This tired blame the media tactic that attracts the aggrieved billionaire set is not what the regular audience wants and displays an astonishing ignorance of what it does want. Most of all, it’s insider to the point of boredom and the opposite of creative.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

It was a privilege to see Arcadia staged at Steppenwolf in the 1990s. There are few contemporary playwrights of his caliber. #TomStoppard

Thank you @tiffanydcross.bsky.social for telling it like it is. “Feckless beltway media” is this nation’s Achilles’ heel.

Pastor Luke Harris-Ferree and the Rev. Michael Woolf were arrested Friday while trying to meet and pray with detainees. They call on Gov. JB Pritzker to answer for the excessive use of force by police who aided ICE. trib.al/QVHsf3b

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

What he said: 💯 🎯

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

No more Home Depot for me. BOYCOTTING anyone who bends the knee.

In a video taken by a witness and shared with the Sun-Times, cars could be seen blocking the white, unmarked SUV before a masked agent rolled down his window and dropped the canisters. Smoke spread around the vehicle and passersby began to scream.

Thugs.

Downtown Chicago, today. The little girl …

UPDATE: New footage and info from the chaotic scene in New York City today, where an ICE officer violently shoved a desperate woman to the ground as she pled for the safety of her husband, who had just been arrested without warning as he attended a court hearing. Read the thread ⬇️

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

RIP Robert Redford. This is one of his most sublime onscreen moments. youtu.be/Y1pgp1BOqqM?...

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

It used to be far-right groups who flooded cities wearing masks and military gear, looking for a fight. Now it’s anonymous federal agents who are violently attacking people on the street. trib.al/TwXSx7N

From this month's edition of The Onion.

Just returned from vacation in Maine. The numerous hotel/inn ‘vacancy’ signs confirm said Canadian furiousness.

More Democrats growing a spine in real time. This was unexpected from @governor.ny.gov but she delivered a great message.

This is just great (by Rep Mikie Sherrill). Follows previous excellent questioning by Rep Moulton and Vindman. That Hegseth still has this job ...

Musk and Trump are a great example of why men are too emotional to lead.

Which skeptical views merit consideration? Which are denialism? Daniel Immerwahr writes about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the pandemic, and the revolt against expertise.

What's that term for an arsonist who keeps setting fires, and revels in attention for putting some of them out? (Rhetorical question.)
