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

USTA to Broadcasters: DO NOT show Trump getting booed. Streisand effect:

Today is National Read a Book Day. I feel like every day going forward needs to be National Read a Book Day in the U.S. if there’s anything we could use more of in this country, it’s book reading.

“History doesn’t always repeat but it often rhymes.” - Mark Twain (allegedly) My long review of Adam Nelson's pair of books on the history of the political economy of higher education in America was published in the most recent issue of The Review of Higher Education. muse.jhu.edu/pub/1/articl...

Was hopeful for the new Superman movie. Big chunks of it felt like SNL sketches spoofing it. Overall, a major dud. Too bad… 😢

Remember that time that Ronald Reagan had a painting made of his assassination attempt and moved Carter's presidential portrait to display it?

Clever book cover design. So, where are we right now in this story?

What is the future of democracy in America? Is there a future for democracy in the U.S.? These were some of the questions tackled last night at The American Academy in Berlin when we heard from George Packer, Anne Applebaum, and Jeffrey Goldberg, from The Atlantic, moderated by Daniel Benjamin.

A very short history of the Washington Post 1972: Let's report on Watergate and hold the President and government accountable. 2025: Let's cooperate with the burglars.

What Trump has done for US farmers so far: -frozen their foreign aid program (and left their food to rot) -encouraged EU to ban their products -frozen legally-owed reimbursements for their energy efficiency upgrades etc. -threatened to deport half their workforce -suppressed research on bird flu

When there's a security breach at a company or organization you typically get an email letting you know that your personal information has been compromised. Who is going to message 300+ million Americans letting them know their personal information is no longer secure?

Given that today is Groundhog Day and we are living, on repeat, through a new daily hell every day, I have an idea: Could we force FOTUS and Edolf to watch “Groundhog Day” on repeat, à la “Clockwork Orange” style, until they understand the message of the movie?

I don’t know if Kamala Harris would have been a great president, a good president, or a mediocre president. But I know this: She would not have been a traitorous president. She would not have been a destructive president. I know she would have worked FOR the people, not against them.

If Harris had been elected and then once in the White House had done nothing but sit quietly in the Oval Office, it still would have been 1,000% better for the country than this ridiculous shitshow.

They find, on average, a dozen unexploded WWII bombs per week in Germany. Mostly the ordinances are duds but occasionally they’re live. Either way, it’s a huge operation to remove them. The War ended 80 years ago. Bad decisions have long-term consequences.

Heartbreaking and despicable. This adds insult to injury. Go to @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social's account to hear from him first-hand.

Q: Why isn't Elon's Hitler salute on the front pages of the German newspapers today? A: Because Nazi symbols are verboten in Germany.

Berlin! This is where I’ll be for the next six months. Agnes was awarded a fellowship at The American Academy in Berlin, where will live. She will work on her book and give talks at the Academy and elsewhere. I am on sabbatical and will work on my research projects.

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

@bagleycartoons.bsky.social is always spot on with his analysis. This is one case where I wish he were wrong…

Beautiful tribute to Jimmy Carter. 💛💛
