Just about the worst possible example these administrators can give to the young people they are educating. It reminds me of the high school administrators who burned Kurt Vonnegut's book Slaughterhouse Five decades ago, for students to see. Borders on child abuse.

Donald lunged into Rachel Scott's face and growled, bellowed at her in red-faced rage.

That's an abuser. Right there. I've been there, on the sharp end of it. Any woman who has been there sees it here.

If you follow me and want to help, I only have one request.

Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

If you are a woman or a member of any marginalized group, your government can turn on you at any time. Eternal vigilance is called for.

If your one vote didn't matter, the goon squad that has its filthy paws on our government wouldn't be going to so much aggressive, corrupt trouble to stop your vote from counting.

Plug-in solar isn’t going to replace utility-scale solar farms or 10kW rooftop arrays, but it fills the missing bottom layer of the clean energy transition.

Beyond the savings, I like that I’m reducing my contribution to climate change, and that feeling’s invaluable.

Most American have zero interest in the US government treating one of our most important historical allies and trading partners like this. But the worst among us is running the country, thanks to the worst and most irresponsible voters among us.

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

Bessent can only dream to possess the intellect and integrity of, say, the late Democratic Congresswoman Barbara Jordan. I wish she were alive to debate him. She'd wipe the floor with him.

Possible for rare book dealers to ID who the buyer is and decline the sale? Glad I can say I've never done business with Amazon, it hasn't been easy. I hope I can avoid doing that in the future.
New from 404 Media: we solved which AI company is buying massive shipments of rare books, scanning and destroying them to train AI.

We put an Apple AirTag in a rare book, followed it. It ended up at an Amazon facility. Its logo is a dinosaur ripping through a book www.404media.co/we-tracked-a...

Exclusive: A rare bookseller suspected his books were being bought by AI companies. He stuck an AirTag in a book and we tracked it to a secretive Amazon facility in Las Vegas where they scan and destroy books called VGT3:

Black people are being lynched.

NOT suicide. Murder. Racially motivated terrorism. This kind of diabolical violence has only ever been perpetuated by white people.

Strange fruit 2026.

We cannot remain silent in the face of this evil.
