Iran's reading accords with the position Iran took throughout the talks and is more than simply plausible. This points to the MoU being drafted by utter incompetents, particularly the English text. But then we knew that. www.wsj.com/world/middle...

Unlike the Smithsonian events, a lot of the other events the commission planned are still happening! Unfortunately, Trump appears to have driven away a lot of people from figuring out the difference or even wanting to celebrate. america250.org/calendar/?vi...

And as you watch the Trump regime's sloppy, lame, politicized "celebrations" that have been thrown together at the last minute with duct tape, please understand Congress created a nonpartisan commission for 250 plans in 2016! I went to one of its first meetings, at DC's DAR hall, SEVEN YEARS AGO.

The American Right is literally debating whether or not we need an American Caesar, which is the the title of my book - appearing in 2 months. us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%... "That's just how it is."

Prof. Wurman adds a UMich Law Prof to his group of birthright citizenship skeptics. These folks continue to spread mistruths and errors to the public, and distort the record, injuring the public’s historical memory. Wurman et al refuse to answer questions, but they want to be taken seriously.

Folks, there’s something to be said for swagger.

Universities looking for a fix to relentless controversy are flocking to ‘civility’ initiatives. Critics say these efforts mask a darker project

The basic premise of the Supreme Court’s “colorblind Constitution” is that racism is bad, sure, but that it is ALSO racist for the law to try and protect people from racism

The ideology in question is opposing fascism. This horrific action is a shot across the bow at all of us—everyone who cares about their neighbors, who dares to dream of a better world, who opposes ICE terror and authoritarian repression. We cannot allow the state to disappear them.

The wonderful @marisakabas.bsky.social let me go long on the grim historic parallels between the Prairieland defendants and 19th century America’s brutal repression—and execution—of anarchists, union organizers, and political dissidents. We are all antifa now. www.thehandbasket.co/p/haymarket-...

I was told by my former closest friend who voted for this that "they're not going to deport people like you who're contributing." Whether or not immigrants are contributing has never been the point of Stephen Miller's/tr*mp's agenda of "Mass Deportations Now". It's always been about the racism.

KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.
