Iris and Treeboy caught in the act #Caturday

Wendell Berry, novelist, poet, farmer environmental activist, and so much more, has passed away. I had the honor of communicating with him when he wrote the foreword to a book I was editing. That briefest of encounters left me in awe of his wisdom and kindness and wanting to know more.

The two things that <actually> destroyed Biden's presidency were the freakout over 🇦🇫 & the freakout over inflation. And Trump's debacles in 🇮🇷 & with tariffs/inflation are orders of magnitude worse than each of those. It's incredibly obvious how wildly different the standards are for Republicans.

Mark Copelovitch@mcopelov.bsky.social · 6mo ago

The scale of failure & incompetence & alienating allies now, compared to Biden/🇦🇫, is orders of magnitude worse. And the tone of the coverage is simply the polar opposite. You don't have to believe me. You can go back & read @joshtpm.bsky.social & @brianbeutler.bsky.social from 2021:

One day I may understand time added on. But not today

Dr Oz on ACA "fraud" -- "Of the people who signed up, 40% never use the insurance. Let me ask you, John, you have health insurance -- do you use it once a year? In Obamacare right now 40% of the people ostensibly signed up never use the insurance ... we have a lot of fake people on the policies"

What an incredible misunderstanding/misrepresentation of Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Rep. Brandon Gill: "We particularly need the left to tone down the rhetoric ... somebody is gonna listen and believe they are the next Dietrich Bonhoeffer and act on that and that's what we're seeing here."

“They never said we had to remove the tarp.”—Kennedy Center Board, maybe

If they hadn’t insisted on the tarp, with the additional scaffolding needed for that, they could have met the deadline.😐

Aaaand, the tarp

58,000 people watching the livestream. Feels like we could get this to a million in the next hour. Would make a great headline.

Wow, Trump finally got a crowd to show up at the Kennedy Center.

Absolutely repugnant.

This is truly one of the worst things the court has done — both in terms of legitimacy and in terms of the law — since I have been covering the court.

If politicians want their endorsements to mean something, I suggest they not wait till after we’ve already had our ballots for weeks.

For my generation, the 1965 Voting Rights Act wasn't just a law but a statement that we were never again going backwards on race. I saw Black political power thrive in the '80s, and never thought I'd live to see the VRA get crushed What do we do now? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/supr...

Some progressives & Democrats need to stop justifying refusing to vote or 3rd party voting by saying Biden "didn't do anything." He did a whole damn lot. Facts matter. And so does a young liberal SCOTUS justice who will protect civil rights for decades. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/fa...
