Argentina’s libertarian leader is lavishing praise on Donald Trump ahead of his first White House meeting with the U.S. president. The tactic has helped transform President Javier Milei's cash-strapped country into one of the Trump administration’s closest allies. https://to.pbs.org/4hdHWPa

There are hard questions we need to ask ourselves right now. But no matter what this administration is planning, we know who we are—we love democracy & plan to fight (peacefully) for it. In a moment where knowledge is power, here is what you need to know. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!! The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

Any news organization that treated "Will Trump Get Nobel?" as a remotely serious question, and not one more indication of his accelerating hallucinatory patterns, has some 'splaining to do. Looking at you, all major news orgs.

Donald Trump demanded the arrest of Chicago’s mayor and the governor of Illinois. @jonlemire.bsky.social on why Trump’s threats are no longer bluster:
