In response to a question I asked AI re sycophants in literature, it responded: "The closer a sycophant stands to an unaccountable leader, the more likely they are to absorb the fallout when things collapse. Or, to put it bluntly in literary terms: Kings survive. Courtiers don’t." #SundaySentence

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

It was impossibly black at dawn after overnight rain in dry season. A crow was about something. I didn't look. A sad song made me cry. In scant light, I turned off the lamps, opened the curtains, tended the kitchen window plants, and saw a wet beaked Phobe flitting just outside. #FirstBirdOfMyDay

May the death of Renee Nicole Good be a turning point, an awakening to the scale of danger America faces with this deadly abusive regime and the need to speak out and fight back. May her death not be in vain.

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Fascinating.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of the White House blaming the police for what happened on January 6th? Lieu: The White House’s statement is batshit crazy.

Oil and distraction Trump attacks Venezuela anntelnaes.substack.com/p/oil-and-di...

Rubio is claiming that they did not need Congress permission because it was a law enforcement mission. The US is behaving as a global police state, extending its own arbitrary legal decisions to the whole world. This is not a problem just for Venezuela.

Thank you to all the performers who are canceling their events at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Happy Christmas friends. Remembering those we've lost.

More Trump in the Epstein files, more Trump wanting his own name on massive, unneeded battleships, more Trump removing 30 ambassadors, more & more humans taken without due process…the grotesquerie of America’s mistake showcased day after day. So much work ahead to repair the damage.

Zowwie! Nice work!

From West With The Night (1942) by Beryl Markham, an odd #SundaySentence offering. "She was a little like an eccentric genius who, after being asked by his host why he had rubbed the broccoli in his hair at dinner, apologized with a bow from the waist and said he had thought it was spinach."
