I’ve covered Chicago’s federal courthouse for 11 years and have never seen a hearing like this one.

Tonight we congratulate our friend Stephen Colbert and his writers, staff and crew for eleven years of excellence. Watch Colbert’s finale tonight, and then never watch CBS again.

Due process is ending after 250 years. The demise of the long-running pillar of democracy made our critic think of another thing: maybe the government should just kill everybody they don't like immediately and get it over with.

"But we're not a cult. Why do people keep saying we're a cult?"

Reupping: "Those who engaged in the attacks last week will be brought to justice." ---Trump on 1/13/21, after the House impeached him but before the Senate had voted on whether to convict.

However appalled you are by this, it’s not enough. It’s a frank statement that Trump and Trumpists are above the law and need not even plausible excuses to loot your tax dollars. It’s a total failure of our civic institutions.

'I have never read the Washington Post' might seem like a throwaway but it's the most obvious lie in history and we just blow past it. Small potatoes in the grand scheme but really speaks volumes about their relationship with the truth.

the president is raiding the treasury to put your tax dollars into this mans personal checking account as a reward for what hes doing in this picture

They elected Trump twice and unleashed this man on the black African people - my people - that he has hated his whole life. I will never get over that, never.

I posted last week about my concerns regarding the potential consequences of six full years of an all-out assault on public health and how it could affect any hantavirus quarantine.

I don't care if you found it for free: do not dredge up AI-based mulch and drag it home to your rosebeds. You don't know what kinds of pathogens it carries.

just open contempt for the united states as a pluralist and secular democracy. and a reminder that the function of the fiction that the united states was founded as a fundamentalist christian nation is to establish a hierarchy of human worth with white christians at the top

Spoke recently to a friend of mine who runs a lab. This administration is profoundly, maybe irreversibly, undermining the foundations of scientific research in the US. We won't feel the effects right away but they're coming

"For those math nerds"

Bhattacharya’s devastation to US health research is having awful consequences for people’s lives, careers, & health The impacts will last generations I hope he gets fired asap (joining his fellow MAGA/MAHA MDs, Makary, Prasad, & Hoeg)—though a new director could, sadly, be just as extreme 😢

Alex Haley grew up in Tennessee. He traced his family tree back to his original enslaved, African ancestor, then wrote 'Roots'. He received a Pulitzer Prize for it. Knoxville just banned it 'cause it might make white kids sad.

Kash Patel went snorkeling around the sunken hull of the USS Arizona, a battleship that still houses the remains of over 900 Americans killed during Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Not even the families of those killed are allowed to do what he did. apnews.com/article/fbi-...

BREAKING (again, sorry) the order is in: The Fifth Circuit's ruling is again blocked. Mifepristone remains available via telehealth. Alito and Thomas dissent. Thomas' dissent mentions the Comstock Act, the 1873 anti vice law conservatives want to use to ban mailing abortion pills.

Example: this 1752 court document, which is about an enslaved man (Robin) and a white servant (William Healey) robbing William Brattle's house. They took a huge chest full of silver and were planning to run away to Nova Scotia together. Unfortunately, they were caught.

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Vital thread for historians, other researchers who use digitized historical archives, and teachers. AI is altering docs via transcript and summary, and it’s radically changing them in dangerous ways:

There are stories from all over about universities' dismantling of the humanities. I have a small but dismaying data point from my university to contribute to the discourse. Harvard University now has NO assistant professors of English. That's how long it has been since we were allowed to hire.

I want it on a t- shirt.

When you’re posting about Joe Scarborough criticizing Trump remember he was among the first media figures to go kiss Trump’s ring at Mar-A-Lago after Trump won.
