If you missed it: Historian Michael Vorenberg joined @johnfugelsang.bsky.social and me on The Oath and The Office to unpack why the Civil War didn’t truly end at Appomattox and how authoritarian presidents abuse Lincoln's legacy. Video is now up:

Fists raised in solidarity for pro choice for all women.
Pro Choice means trusting women to run their own lives.
Control is the problem.
Choice is the power.
It’s not about what women choose — it’s about having the damn choice.

Unfortunately this is behind a paywall, but the headline tells the story.
In Omaha, SNAP cuts will be catastrophic.
The man representing Omaha - Republican Don Bacon of #NE02 - was the DECIDING VOTE for these very cuts.
People need to know what their Reps have done.

My sympathies. Does AI understand nuance, regional terms and accents, slang, or sarcasm? Robotic line calling works in tennis, but can AI fully comprehend human expressions?
A future for many of us … a very near future … an imminent future.
I am enjoying #TennisChannel showing French Open doubles play! Most times, grand slam broadcasts are singles only (too often men & American players as the focus IMO). It is a joy to watch my favorite players Paolini, Errani, Hsieh, & Mertens playing doubles. My cat, George, follows the action, too!
The use of inappropriate clothing and weaponry that makes them look more like military cosplay terrorists than actual government agents performing a garden-variety low-risk domestic police action is both intentional and incredibly dangerous.
“Fixing climate change is too expensive.”
Um no. What’s really expensive is doing nothing.
Climate disasters cost billions—and those costs are rising fast. Climate solutions save money and lives, as well as building a better world for us all 🌏💚

Realized I said unscrewed instead of uncrewed … I think it’s accurate the way it is. What do you think?

Charlie Rangel was a Korean War hero, a great patriot, and true legend of New York. I was lucky enough to meet him and hear him tell his harrowing story of surviving that day in Kunu-Ri and how it shaped his life forever. There’s a poetry to his passing on Memorial Day.
These guys are “emergency” hires. Like Adolf’s Brownshirts or Benito’s Blackshirts, these guys are Trump’s Levis street thugs & paramilitary militiamen. They did not have time to attend minimal 6 month peace officer training programs. Many law enforcement training programs are 2-4 years!
Imposters.
Memorial Day is when we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and
with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence
These are the foundations of real freedom.
Not a mention of our war dead nor the meaning behind the holiday.
Trump is a dementia decayed sociopath and traitor. He is only a hero to stupid or corrupt people.
For those who sacrificed all, and the ones who will never forget them.
This hits hard.

Choose 20 albums that mean something to you. Choose albums that resonate with you, for whatever reason - ignore the snobs!
• One album per day for 20 days, in no particular order.
• No explanations, no reviews, just covers.

Sooo. Apparently that asshole has been using the threat of tariffs to extort countries into cutting massive deals with Felon’s companies.
And why not? He got away with extortion last time thanks to Mitch McConnell and Merrick Garland.
