It was not Hitler or Himmler who abducted me, beat me, and shot my family. It was the shoemaker, the milkman, the neighbor - who received a uniform and then believed they were the master race. - Karl Stojka, Auschwitz survivor

Why. Is. Anyone. Any public organization. Still. Using. X.

One basic lesson from political research is that secret police generally rely on mediocre men willing to do the dirty work of authoritarian regimes in order to advance their careers. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-the-fb...

A Blue Jay giving a wren impression with the tail feathers pointing straight up.

Patrick Kane has scored his 499th career goal, passing Glenn Anderson (498) for sole possession of 50th place on the NHL's all-time list.

Your regular reminder that ~90% of the lawless authoritarianism could end today, simply by these Senators & about 7 other people in Congress caucusing with the Democrats & giving them governing majorities in both chambers until the crimes & fascism stop.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

It would take only a handful of Republican votes in the Senate and even fewer in the House to impeach, convict, and remove Trump. Only a handful.

Every year, on New Year’s Eve, I pick a poem to carry with me into the new year. It’s a way for me to set some intention on what I want this new year to be. This year, my poem for the new year is Joy Harjo’s “For Calling the Spirit Back from Wandering the Earth in Its Human Feet.” Here’s to 2026.

"The Human's world ends soon," said the cat. "Again?" said the dog. "They are fond of endings and beginnings. Even if nothing changes." The dog whined. "Same procedure as last year?" said the cat. "Please." The cat lay on the dog's head and purred, muffling the fireworks. #CrossRepost

“I grew up writing letters, but it is so expensive to send them now, and people tend to respond by text, WhatsApp or a phone call. I say to them: ‘I don’t want to chat, can’t you write me a letter?’ Letter writing is so underrated.” @letterappsoc.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.

And this is Lithuanians currently protesting their government’s support of Vladimir Putin.

After several days of intense anti-corruption protesting by thousands of Bulgarians, demanding accountability and transparency, the government of Bulgaria has resigned. Never believe protest doesn’t matter.

This message hits hard.

Professor's pro-tip for anyone with college-age kids: Tell your kids go to class. It's really that simple. If you show up, you'll do okay. You don't have to be smart, you just have to be there. Maybe stay off your phones for 50 minutes. Just listen. You'll absorb something. I have data to prove it.
