Last night is gonna be a real thinker for Ezra Klein

this is the most successful a CIA officer has been at toppling a government in years.

NYMag blew up its story about ICE's increased presence at 26 Federal Plaza, and pasted it on a wall a few blocks away on Broadway

Statement from United University Professions President Frederick E. Kowal regarding the detainment of a UUP Upstate Chapter member by ICE: Statement in following posts. (1/6)

My father worked on an offshore wind farm. Woke up early every morning before dawn to wrangle the zephyrs out to pasture, then he had to milk the breezes. Sometimes one of the gales would get a little rowdy. He died of whale-lung at the age of forty two.

Over to you @jaketapper.bsky.social !

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

So....later?

get your math politics jokes here, folks.

In the latest episode of Moral Matters, the @AMSS_Section podcast, ASA member Nicholas Hoover Wilson @nickhwilson.bsky.social @stonybrooku.bsky.social discusses his book Modernity's Corruption: Empire and Morality in the Making of British India @columbiaup.bsky.social.

I am proud to say: I am that T-Rex! ;)

"Cal Raleigh" is also an ACC rivarly now.

this white house actively treats a large swath of americans as disloyal and outside the political community and it doesn’t merit so much as a peep from the political press

The bloating might never leave your face, but beneath it -- you still have some years. You still have some hope.

It was two OUP books.

Tonight's futzing is just a little vamp in A harmonic minor. Messed around with some resonators for fun at the end. soundcloud.com/nicholas-wil...

Cool. Wasn't expecting to live in a country like this.

Okay, okay, I'm getting conspiracy-pilled here. Given all the madness today, he's *still* not making any statement?

have a new piece out of defense tech with nyrb! www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Wishful thinking, maybe, but feels like some kind of crest today. Consider: (1) Kimmel/Sinclair folding. (2) ICE actually *apologizing* for their agent in NYC. (3) Hegseth pre-neutering his power-play with generals. (4) Wheels off the Comey indictment already. Plenty still bad out there, but...

Still very bad, but between this and Kimmel/Sinclair, definitely feels like they're starting to have to pre-walk-back their attempted authoritarian grandstanding....to say nothing of how incompetent the Comey indictment is looking.

Ok I’ve now completed my close read of today’s terror memo from Trump, step by step in previous posts. I think it is a momentous document, potentially as much of an acceleration of the slow civil war as Kirk’s assassination. 1/

This is obviously a bad-faith thing for him to say, but I think it's also Vance showing trademark cowardice. He's peering around the corner of a failing Trump admin, and trying to position himself as a crypto-moderate. Still disgusting.

You’re laughing, but this is what your average faculty meeting is like.

I feel seen.

And one of our cacti flowering this morning.

Another garden shot.

Ernesto Ribberton in our back pond.

New statement from the House Dem leadership on Kimmel: “Brendan Carr, the so-called Chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, has engaged in the corrupt abuse of power. ... This will not be forgotten.”

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

The key problem with what Ezra Klein says here is that he fails – or is unwilling – to grapple with the fundamental reality of the political conflict: The movement that dominates today’s Right fully rejects the very idea of “living here with each other” as equals. That’s their defining position.

Swollen. Unhealthy. Red. Thinning. Unkempt. Weak. Sad.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov Are you two hiding for some reason? After the EVENTS OF THE DAY, you have nothing substantive to say?

*endorses with a Natty Boh*

You knew this was coming.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Zohran Mamdani and I will both be fearless in confronting Donald Trump’s extreme agenda — with urgency, conviction, and the defiance that defines New York” Gov. Kathy Hochul writes in an endorsement of the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City.
