If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

I have long maintained that all engineering or technology related students should be required to watch this movie.
Rewatching Real Genius (1985) tonight and I have to say it ages pretty well.
I’ve been noticing how much 80s nostalgia overlooks how much of the media had themes of anti-war/anti-military industrial complex, especially toward the end of the decade.
This movie isn’t even subtle about it.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Breaking on MS NOW:
Career DOJ prosecutors in both Minnesota and Los Angeles refused to be involved in charging Don Lemon and the other journalists who covered the Minneapolis church protests.
The prosecutors believe the evidence does not support the charges, per @carolleonnig.bsky.social.

When you watch the horrifying video of ICE agents murdering another human in Minneapolis at point-blank range, remember that these violent, untrained thugs have been empowered by a sadistic criminal who occupies our White House. This cannot go on.

A judge restored funding for the American Academy of Pediatrics that helps prevent unexpected infant death, increases pediatric care in rural areas, improves care for newborns, and more. Retaliating against Americans’ pediatricians is not how we protect our kids.
JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to restore $12 million in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics, saying the terminations appear to be retaliation for the group's view points re: vaccine safety/efficacy. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

"HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. poses the greatest immediate danger to Americans and should be first up. His decisions, priorities, and intentional sowing of confusion and complexity already are causing more illness and death. The evidence is all around us, including measles and flu surges. 1/3
We just had a week that changed everything, including my view of impeachment. Before: Wait until 2027. Now: Embrace it in 2026 and hold hearing-like forums to spotlight the many articles of impeachment filed against Trump and his cabinet. My latest @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/embracing-...
Embracing Impeachment
The case against Trump and his cabinet keeps growing—and the argument for waiting is no longer convincing.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Stephen Colbert is a class act. He's one of the best late-night hosts ever. Intelligent. Principled. FUNNY. Talented. A good man.
Regardless of motive, CBS is making a terrible mistake.
Thank you, @colbertlateshow.bsky.social for laughs, tears, connection. One hell of a job well done. #ColbertShow

Schrier to RFK Jr: You gave Cassidy the answer he needed to hear in order to get his confirmation vote, then as soon as you were secretary you turned around & fired all 17 members. You lied. I also want to be clear that I will lay all responsibility for every vaccine-preventable death at your feet.
