get eco-cities, bullet trains, and renewable energy?

If ICE has so much money, “why do they need the military?…My speculation is because it plays better on TV.”
Implications for intervention and identification of best practices based on a single study is not how science works. It certainly is not how translational medical research works.
Increasingly, I am questioning the editorial wisdom of reporting results from a single scientific study--even a meta-analytic review--for popular consumption by people outside the relevant area of scientific expertise, especially with an eye toward translation to practice (e.g., behavior change).

This is the protest that Trump has sent the flippin Marines to break up. Outrageous! Thanks to @jesscraven101.bsky.social for the video.

Extremely important and compelling, especially when they talk about the case of Mahmoud Khalil who was arrested by ICE for exercising his 1st amendment rights at Columbia University. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
AMAZING! As a Jewish person, I 100% SUPPORT this! But as a New Yorker this also reminds me how TACKY & GAUDY Trump Tower is.
When you are talking about the Mahmoud Khalil Trump Tower protest today *DON’T LEAVE OUT THAT THE PROTESTERS ARE JEWISH* The administration doesn’t give a fuck about Jews. We’re nothing more than a tool to them. They’re weaponizing us to justify their fascism This protest demolishes their rhetoric

It’s amazing to me that politicians don’t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be. You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion. Which is more powerful?
Found myself talking with Gen Z’er in bookstore who, to my pleasant surprise, had heard an oral reading by Ginsberg of his Howl. We discussed the compelling style of his presentation. “Something determined about it” she said. The resistance is taking shape… in yet another cycle of life and society.

Entrepreneurial activism is one half of the solution. Consumer activism is the other. Perhaps we need a consumer movement at the scale of the labor movement that transformed society a century ago when oligarchs threatened to take over America.

RIP David Lynch. His understanding of the ineffable qualities of human experience is perhaps best rendered in the reality of this documentary. ourheartspeaks.org/my-beautiful...
This is an enduring tribute to David Lynch. ourheartspeaks.org/my-beautiful...
David Lynch gave us the language we needed to better articulate the indescribable strangeness of our shared reality. “Lynchian” is so overused because it’s a viscerally understandable word without any known synonyms. I can’t imagine a more beautiful artistic legacy than that.
