This is bone chilling. We are watching a Censorship Regime forming. Everyone in America - citizens and green card holders - has the protection of free speech.

If only we had some sort of mutual defense pact. A treaty organization for the North Atlantic perhaps.

I was part of the last generation of kids to get the measles (and chicken pox, and rubella, and the mumps). Trust me, you don't want them: weeks of childhood misery (and I have been lucky, so far, to have had no lasting effects). Vaccines may be the smartest thing our species

Must read. The speed of the unraveling of what has truly made America great is stunning. No one is more clear-eyed about what is happening and what is at stake than Timothy Snyder. The Imperialism Has no Clothes, by Timothy Snyder open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p/v…

A haunting, powerful, beautiful essay by novelist and poet Kaveh Akbar. A question to be considered and acted on now -- What will you do? thenation.com/article/activi…

Here is my best guidance for action, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons more than eight years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." Link to filmed reading and text

JD Vance holds a JD from Yale Law (and so do I). Presumably, he knows that he is disregarding the law here, and being deceptive about the protections it affords. Non-citizens physically present in the United States, regardless of their immigration status, are entitled to due

Good trouble. “We the people.” TY ⁦Cory Booker⁩

A handful of R senators and House members could announce: They're caucusing with the Dems for now and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker. And they'll do this in order to work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

This. Yes. Speak up.

Chilling but important to read. We are a ways down a very dangerous path. It must be confronted if we are to keep it (as Franklin said.) State Terror, by Timothy Snyder open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p/s…

BREAKING: Senator Senator Chris Van Hollen just met with El Salvador's Vice President Félix Ulloa, and get this... The VP told Van Hollen that the reason they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia at CECOT is because the Trump administration is paying them to do so. They also provided no

The tax code should prioritize present work over dynastic power, yet does the opposite. The highest tax rate is on wages while capital gains, estates, and endowments get highly favorable treatment.

Appreciate the thoughtfulness and nuance of John Arnold. Whether or not you think DAFs should have a payout rate, it isn't clear why DAFs & foundations should be treated differently in terms of the excise tax (for later, the same question does apply to payout rates)

Every word. TY David Brooks for capturing so well what so many of us are feeling. nytimes.com/2025/05/29/opi…
