- Things fall apart; the husk cannot hold; Coconuts are loosed upon the world, The orange tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.
- For the past 25 years, Reshona Landfair has lived with the painful aftermath of her name lingering in the public without her consent. She was the 14-year-old girl in the absolutely sickening R. Kelly videotape. Now, she’s reclaiming her name and her story. We should all bear witness.

- One observation: Several senators brought up terminated grants. Bhattacharya kept saying the agency hasn't cut any funds. That is false. When he says no funds have been cut, he means NIH spent all its allocated money, as required by law. In fact, a watchdog found NIH illegally impounded funds.
- "The news media doesn’t seem to know how to bring anything other than wide-eyed credulity to Trump's utterances, even after all the lies and deceit of the past decade." Great @sulliview.bsky.social takedown of coverage of "pivot" on ICE and Greenland: margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/dear-media...

- On the weakness of state terror: once ppl internalize the regime's lawless brutality, that they are no safer in their homes than in the streets (& vice versa), and that their unwavering defiance is what confounds & disempowers the regime, they also realize they have nothing to lose but their fear.
- Comer on Fox right now urging Trump to pull ICE out of Minneapolis to *punish* Minnesotans — will prove to the state how good it was to have ICE there! This is really some 5-D chess
- More profiles in cowardice: Target, Best Buy, General Mills, Cargill and roughly four dozen other large MN companies issued a public letter calling for an “immediate de-escalation of tensions” in the state. Stops short of condemning the killings or who is responsible for them.
