"THE END OF OUR CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC AS WE KNOW IT COULD BE HAPPENING NOW"

David Hogg's exit reminds me of the time Pelosi took AOC aside and silenced her and her friends. Where would we be now if we'd listened to young liberals instead of the old guard. Nothing against Pelosi, she just did not anticipate the lawlessness of her GOP colleagues. AOC did.

The narrative that “the vast majority voted for this” or that “the far left didn’t vote” or “more than half the country is racist” it’s all bullshit propaganda to keep you on your asses blaming each other instead of doing the needful, standing up to the Trump regime. Do not fall for the script.

Without notifying some members of the education board before the vote, the superintendent added standards requiring high school students to “analyze discrepancies” in the 2020 election, despite the fact that these claims have been thoroughly debunked.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

There are spoilers in this M. Gessen column, pegged to Alexander Molochnikov’s searing production of “Seagull: True Story” at La MaMa, but it makes a strong case for theater that speaks to our politically tumultuous times. We need criticism that does, too. (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/o...

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

REMINDER: Wisconsin has same-day voter registration. So, if you haven’t registered or recently moved or anything like that, you can register at your polling place (with ID and proof of residence) TODAY. Every state should do this. It’s great that Wisconsin does this. Go vote.

A reminder: when someone begins with “I’m no expert…”, they’re about to prove it.

The tone deafness is deafening. Can't find much sympathy for this arts leader complaining about this when literal artists are being unhoused.

With national events moving fast and in a threatening direction, we’re beyond the range of experience of any living person. A primer for scientists (and everyone) on why it’s not just politics - and seven ways to act, locally: samwang.substack.com/p/an-action-...

This is where we are. 11 yr. olds taking their own life bc they are afraid their parents will be deported and they will be alone. Congratulations to those who voted for him or didn't vote. This what you wanted? RIP Jocelynn Rojo Carranza🩶 www.latintimes.com/11-year-old-...

"The halftime show, where hip-hop maestro Kendrick Lamar took center stage. Lamar unleashed an artistic inferno rooted in Black culture, Black poetry, and Black resistance . . . "

Reagan cut the education budget by 65%. Now 60% of Americans are at a 5th Grade level. 1 in 3 of these are reading & writing at an 8 year old level. No critical literacy skills. They haven't progressed from concrete to abstract thinking. They are vulnerable to advertising & amygdala hijacks.

Well, shit. I got hacked on this thing already.

After Zuck and Elon's antics this week, guess I'll be spending more time over here. Hi!

Screwed-up Christmas Eve development @majesticrep.bsky.social in the Arts District. Proprietor @troyheard.bsky.social reports burglars made off with MacBooks, iPads, a keyboard, electronic drum kit, mics, and related equipment. Also “a random bag of makeup.” @reviewjournal

All I want for Christmas is to pull a loose book from a bookshelf and finally, at long last, find that it opens a hidden door.

I know this will seem obvious to anyone who works in the arts or loves the arts but I genuinely think it needs saying again and again - I watched my son's secondary school xmas show last night and saw kids I've known for years shed all shyness and self consciousness to perform and it was beautiful

If you or someone you know is an immersive performer it's worth taking a look at the details on the Auditions and Workshop they will be holding that weekend. This is a great opportunity for those starting out on their immersive performance career. www.immersiveexperience.org/updates/disn...

Richard Foreman has a new play on for the first time in a decade. It is not staged or designed by Richard Foreman. For experimental theater lovers, this is a really big deal. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/17/t...

Who’s gonna tell him?

This is... actually a fairly reasonable takeaway from this year.

So proud of this production.

The Stereophonic recording will be my forever jam.

Libraries are absolutely the best places on earth.

Mom and Dad are proud of you. For real. Keep it up.

The original unedited Emmet Otter is streaming on Prime and I couldn't be happier. If you're not familiar, there are extra song verses - and Ma Otter hits the fox with a particularly sharp zinger early on. Disney trimmed it all down for distribution.

got into a conversation about the proper pronouns for godzilla and found this article. honestly, good for them.
